We had a very special surprise visit this weekend from Ms. Jennifer! We LOVE this school and all the amazing teachers and staff so much! Thank you for making this little man feel so loved! I can't believe he is off to kinder! 😭 Thankfully we are just moving down the hall and can still get the best hugs from Ms. Jennifer!
Julie Buchanan has been the driving force and backbone of our amazing pre-school Sunshine & Rainbows ELC here at our parish, for 35(!!) years.

After so many years of touching lives and hearts, Julie retired this past September. Her dedication, support, and generosity created a strong foundation that has been instrumental in the school's success and we want to offer her a HUGE thank you for all she has done.

Please help us show our gratitude and offer a note of thanksgiving with well-wishes.

Note: Julie will continue in her role as Director of Children/Youth Faith Formation so she will still be around!

Thank you, Julie, we are grateful and blessed by YOU
Bennet is very excited about school starting in September and cannot wait to be in the fours! We love Sunshine and Rainbows and pray for all our teachers and staff daily! Thank you for all the precautions and changes you have undergone to keep our babies safe!
Sunshine & Rainbows ELC is our amazing preschool program!
Sunshine & Rainbows ELC is our phenomenal preschool and this week they held graduations. It was fun to see the smiling faces of happy children and teachers!!
Over this extended period my family has enjoyed spending time creating sidewalk art, making sun catchers with pony beads, painting rocks, my middle child has been painting, and all my kids have been having fun with me in the kitchen.
Buy a treat for your sweeties and support our pre-school, Sunshine & Rainbows ELC, at the same time.

That's a win-win! 😃

The twos class welcomed October with Acorn Investigations! They went on an acorn hunt, compared and contrasted their finds, and made handprint acorns. “Just like a little acorn that grows to be a tree, I’m growing every day and learning to be me!”

Our Three's classes had a special day to celebrate Transportation week. They had the opportunity to climb inside and explore some buses, golf carts, and a tractor. They even meet some firemen and saw their big fire engine. These classes also had some special outdoor time to make their own boats, drive on a special track, and pull stuffed animals in wagons! This was a very fun day for all!

Last month was our Open House and our sweet kids are still talking about how much fun it was to show special family members their classroom and special artwork!

We love the support and prayers we get from our priests. Father Ricardo was able to come to bless our classrooms before Palm Sunday and also help in our prayer service this month.

We love all these ideas to love and connect with your child! ❤️

🎶 Zoom, zoom, zoom, we're going to the moon! 🎶

Our new playground is taking shape!

We hope our NEW PLAYGROUND will be ready for the children when we return to school. Licensing has to inspect it first, so we will keep you posted. We know that the children can't wait to explore the new structure.

Trunk or Treat sponsored by the Religious Ed department is this Saturday. It will be in the South Parking Lot, so you will enter through the North church entrance. The South Entrances may be closed.

Ms. Suzanne and Ms. Emily took their Flamingo class on an acorn hunt. They then compared the various characteristics of their collection. Next, they used 3 of the acorns to paint part of the art project for the day: a handprint acorn. What a great way to learn!

Some preschoolers will give you a play-by-play of every second of their day. However, as you might have discovered, many times when you ask a preschooler how his/her day was, you won't get much of an answer. Here are some ways to encourage a connection after school!

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” — FRED ROGERS

Ms. Julie and her Flamingos made apple trees this week and we just love all the smiles and giggles that were coming from her room! 🍎🍏🍎
