Dear SPC Families,

I want to wish you and all your families a very blessed Easter and safe travels! Today our students gathered in their prayer buddy teams to prepare blankets for those in our community that are in need of comfort during difficult times. These blankets were then blessed at our Holy Thursday Prayer Service!  Here are some photos from this special day together.

EF at Home: Cooking Up an EF-Friendly Meal
While cooking can be fun, it can also be a taxing task that relies heavily on executive function. Cooking is a great opportunity to get kids involved in household chores that build EF strategies.

Research shows that the benefits of chores at home are numerous. A new study published by researchers at La Trobe University demonstrated that children who engage regularly in age-appropriate chores showed a stronger ability to plan, self-regulate, switch between tasks, and remember instructions.
