Preschool Weekly Update

Invite Us Deeper

Almighty and ever living God,
you invite us deeper into your world, your people, your Lent.
May this time be one of outward focus;
seeking you in those we often ignore.
Help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.
Give us hearts hungry to serve you
and those who need what we have to give.

Dear preschool parents,

This week has been a week of beginnings and endings. We began our Lenten journey as school with the all school Ash Wednesday mass. The children were great and it was a special moment for Ms. Whitney and myself. We were so proud of them. This week we also began our new theme “Deserts” for the month of March. We also said farewell to Ms. Whitney today. In our preschool yard Ms Whitney was blessed by Fr. Joseph, presented with a gift from the Preschool Parents, a rosary and a lovely song, “God be with you” sung by the preschool class.

Myself and the class, are so blessed to have Ms. Mariem, Mrs. Hall and Ms. Dottie who will be helping us through this transition period.

We started our Lenten Good Deeds project in class and I sent home a copy for each child. This is a great opportunity for your family to participate in the Lenten journey together.

A reminder that this coming week is our school accreditation visit. We will have a shorten week. Thursday 3/10 is a noon dismissal with no afternoon preschool and Friday 3/11 there is no school-no preschool.

Have a peaceful weekend, 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."
