Preschool Weekly Update

Lord, Lord, Open Unto Me

Open unto me, light for my darkness
Open unto me, courage for my fear
Open unto me, hope for my despair
Open unto me, peace for my turmoil
Open unto me, joy for my sorrow
Open unto me, strength for my weakness
Open unto me, wisdom for my confusion
Open unto me, forgiveness for my sins
Open unto me, tenderness for my toughness
Open unto me, love for my hates
Open unto me, Thy Self for myself
Lord, Lord, open unto me!

– Howard Thurman, from “Meditations of the Heart”

Dear preschool parents,

We had another fun week with our “Health and Fitness” theme. The preschoolers learned about healthy foods and the benefits to our bodies when we eat a “rainbow” of foods. They also learned how those healthy foods make for a healthy heart! We will continue this week with fitness.

Our Lenten season starts on March 2nd with Ash Wednesday. Preschoolers will start “A Stained Glass Window”, a lenten project in class emphasizing acts of kindness and good deeds. We will send a copy of this project home. As a family, you may want to discuss how acts of kindness and friendship can be shown not only at home but also while they are here at school. We are asking for your assistance in guiding your children this Lenten season. Help them learn the Church’s Lenten disciplines in age appropriate ways. Acts of kindness and good deeds are more appropriate than “giving up” something for Lent.

Please remember to register for our Spartan Virtual Auction!!

Have a safe and restful weekend!

Ms. Grace and Ms. Whitney
