Dear SRPS families,
Thank you to all of you who joined us for our Thanksgiving Feast! We especially want to thank all of our volunteers, as we would not be able to pull off this event with out you! It was great to see our teachers and students getting ready for this special event. Everyone looked so happy and thankful to be part of our SRPS family.
Can you believe December is already here? Time sure flies when you are having fun, and I can't tell you how much fun we have everyday here at SRPS.
We have many events and activities planned for these three weeks before our winter break. As the Holiday rush is upon us, please do not forget to enjoy this special season with your family, and take time to relax and make memories. These are the precious little moments that will last you and your children a life time.
Sincerely,
Magda Taglienti

Gardening offers an array of opportunities for our young students to continue growing in the many different areas of development such as
physical, social, and emotional
. They become active participants when working on preparing the soil, planting their seeds, and observing their plants growing and blooming.
In the garden, our students experience situations in which taking turns, sharing, and teamwork is necessary. They d
evelop a sense of responsibility when they help their teachers mix the composting materials, plow the soil, and water the plants.
We are so grateful to provide our little ones with the opportunity of an interactive environment in which they are able to observe, discover, experiment, nurture, and learn.
Also, do not forget, we are
composting
! Please continue to send in materials for our garden through spring break in March.
