Mount Ulla prayer
On May 8, some fifth-graders at Mount Ulla Elementary School gathered to lead a voluntary school prayer at the flagpole.
Students from all grades were present at the pole as fifth-graders Wyatt Martin, Miller Graham, Tanner Lloyd, Susannah Horton, CJ Ingram, and Victoria Orbison led the Lord’s prayer and prayed for our country, economy, troops in Iraq, and for the president and leaders to make good choices.
The students had the prayer to celebrate the National Day of Prayer and to show appreciation of the United States and its freedom of speech. One of the first national calls to prayer occurred at the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
Victoria Orbison said, “It is important to me that we should always be thankful for our country and our Lord.”
Another student, Tanner Lloyd, said, “I was glad that so many students showed up and many thanked us for having the prayer.”
