Jenn’s Pen - Board of Trustees by: Mrs. Jennifer Thompson Today (3/10/16) is the SJCS #OneDayOffline, and it feels great to be writing this out long hand. (I thought about putting a picture of my handwritten article here.) When I was in school, writing longhand was THE option until I got to 12th grade and was introduced to the electric typewriter. What a miracle that was, and then to get one with correcting ribbon? I thought I was at the zenith of technology! As we know, change is an inevitable part of our lives, and technology is on a fast track. I recently visited my grandmother who turned 99 in January, and we sat one afternoon to talk about the changes in her lifetime. Imagine the changes since 1917! She grew up in Brooklyn, NY and experience that big city going from horses to cars to skyscrapers. And as we looked at pictures on her iPad, she remarked, “All the changes in my life, but no change in God’s faithfulness.” Amen to that! The legacy of a Christian family is something for which I give thanks everyday. May God bless you as you raise up Christian kids and serve the Lord as a family. Thank you for the trust in partnership you have given us.
His faithfulness endures forever… Psalm 117:2

Tiger Tracks Auction Team Needs Your Help
Tiger Cubs Check this section each week for exciting news about our youngest Tigers! Some pretty amazing things happen in Preschool...here are just a few things we did last week: Infant Care: The caterpillars did some sensory exploration with wet chalk paintings and play with shaving cream! It was a messy, but fun activity! Butterflies: The Butterflies learned about letter "P." They made "pizza P's" and had a pancake party on Friday! Dragonflies: The Dragonflies focused on the Miracles of Jesus in Bible. They also memorized the verse "With God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). Amazing! Fireflies: The Fireflies are learning about Europe and to highlight their day learning about England, they had a class tea party! The students helped prepare the classroom for guests and reviewed kind etiquette before the party.
Coaching Opportunity: SJCS athletics is looking for a boys volleyball coach for the upcoming season. If you are interested, or know any possible candidates, please contact Alex Bost at abost@sjchristian.org
