Prayer for the First Day of School:

Loving Lord, we give our child into Your hands today as they begin this new journey of learning. May all go smoothly for them and for everyone in their class. Protect their heart and mind, guide them in wisdom, and help them to trust in You. Grant them courage when they face challenges, patience when lessons are difficult, and kindness toward classmates. May they grow in knowledge, faith, and love, and see Your presence in every person they meet today.

We also pray for our teachers as they step into a new academic year. Restore their spirit, renew their passion for sharing wisdom, and nurture their compassion for students. Guide them to open minds and hearts to Your Word, and help them to teach with patience, understanding, and love. May they inspire students to grow in knowledge, faith, and virtue. Amen.

The new classroom cabinets are installed! Come check them out at the Open House on Tuesday, August 18. ☘️

They are complete!!!

These beautiful new classroom cabinets are here because of the incredible generosity of our Shamrock community. ☘️ Through the support shown at our auction and the generosity of those who helped bring this project to life, this dream became a reality.

A special thank you to Klein Cabinets & Interiors Inc for their beautiful craftsmanship and for helping bring our vision to life. We could not be happier with the finished result!

This photo looks amazing but they are even more beautiful in person. We cannot wait for you to see them at our Open House in just a couple of weeks!

Thank you to everyone who supported our school and invested in our students. Your kindness has created a space where they will learn, grow, and thrive for years to come. We are so grateful to be part of such an amazing Shamrock community. We cannot wait to welcome the students back into the classrooms! 💚☘️
