Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 3/17

God of love, you love each of us at every moment of our lives,
Give us confidence in that love, and help us to love as you do.
As we listen to the needs around us with our physical ears, open the ears of our hearts to receive and respond to those who come to us in their time of need.
In your all-loving name, we pray.  – Amen

Hello Parents,

This week our preschoolers worked on projects for the “Celebration of the Arts”. They created a self-portrait using Pablo Picasso’s cubism style and painted cards to be sold at the art event. Please mark your calendar for, The Celebration of Arts, on Wednesday, April 2nd and Thursday, April 3rd @ 3:00pm-6:30pm in O’Brien Hall.

Our desert adventures will take us to the Mojave Desert this coming week. We will study the animals and plants in this region.

OUR LENTEN JOURNEY: Our chart is starting to show a little more color. We have been praying for guidance to help us make better choices. We hope that your child’s chart at home is starting to fill up with color too.

Monday, March 17th, is St. Patrick’s Day. It is a free dress day with the colors green and white.

We hope all those attending the Auction have a great time! Keep a look out for our Preschool painting that is up for auction!! Go little Spartan’s!!

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
