Welcome to the end of Week 4!  Today was our first Prep lead assembly for the year, and didn’t they do a wonderful job!  Many had invited their grandparents, and the theme for their prayer was the Feast of Sts Joachim and Anne - who were Jesus’ grandparents.  Their special prayer today was thanking God for the special people in our lives, like grandparents, and the blessings they bring.  They prayed that we might follow their example, value their wisdom and knowledge and serve them, as they have served others.  

I see so many grandparents in our school community everyday, and I know my own children’s grandparents have played such an important role in their upbringing.  I’m very grateful to the role they play, and would like to echo the final prayer that Prep Platypus left us with today:

“May we love and cherish them, value and respect them, and always be grateful for them.”

Pax,
