Preschool Weekly Update – week of 3/31

” I’m convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness, is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice.” – Cesar Chavez

Hello parents,

We have completed our month long study of desert life. Your child’s portfolio is going home today. Please take a moment to review some of their art work and projects. When we return on Tuesday, we will dive into the wonderful world of “Bees and Butterflies.” See the family newsletter going home today in your family envelope.

LENTEN JOURNEY: Our Lenten chart is showing some new color and filling up. We know that the preschoolers are seeing their progress. We have been asking, in prayer, for the Holy Spirit to help us make good choices during our time at Preschool.

The Celebration of the Arts, April 2-3 @ 3:00pm-6:00pm, in O’Brian Hall, will showcase artwork from all the students at SPN. Please take sometime to drop by and admire your children’s artwork along with the artwork from our very talented SPN student body.

Enjoy your 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
