Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, May 13,2022

We would like to call your attention to a special ceremony which takes place at the end of each school year honoring our eighth grade graduates.

The Ribbon Ceremony will take place on Tuesday, May 31st at 1PM. Traditionally, the 8th Grade class and Kindergarten are buddies and spend time together throughout the year on special days and at All School Masses. This special ceremony is our way of sending off our 8th Graders. Parents of Kindergarten students are invited to this event. It will be held at the Church. You will not be able to sit with your child as they will be in a separate area for the ceremony and will return to the classroom immediately following the ceremony. Pews will be marked off for you to sit in, please follow church signage.

Samantha R. is our SuperKid next week. Thanks to Rory for sharing his 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."
