Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 2/5

Find the good. It is all around you. Find it. Showcase it and you will start believing in it. – Jesse Owens

Dear Parents,

What a great week celebrating SPN and Catholic education. Miss Rosie and I thank you for the darling picture collage of the children. The teacher/staff brunch on Friday was also an extra special treat. We truly felt appreciated.

February is a short but busy month! We will start our Global passport curriculum this week. Our first week’s lessons will be about preparing for travel. This is also Black History Month. We have age appropriate stories and short videos that highlight Black heroes who have made positive impacts in science, music, art, literature, etc.

Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on Tuesday the 13th. Your child can bring cards or a small goodie bag to share with their class. Please no candy or sweets. Please have your child write their name on the cards.

Yee-haw!!! Next Friday, February 9 is a Wild West Free Dress Day as a kick-off for our Spartan Stampede Annual Auction!  Come to school in your best wild-west attire!  Here is the link to the event site for parents to purchase their tickets:  SPARTAN STAMPEDE!!!

See you soon!

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
