«Whether it's a handshake or a hug at carpool; a reflection on Sunday's gospel; an inspirational video from YouTube; a read - aloud from an old favorite like the Giving Tree; affirming a
member of the community for a good deed; a
blessing on a group
of students like a CYO team before a big game or the eighth graders prior to taking their high school placement test; a prayer intention for someone who is ill or who has recently returned home to heaven; so many different activities can take place during morning
assemblies, but there is only one goal, make God known, loved and served.»
