Preschool Weekly Update

Lord on this Labor Day,
we thank You for the blessing of work.
We ask for strength to complete each day.
We ask for rest when we are weary.
We ask Your guidance
for everyone seeking employment,
and we ask that
You be with those whose faces
we might never see
but who work tirelessly each day
for the good of us all.
Amen.
from Our Sunday Visitor

Dear Preschool Parents,

It was so wonderful to see all of you last night! It has been a few years since we have gathered for Back to School Night and it felt fabulous.

This week we started out September theme, “Family and Pets” and we introduced the letter F, numbers 1 & 2, circle shape and our forest friend, Bunny. Bunny helps us learn how to be kind. We also read a reimagined version of “Little Red Riding Hood” Next week we will continue with family pets.

Reminder that picture day is September 9th is picture day. In the past preschoolers are the first to be photographed. Regular uniform is worn with a white shirt or blouse.

Have a great three day weekend!

Blessings, Ms. Grace and Ms. Hanen

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
