Students at a public elementary school in Moose Jaw, Sask., now start the day with a quiet moment of reflection, rather than the Lord's Prayer.

The change was nearly a year in the making.

Dusti Hennenfent first wrote to the principal of her children's school last October, asking Lindale Elementary School to drop the prayer and do something more inclusive.

She found out she'd been successful on Tuesday when her kids brought home the school newsletter.

"I thought it was terrific," Hennenfent said.

"I thought that this is something that is great for every student there at that school."

Hennenfent says during the past year, she's had a lot of support as well as negative feedback, but she says it was worth it to make this change.

"There will never be another child at that school who has to get up and leave their classroom every day. There's never going to be another child that has to every day identify themselves as a different religion and feel different, or weird, or stand out," Hennenfent said.
