Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 11/11

Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.

Hello preschool parents,

Our preschool’s service learning project was announced at the morning assembly. The “Socks for Veterans” wagon is in the main school lobby. We will be collecting NEW socks for women and men who have served in our country. The preschoolers watched a video explaining why and who we honor on Veteran’s Day.

We had a fun week learning the different modes of transportation this week and will continue our “On the Go” projects this coming week.

Our preschool class is at 50% for the Annual Fund Drive. Although this fundraiser is voluntary if we have 100% participation the preschool class will earn a pizza party and free dress! Please consider asking family or friends to donate. Here is the link: onecau.se/spartanfund Thank you!

Enjoy the three day 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."
