Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

I hope this email finds you well and you are enjoying this beautiful (and cool!) morning. I’m hoping this was the last heat wave of the year, but on the bright side, it was nice to get one more go with the kiddie pool and sprinklers yesterday 🙂 

We have a pretty standard week coming up with the exception of an Art Docent lesson on Monday and our 1:1 meetings on Tuesday. For Art, please have a medium sized pumpkin (white is preferred but orange will work too), acrylic paint and brushes so that your child can participate. 

Thank you all for your continued support and dedication. It truly takes a village for our students to learn the way they are right now! Take care and stay well.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Costy

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
