Word of the Month (for October): COMPASSION
During the month of October we will be talking about COMPASSION.
What does it mean to show compassion? Maybe helping someone in need, or maybe giving someone a pat on the back when they're having a bad day.
What are some ways you can show compassion? When has someone showed compassion to you?
Join us as we learn about COMPASSION by reading Most People by Michael Leannah & Jennifer E. Morris.
Check out our Monthly Book! Thank you to Michael Leannah, J. E. Morris and Tilbury House Publishers for allowing us to share this message with our families!
