Pray for kids, pray for teachers, coaches and administrators, pray specifically for groups of kids who you want to see transformed by the gospel (example: "Lord, I pray for the young men in this school who are growing up without a dad"; "God, would you bring peace, health and restoration to the students in this school suffering from anxiety or depression"; "Jesus, bring the gospel to kids wrestling with eating disorders"; "God, I pray that the players and coaches on the Girls JV soccer team would come to know and how much you love them"
