Dear Preschool Families,

The weeks after Easter always seem to go quickly. Perhaps this is because our school year is winding down. Although the actual date of Easter has passed, the season continues until Pentecost. In the air at preschool, I certainly still feel hope, renewal, and new life all around! 

As we embark upon the final month of school, it is a time for farewells, but also a time to celebrate how much our children have grown. Of course, they have grown physically, but in so many more ways as well. Our main goal has been to support them in growing in their love of God, of others, and of the world around them. In doing so, we hope that they have made new friendships, have expanded their curiosity, and have found fun in learning about numerous new things! 

You can feel the fever of Spring in the school hallways and I am sure that the remaining few weeks of school will continue with feverish fun in many ways! As the weather warms up, many of our classes have taken advantage of the sunshine and have had lunch outside, done some planting, or gone on a nature walk. Many of our classes have completed activities related to Earth Day, particularly in learning how to recycle, how to keep our water/air clean, and how not to waste the resources that we have. As with other life lessons, the sooner we begin teaching our children, the more likely the lessons are to carry over into adulthood. 

As always, we are so grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with you to teach these lessons. Your support and partnership enable us to form our preschool into a true family and to have a successful year!

With Joy,
