A Note from Our Principal
As we enter the beautiful month of May, I am excited to share all the fun spring activities our preschoolers have been enjoying. From celebrating Week of the Young Child to releasing butterflies on Earth Day, our students have been very busy! We hope you enjoyed all the photos! Thank you parents for having your children participate in our Annual St. Jude’s Trike-A-Thon. The children had a blast sharing their decorated bikes/scooters. We raised $2,400! This month, we will be celebrating our amazing teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, by taking them camping. Be on the look out for all the activities and treats we have planned for our wonderful teachers. While we enjoy the Spring weather, we are continuing our gardening projects, and learning more about nature and ways to be environmentally-friendly.
Sincerely,
Karina Medina
Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 8-12. This is a wonderful time to express our gratitude to our amazing teachers who work tirelessly to educate and care for our students each and every day. They are the heart and soul of our preschool, and we are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented team. This year we have a camping theme and we are taking them to Camp Merryhill! We would love to have our families join the fun!
Monday- Welcome to Camp Merryhill-Have your child bring in an Appreciation card for their teacher. We would love to see their drawings.
Tuesday- Let’s get up early and go Hiking- Teachers will need a snack up the hill. Please bring in a little treat for your teacher. Just a friendly reminder, we are nut free!
Wednesday-We made it to the top of the hill. We love looking out to all the flowers and plants. Bring in a flower or plant for your teacher.
Thursday- The mosquitos are getting the teachers ankles, please bring in a pair of crazy socks!
Friday- The teachers made it through a week of camping. Let’s put together a survival kit for their next trip.
Picture Day
It’s that time of year, picture day is here! Please make sure you turn in your Lifetouch form to choose your preference background for your child’s photo. Graduating Pre-K students will be provided with a cap and gown as they will take both individual and graduation photo! Please take a peek at your child’s scheduled day:
Monday-May 8th- Infants, Toddlers, Beginners and sibling photos

child and friends. We will have appetizers and beverages for all who attend. Come join the fun on May 12th from 4:00 to 5:30pm!
Links 2 Home Response Time
We are pleased to hear that many of you have been enjoying the ability to communicate directly with your child’s teacher through the direct message function of our Links 2 Home app. While our teachers strive to respond to messages as quickly as possible, please keep in mind that they are primarily focused on caring for and educating their students during school hours. Teachers will make every effort to respond as soon as they are able. As always, for urgent or time-sensitive matters, please call us at 916-684-4044.
Did you Know???
Mirrors are a great way for children to learn. Infants begin to recognize expressions and track images. Our toddlers use mirrors to build their self-concept by recognizing themselves. Older preschool students learn to notice their unique characteristics, and improve their hand-eye coordination by creating self-portraits!
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. In celebration, we will be exploring the culture and traditions of the AAPI community by reading, “My Bindi”, creating origami and a passport.
