Lastly, here is a message from Mr. Q about our upcoming Spring Concert:

The concert is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8th. Students should arrive at their homerooms between 6:40 and 6:50 p.m. so we can prepare them for the performance. The doors to the church will open at 6:40 p.m. for seating.
The dress code for students for the concert is the same as in previous years, defined as “Nice Free Dress” in the student handbook. Basically, dressed up nicely as they would for attending church or in lieu of nicer clothes, the school uniform works as well. (The 5th grade class will be wearing green particularly, but no other classes have a special dress code)
Students will not be released to go home until after the All-School song and the Spring Concert is complete. It will run for about one hour.
The theme of our concert this year is “A Celebration of Planet Earth.”

Thank you, and I hope to have a fun and joyful concert!-Mr. Q.

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."
