RISE UP!
From the Office Alice a Huge Success This past weekend, audiences were treated to outstanding performances of the middle school play, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. From the vividly colorful costumes to the hilarious dialogue to the sets, props, and lighting, the play succeeded at entertaining everyone, young and old. Alice teaches us about creativity and imagination, and at SJCS we embrace both of those qualities as special ways in which we bear out the image of God in ourselves. We heartily thank the actors, crew, directors, and all of the support staff for taking us to Wonderland and providing a great example of what it means to worship the Lord with our talents. Our hats are off to you!
Upcoming Events Grand “Friends” Day Save the date (May 10) for the SJCS Grand “Friends” Day Celebration.

Join the SJCS Association Today
Monday, April 22
May 3 Fine Arts Festival Hanford Christian School
SJCS Board Meeting | 7:00pm
May 4 11th Annual Spring Auction Camden Community Center
Each May, the SJCS Association holds its annual business meeting to hear about the past year, approve the budget for the coming year, and vote new trustees onto the board. The upcoming meeting is on Monday, May 13 at 7pm in the Auditorium. The Association is the highest level of authority over the school, and you can be a part of it. Membership requires you to sign off on our school’s statement of faith and pay $10 in dues each year. Our governance structure is set up so that teachers answer to the administration, the administration answers to the board of trustees, and the board answers to the Association. That is why SJCS is characterized as a parent-run school, and it is part of what helps create the sense of ownership and community here. Current parents, past parents, employees, and any adults who care about SJCS are eligible to become members. We hope you consider joining the SJCS Association today! If you have any questions regarding the Association, please contact the school office.
