The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment refers to the first of several pronouncements in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, stating that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...." Together with the Free Exercise Clause, ("...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"), these two clauses make up what are commonly known as the "religion clauses" of the First Amendment.
The above paragraph is from Wikipedia.

Absolutely not. What's banned is teachers or any other representative of the school leading or encouraging prayer, as that is seen as an endorsement. Kids can pray all they want in school.
