Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 12/16

O God, As we faithfully await the birth of your son, Jesus, Let us be glad and rejoice. In our families and our schools and in our lives, Help us to share the joy of Christ’s love with others. Amen

Dear preschool families,

We have enjoyed this months winter theme curriculum. Our classroom smelled like rosemary on Tuesday with the beautiful wreaths the children made in the Maker Space. Thank you Miss Kristen for leading us in this project. On Wednesday our classroom was filled with the scent of baked cookies, yum! Your children were reverent and respectful during our all school mass.

This coming week is busy with special events. We will watch the all school concert rehearsal. We have recorded our musical video and sent it to the broadcasting class. This short video is a preschool tradition. Our Christmas Mac and Cheese lunch will be on Thursday. See the flyer in your family envelope for details.

When we return from our Christmas break we will have a “No nut butter” policy. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Have a great 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."
— SPN Parent since 2016
