Preschool Weekly Update – week of 12/11

“Breathe”

Dear preschool parents,

As I sat down to write this post I was reminded of a mindfulness tool we use in preschool, deep breaths.

Our week was filled with fun, tundra animal art projects, a trip to the Maker Space, (thank you Miss Kristen) and a beautiful school mass. Miss Rosie and I were so proud of how the children conducted themselves during mass. This week we will explore communities who live in cold climates.

Our Adopt a Family concludes on Monday 12/11. Thank you to those who have contributed to this worthwhile cause.

It is a tradition in preschool to celebrate the Christmas break with a Mac & Cheese lunch. This year our special lunch will be Wednesday, 12/20 at 11:00am. Miss Rosie and I will prepare and serve, Mac & Cheese, steamed broccoli florets and fruit. Your child can bring a lunch if they do not eat cheesy pasta.

Blessings, Ms. Grace and Miss Rosie

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."
— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022
"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"
— SPN Parent
"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
— SPN Parent since 2016
