January 2008
Welcome to the first edition of the 2008 AIS Elementary newsletter!
We are having an exciting and challenging year!
Our Elementary theme words for the year are:
Tenderheart / Compassion
The verse for our theme is from Ephesians chapter 4 verse 32:
"Be kind to each other, tenderhearted and compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
Our slogan from the verse: "Be kind and compassionate"

Jesus taught us to pray...
Our Papa in heaven,
You are so good and very cool.
Help us show others that you love them,
and help us listen to you.
Give us what we need today.
Forgive us for our mistakes and selfishness
as we forgive others who hurt us.
Keep us from trouble
and protect us from danger.
Thank you!
