Preschool Weekly Update – week of 4/8

“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” – Jacques Cousteau

Hello Preschool Families,

Welcome back! Miss Rosie and I hope you all had a lovely Easter break. We start back tomorrow, April 8th. Our April exploration will be “Under – the -Sea.” The children will also be learning the “Hail Mary” prayer in preparation of the May Crowning. We are excited to get started.

We have only 2 months left until the end of school! I have had a few families ask about our end of year celebration plans. I am happy to say that our dates have been cleared and are as follows. The “Preschool End of Year Celebration,” will be on Monday, June 3rd at 9:30am. All parents are invited to attend. Our pizza lunch will be on Wednesday, June 5th.

Here are a few reminders for tomorrow, bring your child’s nap roll/blanket, a full water bottle, snack (packed in a separate container) and lunch. Also, with the weather changing to sunny and warmer, please apply sunscreen on your child’s face, neck and ears before coming to school. We will reapply sunscreen as needed. Thank you!

I will be extending my Easter break due to an eye infection and will be returning to the classroom on Thursday, April 11th. I will be checking my emails throughout the day if you should have any questions or concerns.

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
