A letter from Valley Catholic Early Learning School Principal Amber Ploussard
Dear VCELS Families,
March was a wonderful month here on the Valley Catholic campus. A special highlight last month was celebrating the 140th anniversary of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon. One way we honored the Sisters was by inviting them to a tea party hosted by our preschoolers. Our students sang songs, prayed, and spent time chatting away with so many of our amazing Sisters while drinking tea (apple juice) and having some sweet treats. This wonderful event was cherished by everyone. During the SSMO Heritage Month we also honored the Sisters at an all-campus Mass.
During this Easter season, we are reminded of the joy that comes from kindness, compassion, and doing small acts for others. It is a special time to reflect on the love Jesus has for us, and the message of hope and grace he brings to our lives.
In our classrooms, we will continue to encourage the children to share, help one another, and spread joy in simple but meaningful ways. These small acts of love truly make a big difference.
As we enter spring, we can’t help but get excited for our school age summer camp program, which is just a few months away! Information and sign-ups are available on the VCELS website and in the ELS main lobby. Students can sign up for just a few weeks, or all eleven, but don’t wait, spots fill up quickly. We can’t wait to enjoy the summer months with our school age students through water play, field trips, and engaging and exciting STEM activities.
Thank you for your continued partnership, support, and the joy you bring to our preschool each day. We are grateful to grow and learn alongside your children.
In Christ,
Amber Ploussard
