Friendly greetings

[notme]

Salam alaikum

I've started a thing with my class of first grade students.  Each day I put up my lesson slides before the start of class, and on the first one I've included a cute clip art and a warm greeting such as "I'm glad you're here."

But I've only been doing this for a week and I'm already running out of ideas.  

What are some things that an adult might say, that would start a child's day off on a positive note? 

It's public school, so no overtly religious sayings allowed, and they're small children so short is best.
