PARENT-TEACHER PRAYER Heavenly Father— We come to Thee for wisdom to understand our children and patience to live, work, and share our lives with them. Grant us power to guard their health, education, recrea- tion, and spiritual development and to make them strong in body, mind and heart. Teach us to love our neighbor, that our children may learn tolerance and that there may be peace among nations. Free us from fear, that our courage may make our homes a haven of security for those we love. Strengthen us to endure whatever hardship and sacrifice may come, and in Thy good time lift us from the burden of war. Fill our hearts with faith that to our loved ones in service Thou wilt be a refuge; to our flag, a promise; to our country a fortress. Consecrate us to our tasks, and bless us that we may bless all children everywhere. GOD BLESS AMERICA God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, Thru’ the night with a light from above. From the mountains to the prairies, To the ocean, white with foam. God bless America, my home sweet home. God bless America, my home sweet home. TAPS GENERAL INFORMATION Registration—Board Members—Lobby, Broadview Hotel.
