PTF President
Wow! Another school year here at AOA. This year brings many changes in my life. #1: My baby startedkindergarten this year. If you see me crying, you'll knowwhy. #2: My two older children are playing sports here.#3: We're moving. I have a lot on my plate right now, butGod is so good and He's carrying me through thisseason. Philippians 4:7 comes to mind, "And the peaceof God, which surpasses all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." What ablessing for my children to be educated here, but moreimportantly, what a comfort for me to know the teacherscare about my children's salvation. Isn't that the mostimportant thing? "Let us hear the conclusion of thewhole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments;for this is the whole duty of man," Ecclesiastes 12:13and Matthew 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if heshall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Myfamily is blessed to be here, and we hope you feel thesame way too. If you need anything, please let me or someone on the PTF Board know. We are here to serveyou!
In His Name,Caroline Oleinik
