Weekly Update
May 26 – May 29, 2026 “PreK Wrap-Up”
It is very bittersweet to be sharing the last and final weekly update of the school year. I want to say thank you for sharing your child with me this year! All of the students brought so much joy, laughter, and fun to our classroom and I will miss them as we head into summer. We are very blessed to live in a community that has such great schooling options and I am so thankful that you have chosen to send your child to St. Paul this year. For those students staying at St. Paul next year, I will still see you in Kindergarten as we pass by each other in the hallway! For those that are going to school elsewhere, please know that you can always call St. Paul home and that Jesus is with you wherever you go! I pray you all have a wonderful summer and enjoy some great family time and relaxation.
This week we enjoyed our field trip to Roden’s Farm. It was a great experience seeing the cows and feeding the baby calves. We worked on our final letter Ii and enjoyed making homemade ice cream. Our Bible lessons were about the Good Samaritan and about Jesus healing a man with leprosy.
Next week we will wrap up a few items we have been working on this year. We will have our class ice cream parties on Thursday and hopefully, weather permitting, spend some extra time outside.
If you haven’t returned your library book, please make sure to send that back on Tuesday. Also note that I will not be sending home chapel envelopes for our offering next week.
Our PreK closing service will be held on Friday, May 29. The AM class will have their service at 8:30 and the PM class will have their service at 10:00. All parents are encouraged to attend as this is a special celebration in which the students will have some songs to sing for you and you will have the opportunity to come up front in church to take your child’s photo. At the end of the service, you will receive your child’s binder which will be filled with different things from the year, along with their final progress report. Please note we do not have a regular school day this day. The closing services will last about 45 minutes and your child will be excused after that. If you need to utilize extended care, please let me Mrs. Jess know.
When you bring your child to school that day, please bring them to our classroom without their backpack or folder. Parents and families will return to find a seat in church. After the service you can come up front to take a class photo and then get your child’s binder in the gathering hall before heading out. The AM class can arrive between 8:00-8:15 and the PM class can arrive between 9:40-9:50. If you have any questions about this day, please let me know.
