Preschool Weekly Update- week of 1/30

“Whenever we do something together, something good, something beautiful, everyone changes. All of us change in some way and this does us good.”

— Pope Francis

Dear Preschool Families,

What a beautiful week! We were all so happy to be back. The children picked up right where we left off with our “Baby Animals” curriculum and enjoyed the week’s projects.

This Sunday, January 29th at 9:00am Please join us for Mass celebrating the start of Catholic School Week. Our Preschool “Open House” will be presented in the Maker Space located in the Early Elementary yard. We have beautiful artwork, projects and fabulous photos of the kids working and playing! We also have the preschool auction art piece for viewing. This is also a good time to visit your child’s TK-K classroom. Visiting next year’s classroom helps the children understand and process the transition.

Please make sure you have applied and filled out the appropriate application for next year. This time of year is busy with the application process and assessments. Please contact Mrs. Schmitz if you have questions.

Professional Development Project: As part of my professional development, I have been given permission by Peralta Community College, to use our classroom as a lab practicum. I have a release form for parents to sign with more information. Thank you for your support.

See you on Sunday!!

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
