Second Grade Update – Merry Christmas!

Dear Second Grade Families, 

Happy Friday! We made it to Christmas break!

This week, we experienced many joys! – decorating gingerbread houses and our Christmas party today were just a couple! Thank you to our volunteers, Mrs. Bustos, Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Lobo, and Mr. Howard for leading the children in a sweet angel craft for your tree, a fun memory game, and providing some delicious treats! Thank you to all who donated goodies, supplies, and/or time for these events! I am so grateful for our volunteers! 🙂

Oratorical Fest
This is the one important update I’ll give before break – Information about the Oratorical Fest was sent home last Friday in your child’s backpack. Please read through it now because I will need a copy of your child’s selection by Monday, January 8th. I don’t want anyone to be surprised or unprepared. Thank you!

Our normal weekly update will be sent the weekend before we return to school. 🙂 In the meantime, we wish you a restful break, full of peace as we end our Advent season and welcome Jesus on Christmas! Sending you and your families joy and love for the New Year as well!

Warmly,
Catherine

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
