| A Prayer for the New YearThank you, Lord, for giving me the brand new year ahead.
Help me live the way I should as each new day I tread.
Give me gentle wisdom that I might help a friend.
Give me strength and courage so a shoulder I might lend.
The year ahead is empty, help me fill it with good things,
Each new day filled with joy and the happiness it brings.

Welcome Back, Dragons!
We hope everyone had a fun and restful holiday break.

Help Us Find Library Books!
While you're home over the holiday season, please spare a few minutes to search for any missing or overdue library books. There are quite a few items that have been checked out since September or October, and we'd love to have them back for all of our St. Michael's readers to enjoy.
Some good places to check are under beds or dressers, beneath car seats, stuffed into backpack pockets, or on your student's (or their siblings') bookshelves. Just look out for the telltale white spine label and St. Michael's barcode label on the back. Thanks so much and happy holiday reading!
