Preschool Weekly Update

Come, My Light

Come, my Light,
and illumine my darkness.
Come, my Life,
and revive me from death.
Come, my Physician,
and heal my wounds.
Come, Flame of divine love,
and burn up the thorns of my sins,
kindling my heart
with the flame of thy love.

– Dimitrii of Rostov

Dear Preschool Parents,

We have enjoyed learning about the desert’s plants, animals and climate this month. I hope you have enjoyed some of the projects the children have brought home. This coming week we will start our month long study of “Bees and Butterflies.” As part of our Lenten journey we will be learning about the Seder Meal. We will participate in a Seder (virtually) on Holy Thursday. Please continue to reflect on and collect for Rice Bowls! Please turn them in by April 12th.

With our new mask policy our preschoolers have enjoyed the freedom to wear a mask or not. Please remind your preschooler/s that they still need to keep their hands to themselves, do not touch others on the mouth and to not use spitting like sounds or gestures. We want to keep everyone safe.

****New Preschool Teacher Update. We are focusing on hiring a new preschool teacher for the 2022-23 school year. We have scheduled our wonderful Ms. Mariem, Mrs. Hall and Ms. Dottie to help in the classroom through the end of this school year. This ensures a good experience for all the preschoolers.

Have a restful weekend!

Peace, 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."
— SPN Parent since 2016
