Reflections on Who We Are by Mr. Den Boer
Love reaches out to those in need of a friend. Last week, SJCS unveiled its “buddy bench” on the elementary school playground. The buddy bench is designed to be a physical reminder that God calls us to reach out to others in love. Here’s how it works:

Core Values Part 4
What exactly are our fundamental beliefs and guiding principles? This is the fourth of six articles where I will offer some ideas stemming from meetings with Board, staff, and community members. I welcome your comments at bdenboer@sjchristian.org.
!
Core Value #3: Outstanding Teachers: We value outstanding, passionate and faith-filled teachers, who meet the highest professional standards and are flourishing both personally and professionally. Our teachers are committed to the calling of Christian education.
!
If someone is looking for a friend at recess but can’t find anyone to play with (or maybe is too shy to ask), that student can go sit on the buddy bench. This will be a sign to other students that someone is looking to play. They will then go invite the student to play with them.
!
Do we at SJCS actually have outstanding teachers? If so, why do you think so? Let us know what you think!
The students are very excited about having the buddy bench on the playground, and we’ve already seen some great examples of love being shown to others. If you’re on campus, be sure to look on the playground at our beautiful new bench. And if you need a friend, you know where to go!
