Prayer for the End of the School Year
O God of all beginnings and endings,
We praise and thank you for the gift of this school year. It has been a time filled with grace and blessings, With challenges and opportunities, joys and sorrows.
The days have passed quickly, O Lord. The weeks, the months, the seasons, the holidays and holy days, The exams, vacations, breaks, and assemblies, All have come forth from Your hand.
While we trust that Your purposes have always been at work each day, sometimes it has seemed difficult to understand and appreciate Just what You have been up to in our school.
Give us the rest and refreshment we need this summer. Let our efforts of this past year bear fruit. Bring all of our plans to a joyful conclusion, and bless us, according to Your will,
with the fulfillment of our summer hopes and dreams. Watch over us in the weeks of rest ahead, and guide each day as You have done this past year. Help us return to school with a new spirit and a new energy.
May we continue to grow In age, wisdom, knowledge and grace all the days of our lives.
Amen.

"It's the end of the school year and I'm just bursting with so much energy that I think we should postpone summer," said no teacher ever.
Summer: The season when parents realize how amazingly underpaid teachers really are!
How can I be failing when I haven't even turned anything in?
He: Gasp! My server's down!
She: That's God's way of saying "Go outside!"
Mr. Osborne, may I be excused? My brain is full!
