Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 12/9 – Saint Philip Neri Catholic School

“Dear Jesus, you entered our world on Christmas as the Prince of Peace. This Advent, as we strive to become the-best-version-of-ourselves, fill us with a deep and abiding peace” Amen

Hello preschool families,

Wow! What an interesting week. Your children did a great job during our “live” tsunami drill and confidently evacuated to the 2nd floor library. Today we were blessed with the “Friday Adoration” which gave us all a time to reflect and quietly be in the presence of God. We ended our day with the story of St. Nicholas and found a treat in our shoes after rest time!

This coming week we will continue our exploration of indoor and outdoor winter sights and sounds. The preschoolers have a class in the Maker Space and will attend, All School Mass, on Monday.

It is a tradition in the Preschool that the teachers host a “Mac and Cheese” lunch celebration. This year we are hosting this event on Dec. 19th during our regular scheduled lunch period. A flyer will go out in next week with details.

We are happy to announce that when we return from our Christmas break, Quinn and Santi will be joining our class!

Peace,

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
