Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, March 4,2022

We would like to compliment all of the Kindergarten students for their participation and reverence at our first school wide (Ash Wednesday) mass. The Kindergarteners sat with their 8th grade buddies who were so helpful in showing the students proper church behavior. From now on, Kindergarten will go to weekly mass with Third Grade every Wednesday at 8:30AM.

We did not write our Lenten promises last week.We are in the process of teaching more about the Lenten Season with the class this week. We want them to know that Lent is the period of 40 days during which Christians remember the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus Christ. We will discuss the Lenten calendar, brainstorm ideas for Lenten promises and students will write their own Lenten promises this week.

Next week, Tuesday-Thursday the WCEA visiting team will be onsite for our accreditation. The scheduled minimum day for Thursday 3/10 will have NO SHARE AND CARE, dismissal is at 12:00 for all students (PS-8). Please be prompt for pick-up on that day!

The SuperKid this week is Anthony. Thanks to Makena for sharing her things.

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."
