Preschool Weekly Update-Week of 10/31

Dear Preschool Families,

We pray that everyone is on the mend and feeling better. Thank you for following our school protocols for illnesses. There are a few viruses going around and we want to keep everyone safe and healthy. We look forward to seeing all the preschoolers on Monday.

We have completed our month long study of farm life, and we are excited to start November’s theme of “Community Helpers.” This month we will learn about and honor those in our community who help us everyday. We will focus our mealtime prayer on those who help provide our food. Our academics will focus on the letters, Jj, Dd, and Uu, triangles, and the numbers 5 and 6.

On Tuesday November 1st, preschoolers will attend their first all school mass. We will watch the mass from the annex room and come out for a communion blessing. We do bring coloring books and crayons to help the children stay busy. Please speak to your child about appropriate church behavior. Thank you!

On Halloween we will meet in front of the preschool at 8:00am. Please keep your child with you and we ask that they are not running up and down the side walk. After the parade, please stay for a brief song the children will preform.

See you soon.

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."
