Letter from Our Director

Dear Parents,

It is with great joy that I welcome you as we celebrate the 74th year of this ministry! Please find in this handbook information regarding the schedules and operation of our programs. Among the following pages, however, nothing conveys the excitement and enthusiasm of our staff as we welcome you to Shandon. We are very pleased you have chosen to include us in the life of your child and family and we look forward to sharing in that journey!

Recognizing that each child is an individual with unique gifts, our staff strives to provide hands-on experiences of learning and playing within a Christian environment while also fostering a sense of community. To assist us in this endeavor, we encourage you to participate in your child’s life at school as well as share with us the important experiences of your child outside of this environment. Only through a cooperative effort with you are we able to provide the nurturing environment and valuable learning experiences for your child.

Again, allow me to express my excitement as I anticipate our time together during the upcoming school year. Needless to say, if you have questions or concerns regarding your child or our program, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Blessings,

Carla Graf
Director

Letter from our Parents’ Council

Dear SUMPK Parents,

We are so excited for another wonderful year at SUMPK! I look forward to working with all of you and getting to know your families in the months ahead. A special welcome to our new families—SUMPK is such a special place, and we’re thrilled to have you join our community.

The Parents’ Council is a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting our school through a variety of events and initiatives throughout the year. We are fortunate to have such an active and engaged parent community, and I encourage everyone to get involved in a way that works for you. The funds we raise go directly back into the school, and your participation plays a meaningful role in helping SUMPK continue to grow and thrive.

I’m honored to serve as your Parents’ Council President this year, alongside our Treasurer, Christina Holloway. We are looking forward to a year filled with connection, support, and fun for our families.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me at (803) 920-3983 or email sumpkparents@gmail.com.

With a grateful heart,

Nicki Hood
SUMP&K Parents’ Council President
