Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 11/7

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.”
– Melody Beattie

Dear Preschool Famaliies,

Thank you for making my birthday so special. I loved the butterfly garland the children made and the generous gift card. Sharing a birthday celebration with 3 and 4 year olds is a special gift in itself. Their happiness and love for the birthday recipient is straight from the heart. It was a special day.

The preschoolers attended their first All School Mass and First Friday Adoration. Adoration is a time when Jesus is on display in the monstrance on the altar. It is a time for reverence and connecting with our Lord. The preschoolers did so well and received compliments from other teachers and staff. I would like to thank Miss Kristen and Mr Croft for joining us at the mass.

This week we will continue to explore our community helpers. We will also watch an age appropriate video on Veteran’s Day and why we celebrate.

We have had a few preschoolers out recovering from a cold virus and we pray that everyone is well and will be back on Monday.

Have a restful weekend!

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."
