📚🧸🖍️ School may be out for the summer, but the work continues as our teachers and staff clean classrooms, organize materials, and prepare for summer camps!

Staff Meeting highlights included a visit from Father Tom, who thanked everyone for a wonderful year and shared updates about our upcoming renovation project — stay tuned for a big announcement! Patricia Stevens also joined us to discuss upcoming safety enhancements, including campus rekeying and updated employee and volunteer keys, fobs, and restricted-access procedures. 🔐

The Diocese of Raleigh recognized five of our teachers celebrating 5-, 10-, and 15-year service anniversaries with certificates of appreciation. 🎉👏 We congratulate and thank them for their dedication and years of service.

We are grateful for all our experienced and caring preschool staff, for who they are, and for the tradition of excellence they have built and continue to carry forward for future generations. Many of our teachers first joined the preschool when their own children attended SRCP and SRCS. Some retired teachers, even after more than 30 years of service, still return as substitute teachers! 🍎

🎓 Congratulations to our graduating Otters & Eagles! 🦦🦅
They are off and running into a bright future! 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓✨

This year, our preschoolers mastered their ABCs & 123s, built meaningful friendships, grew in confidence and independence, and learned about the love of Jesus. 💚

Now they are ready to spread their wings and fly into a future full of endless possibilities! We are so proud of each and every one of you, and we can’t wait to see all you accomplish in kindergarten and beyond. 🌟

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful families for partnering with SRCS in educating your preschoolers. We are truly blessed by your support, encouragement, and trust throughout this journey! 💛

We fondly say farewell to the fifteen students (some not pictured) who began with us in Puppy Classes and continued their journey through the 3s and Pre-K 4s. 💚💛💚

We are grateful to have been part of their journey and wish them all the best in their next adventure! 🎓✨

End-of-Year Picnic with the Puppies! ☀️🐶

What a beautiful way to celebrate the end of an incredible school year! With perfect weather for an outdoor morning picnic, our class enjoyed delicious treats, cheerful chit chat, and lots of fun in the sun alongside families and friends.

The Puppies have made great strides socially, emotionally, and academically, and are more than ready to rise into the 3s program this fall — we can’t wait to see all they continue to achieve!

A special thank you to all the parents who joined us for this wonderful celebration. Dads joined in the fun too, so be on the lookout for those sweet father/child photos coming in June! 📸💛💚💛
