“May we strive together with good will to form a community

Where the gifts of each one are acknowledged

And where each one does one’s best.

That the highest spiritual powers

May help us bring forth a school worthy of all children,

That they may learn to live and breathe in spirit awareness,

Blessing the world with their deeds.”
