Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 9/30

Autumn Months

Remind us that it is You who give us the breath of life. May the harvest from the fields remind us of the abundance we have been given and bounty we are to share with others. May the dying of summer’s spirit remind us of your great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.

Happy Autumn!

We have completed our month long study of “Friends and Feelings”. Some of the children’s classwork from this month will be shared with you during your child’s parent/teacher conference.

Our new month’s theme is “Orchard Harvest”. You will find the family newsletter for this month’s featured concepts in your family envelope.

Friday, October 4th is the Feast of St. Francis. Preschoolers should bring a picture of their family pet or their favorite animal stuffy to be blessed. Miss Rosie and I will meet you at assembly, with our roster, to check in the children. We will walk into the classroom together after the blessing.

Have a restful 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
