Preschool Weekly Update-week of 10/16

1 Timothy 1:16 Leads Us to Praise GodLet’s praise God for His patience towards us. Each of our lives display a picture of God’s perfect patience.

Hello parents,

This month’s “virtue” is patience. Our forrest friend, Bear, is helping us understand how adults and children work hard everyday to have patience.

We will continue our “Seasons and Weather” lessons this week. On Friday, Miss Kristen will have a project for the preschoolers in the Maker Space. We are so lucky to have Miss Kristen and her beautiful new space.

Halloween Parade: Our all school Halloween Parade is Tuesday, October 31st. Each preschooler must have a parent or guardian walk with them in the parade. The parade starts at 8:00am and will pick up the preschoolers in front of our porch. The children walk through the neighborhood which takes about 20 minutes and ends in front of the preschool.

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
