Preschool Weekly Update

Third Week of Advent
Lord God, may we, your people, who look forward to the birthday of Christ experience the joy of salvation and celebrate that feast with love and thanksgiving. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Dear parents,

We are heading into the last week of school before our Christmas break! The children have been very busy with fun projects to honor this time of year.

On Wednesday, December 15th, we will participate in Pajama-Spirit Day. Please dress your child/children in layers to stay warm. Our Covid-19 protocol requires us to keep the windows/door open for ventilation. We do run the heater but it can get a bit chilly. On Thursday, December 16th, you will receive a link to the Virtual Christmas Concert. On Friday, December 17th the children can free dress in green, red or white.

As a tradition in preschool, Ms, Whitney and I host a Christmas lunch for the preschoolers. We will serve Macaroni and Cheese, Steamed Broccoli, Fruit Cup and a holiday cookie. We will start lunch a little early so we are done by noon pick-up. Your child can bring a lunch if they prefer.

During the Christmas break, it is helpful to keep the children on a regular food and rest schedule. With parties and family visits, your little ones can better regulate their behavior if they eat and rest close to the times at school. We have a morning snack 9:30am, lunch at 11:30am, and quiet time and afternoon snack at 2:30pm. We hope this helps.

Blessings, Ms. Whitney and Ms. Grace

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."
