Wright Traditions

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

UMS-Wright School Prayer

	Dear Lord and Heavenly Father ~
	As we search for knowledge and wisdom,
	Grant that we may not forget
	That Thou art the Giver of all good and perfect gifts.
	Teach us to play the game with honor,
	in our work and in our play.
	May our words and deeds be such that those who
	were before us
	Will not be ashamed, and those who follow after
	Will find in us an example of truth and courage,
	the spirit of our school.
	Give to us a noble spirit, that we, with our teachers,
	May go forward to achieive the highest goals in life.
	Bless our school and all who teach and all who learn
	And Thine be the honor and glory forever. Amen.

~David H. Edington, UMS, c/o 1899

	Our Father we pray that we may show ourselves
	Approved workmen before Thee
	And that we need not be ashamed of our works.
	We pray that Thy word shall be as a lamp unto our feet
	Showing the way and guiding us in the right pathway.
	May the words of our mouths and the meditations
	of our hearts be acceptable in Thy sight,
	O Lord our strength and our Redeemer. Amen.

	In the name of Julius T. Wright,
	sing all voices old and new.
	In praise of our beloved school,
	may faithful hearts be true.
	In the halls his spirit lingers
	building strength, integrity,
	And those who come and go through them
	will find serenity.
	Even though the faces change, our spirit
	here remains
	because our memories always draw us home.
	In hearts and minds that grow
	all sons and daughters know
	we have more than a school - we have a home.
	In the name of Julius T. Wright,
	may our words and deed be such
	that grey and crimson spirit shall live on -
	UMS-WRIGHT.

	For the UMS-Wright Family to educate all students
