Last Day Celebrations

One of our favorite traditions at SPCNS is the Last Day Celebration. For many, many years the 3-, 4-, and 5-year old classes have delighted their families with songs and dances in the Grassy Park (or the Gym); and the children who are bound for kindergarten walk through a flowered arch and receive a certificate to mark the end of their nursery school days.

This year, the church’s major construction project and the resultant indoor space and parking issues have necessitated that we make some changes to our usual celebration. The staff has been busy planning a special event for each age group which will signify both the closing of our school year together as well as the beginning of the children's next phase--be it moving on to a new school or simply heading into a summer vacation. Here is a brief description of your child's Last Day Celebration. Please note that school wide, these celebrations will be taking place across three different days (June 1-3), but each class will only have one special event according to their age group and their usual school day of the week.

Mrs. Hall’s and Mrs. Gianakas’s Tuesday/Thursday Three-year-olds: The children in these two classes will have their Last Day Celebration on Tuesday, June 1. Children will arrive and play as usual from 9:00 until 11:00 AM. At 11:00 we invite parents and siblings to join them for a picnic and a special story time, which will take place in the Grassy Park (weather permitting).

Mrs. Kozy’s Monday/Wednesday/Friday Three-year-olds: The children will have their Last Day Celebration on Wednesday, June 2. Children will arrive and play as usual from 9:00 until 11:00 AM.
