Prayers for Ukraine

 

Dear Families of The Endowed,

Obviously, the war in Ukraine is distressing for all of us. Our children will be upset and perhaps scared as well. Please see links below to Newsround pages, Save the Children and also a government page that help explore the topic and also deal with the fact that it’s okay to feel worried but more importantly how to get help and to talk about fears. I know that many of the classes have talked about this already and will continue to do so. It is important that we talk about this with our children to help them with their worries, questions and concerns.

A Prayer Station will be set up outside the main office this afternoon so please do let your children know that they can come along and write a prayer or take time to reflect in this space. You are obviously invited to do the same.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ukrainian people at this difficult time.

 

Yours sincerely,
