Preschool Weekly Update

God of Love,
Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us.
He is a sign of your love.
Help us walk in that love during the weeks of Advent,
As we wait and prepare for his coming.
We pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior.

This past week we celebrated the first week of Advent by setting up our classroom Creche, Advent Wreath and our Christmas tree. The children made ornaments for the tree, worked on the letter J for Jesus and made cards for the Meals on Wheels program. Wow we were busy!

With the Christmas Concert being virtual, the preschoolers will be able to join in on the fun. We will be practicing a song and filming it this week! The children will continue to learn about Advent and St. Nicholas.

The children have been enjoying the new play structure, and they have done a great job remembering the safety rules!

REMINDER: Please check your child’s/children’s underwear drawer for any SPN underwear and return them, please. Thank you ๐Ÿ˜‰

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."
โ€” 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"
โ€” 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 โ€˜bubble,โ€™ and that is what SPN demonstrates and providesโ€“ opportunity to explore a bigger community."
โ€” SPN Parent since 2016
