Preschool Weekly Update-week of 10/23

Give us grace to love it as you do. Give us courage to give ourselves, as you do, for the good of all people and all of your creation. Strengthen us to stand, as you do, with the vulnerable poor. Give us wisdom to know when we have enough, and the voice to say “enough” to all that harms creation and hurts the poorest.

Dear preschool parents,

We are in our last week of “Seasons and Weather.” We hope you have enjoyed some of the projects that have gone home. This week will be all about storms! The children have enjoyed the science videos and have some very creative ideas about why the seasons change.

Halloween update: Preschool/Share & Care will be open regular hours on Halloween. If your child is staying for a full day, please pack comfy clothing so they can change out of their costumes. We want the costumes to be in good shape for trick or treat time.

Please take sometime this weekend to discuss the importance of following the play structure rules and keeping our hands and body to ourselves. Miss Rosie and I have noticed an up-tick of disregarding these rules. We have cut one recess on the play structure and replaced it with play stations in our little yard. Thank you for your support.

Have a restful weekend.

Blessings, 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
