Spring Nature Hunt
It was a beautiful spring day, and the preschool children at Cedar Hill Prep School took the opportunity to enjoy a Spring Scavenger Hunt on the sprawling grounds of their school. After discussing the characteristics of spring, the children were eager to search for them. We spotted the grass turning green, buds growing on the trees, worms slithering on the ground, yellow flowers blooming, and, in the distance, we heard the chirping of birds. Everyone had a great time searching for signs of spring!
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Study
The preschoolers began a new study called “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.” They learned that we should take care of our Earth every day, not just on Earth Day! We read about different ways to keep our Earth clean, such as planting flowers, turning off the water when brushing teeth, and putting trash in the garbage. These are just a few ways the children can help keep the Earth clean and happy. Each week, we continued our discussions and investigations about recycling, reducing, and reusing. We sorted pictures of glass, aluminum, plastic, and paper. For a craft, the children created their own recycling truck using colored paper shapes and crumpled tissue paper to represent the items in the truck.
Our Earth
Happy Earth Day! Preschoolers at Cedar Hill Prep School learned about reducing, reusing, and recycling. They also learned that we should take care of our Earth every day, not just on Earth Day! We read about different ways to keep our Earth clean, like planting flowers, turning off the water when brushing teeth, and putting trash in the garbage. These are just a few ways the children are helping to keep the Earth clean and happy. Parents were asked to bring in “garbage,” as the children called it. Using these materials, we recycled and reused them to make something that resembled a train. The children were so proud of their creation when they finished.
Easter Egg Hunt
The preschool classes participated in an Easter Egg Hunt. The children were so excited to search for as many eggs as they could find. There were blue, yellow, purple, green, and even striped eggs. Some of the eggs contained an Easter stamp. As the children searched for the eggs, they were concerned that all their friends found some eggs too.

Exploring Animal Affection
To commemorate Pet Week, our Preschool through Kindergarten classes embarked on an exciting in-school field trip to the Swift Farm Petting Zoo. Amidst the charming rural backdrop, the children immersed themselves in a world of furry friends and feathered companions. Excited squeals filled the air as the students tenderly cradled baby chicks and rabbits, marveling at their softness and delicate gestures. Their joy knew no bounds as they gently stroked the woolly coats of sheep and the curious noses of goats. Beyond the thrill of interaction, this hands-on experience instilled valuable lessons about farm animals and responsible pet ownership. Through close encounters and engaging activities, our students discovered the essence of compassion and empathy toward our furry and feathered companions.
Egg-citing Egg Hunt!
Amidst the anticipation of spring break, the PreK students at Cedar Hill Prep School kicked off their holiday with an egg-stravagant egg hunt. Dressed in colorful attire, the little ones eagerly gathered on the school playground, ready for a morning of delightful surprises. With baskets in hand and excitement in their eyes, the PreK students embarked on their egg-citing adventure. Every corner of the playground became a potential treasure trove for these enthusiastic egg hunters.

Sprouting Seeds of Love
In celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd, our Pre-Kindergarten students took part in hands-on activities that helped them connect with the importance of caring for our planet. With wide-eyed wonder and tiny green thumbs, the children planted cucumber and zinnia seeds, learning how to nurture new life and patiently await the beauty of growth. These little gardeners are excited to watch their plants bloom — a powerful lesson in care, responsibility, and renewal. Alongside planting, the students dove into Earth Day crafts, creatively expressing their love for nature. They also reflected on ways to protect the environment by practicing the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It was a day full of meaningful moments, setting strong roots for a lifelong commitment to sustainability.

Vincent’s trip to the grocery store quickly turns into a chaotic adventure as his memory gets mixed up, turning a simple list into a series of amusing surprises. The students couldn’t help but laugh along with this hilarious tale! Next, Stanley read Dragon for Hanukkah by Sarah Mlynowski, a heartwarming, magical story thatcelebrates Hanukkah and the power of a child’s imagination.

April Happenings in Grade 4
Science Fair
Before Spring Break, Grade 4 students were busy developing their “Big Questions” and Hypotheses for their Science Fair projects. Choosing from a list of broad topics related to their Science Curriculum, each student came up with a very thoughtful question that they were interested in researching, one that would guide their experiment. Upon our return from vacation, they developed the procedures they thought they would follow as they conducted their experiments at home. As true scientists, the students are realizing the essence of trial and error, flexibility, and creativity as they proceed with their experiments. We cannot wait for their presentations at our CHP annual Science Fair on May 14!

Middle School Poetry Day 2025: A Moving Tribute to the Human Experience
The 2025 Middle School Poetry Day theme was “Poetry: A Reflection of the Human Condition.” Our middle school students bared their souls on topics such as family, nature, sorrow, joy, adversity, intolerance, empathy, mental health, women’s rights, and the effects of war. Their poems revealed the truth about our shared human experiences—those that bind us together, and sadly, at times, those that keep us apart.
Each year, our middle school students are challenged to reach new heights, and they never fail to rise to the occasion. This year was no exception. In addition to their powerful poems, students incorporated skits, props, beautiful artwork, and banners to further enhance their presentations. The growth they demonstrated in preparation for this day has been truly remarkable. We are so proud of all their hard work and creativity!

Moana Jr. Sets Sail with Heart, Heritage, and Harmony
Our recent production of Moana Jr. was nothing short of extraordinary—a vibrant celebration of culture, courage, and community brought to life by our phenomenal students. From the moment the curtain rose, the audience was transported to the mythical island of Motunui, where themes of identity, destiny, and resilience were explored through powerful performances and heartfelt music. Every student on stage and behind the scenes poured their entire heart into this production, and it showed. The show was grounded in deep respect for the Polynesian culture from which it draws its roots. The students were educated and encouraged to honor the traditions, language, and spirit of ancient Polynesia. This sense of responsibility and authenticity was infused into every moment of the show, turning it into a moving tribute rather than a simple performance. The result? A production that was not only a feast for the senses but nourishment for the soul. Thank you to everyone who supported Moana Jr.—from parents and volunteers to staff and our incredible audience.

News from the Nurse
Hello CHP Families!
Spring has officially sprung—and so have the sneezes, scraped knees, and sunburns! As we head into this beautiful season of growth and sunshine, here are a few friendly reminders from your favorite school nurse to help keep our kiddos happy and healthy:
Allergy Alert!
Pollen is in the air—and so are the sniffles! If your child has seasonal allergies, please make sure we have updated medication on file. Tissues and water bottles are their best buds this time of year!
Sunscreen = Superpower
Those UV rays don’t mess around! Please apply sunscreen at home before school—it's the best way to keep your child protected throughout the day. Hats and sunglasses? Bonus style points and sun safety!
If You're Sick, Rest is Best
Spring bugs still like to make the rounds. If your child has a fever, upset tummy, or any “uh-oh” symptoms, let them rest at home and return only when they’re feeling 100% superhero again.
Outdoor Play = Boo-Boo Season
More time outside means more scraped knees and elbows! We’ve got plenty of Band-Aids, hugs, and ice packs, but please remind your child to wear proper shoes and play safely.
Let’s all bloom into the best version of ourselves this spring—healthy, hydrated, and ready for fun!
With care and sunshine, Nurse Loretta CHP Health Office
