Jenn’s Pen - Rest is a Good Idea by: Mrs. Jennifer Thompson May already! Wow! As an educator, I always look at May as a whirlwind of activity, and this May is no exception. I look forward to all the community events that are coming up this year. Please be sure to mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate our students and friends as we finish up a tremendous year. However, do not get so busy that you don’t have time to enjoy your family and friends. The proverbial hamster wheel that we sometimes get on needs to stop spinning. God wants us to rest as well. Mark 6:30-31 says this: “The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Jesus certainly knew that he and the disciples needed rest because right after that, it was time to feed 5,000 people. We never know what God is having us rest for, but as we seek to serve him, know that rest is a really good idea.

Tiger Tracks Alumni News - Alexei VanKlaveren (Class of 2012) Congratulations to Alexei Van Klaveren (SJCS ’12 / VCHS ’16), a recipient of the 2016 REACH Youth Scholarship at Valley Christian High School. Alexei is a wonderful example of dedication and commitment to excellence. Alexei was awarded the honor last Friday for his perseverance in wrestling. Alexei also exemplifies the SCJS Commitment to Serve element of our tag line. Every year since his graduation Alexei has volunteered at SJCS by painting doors, working on the auction set up team, and working with our students at the annual Walk-a-Thon. We are excited to celebrate this outstanding accomplishment with the Van Klaveren family. We encourage you to watch the video (http://bit.ly/1SPnS4k) to hear more about Alexei’s inspirational story.
