Jenn’s Pen - Inside Out by: Mrs. Jennifer Thompson
It’s here. The final day of school. As the saying goes, 8me flies when you are having fun, and I think this year has flown by. It has been a blessing to be together this year as we have learned to live Inside Out. I trust that we have all experienced God’s grace, mercy, blessing, and peace this year as we’ve all grown academically, spiritually, emo8onally, physically and socially. It has been an amazing year! In the first Tiger Tracks of the year, I challenged us all to allow our lives to speak as loudly as our lips as we set off to Love, Learn and Serve together from the inside out. Take some 8me to reflect on that with your family. Ask your student about what they have learned about living Inside Out. As we live out Christ who is in us, our joy in Him will be reflected to others. That is our charge from our theme verse of Gala8ans 2:20, that we live by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. Enjoy each other this summer, and may God’s blessing and peace go with you.

Last Day of School We reached our school reading goal! Thanks to some amazing readers in our elementary school, we were able to greatly surpass our goal of 150,000 pages read this semester. On Wednesday, we will have a time of celebration with Kona Ice coming to give (free) snow cones to all of our students. This will take place during the school day. Any class parties will be after school (11:45 or later) and will be coordinated by room parents. Thank you for another wonderful year!
BoxTops Class Winner for 2015-2016 Together we raised $597 for SJCS and our curb appeal fund. This year the 4th grade class donated the largest number of box tops. Together they submitted 2166 box tops equaling $216.60 toward our goal. Thank you all for continuing to clip and save! Do not hesitate to drop off your boxtops during the summer. We would love to get a head start on our $750 goal for next year.

Teacher Tales | Spotlight on Milestone Years by Mr. I This year, we have a few wonderful staff members reaching a "milestone" in their service at SJCS. Mrs. (Diephouse) Medeiros and Mrs. Nelson have taught for 5 years at our school. Mrs. Phillips is completing her 10th year; and Mrs. Wakatsuki has served our school for 25 years! Each of these women have a profound impact on our school culture and are a huge part of what makes our community special. Please be sure to wish them a Happy Anniversary, and share a story of how they have impacted your life or the life of your child. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful staff!
