Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 1/13

“Heavenly Father, we lift up those who are currently in harm’s way, asking for your divine protection and guidance. Surround them with your loving embrace, shield them from danger, and grant them strength and courage to face whatever challenges they may encounter. May your angels watch over them, and lead them to safety. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”.

Dear Preschool Families,

This morning, during prayer we had a quiet moment for those who have been impacted by the horrific firestorms in Southern California. We thanked all the men and women who are risking their lives to bring an end to the fires.

Our class had an earthquake drill this morning. We did our “duck and cover” drill and then watched a Mystery Science video where Doug explained why the earth randomly moves. Your child’s play this weekend may have pretend “earthquake” drills in it and this is normal.

We completed the first week of “Safari on the Go”. We learned about the different tools you may need for a safari trip and animal habitat conservation. This coming week we will be exploring different animals and their habitats.

On Wednesday, January 15th is “Come and Play with TK & K”. Please see the school newsletter for registration. This is a great opportunity for parents and children to see the classroom and meet the teachers.

REMINDER: Friday, January 17th is a staff workday and there is no school for the children. Also, Monday, January 20th is a school holiday.

Have a restful weekend.

Peace, Ms. Grace and Miss Rosie

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
