RISE UP!
From the Office See You at the Pole Thank you to the 50 or so people who joined us for “See You at the Pole” last week Wednesday morning. The event was a great opportunity to pray for our local, state, and national leaders and ask for the Lord’s guidance over us and our society. It is a privilege to belong to a school community with committed Christians who seek the Lord’s will and go to Him with their praises and petitions.
No School Thursday and Friday Our faculty will be heading to the CSI teachers convention in Visalia on Thursday. This gathering partners our staff with those of the other 5 CSI schools in Northern California for a day of spiritual nourishment and professional growth. Much can be learned by exchanging information and ideas with others in our profession, and we are thankful for the opportunity. On Friday, the SJCS staff will engage in a service project together as we seek to live out that part of our motto: A commitment to serve. We will be excited to share the results of these two events with you next week.

SJCS 12 At Legacy Christian 26 The Tigers started out great. David W. had a great interception and showed he’s really coming along at defensive back. Josh N. had a great catch for a TD early and also broke off a long TD later in the half. We still made a few key errors that cost us field position and points. The defense did a good job keeping Legacy contained for the most part. Nick M. stepped up for a great stop on 4th down. Matthew S. also made a great pull on their best player. The team is full of young guys who are filling the void of the 8th graders that left. We look forward to seeing Achiever at our place this week.
