RISE UP!
From the Office See You at the PoleThank 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 com-munity with committed Christians who seek the Lord’s will and go to Him with their praises and petitions.
No School Thursday and FridayOur 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 Cali-fornia 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 pro-ject 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.

Sports UpdateFlag Football SJCS 12 At Legacy Christian 26The 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 for-ward to seeing Achiever at our place this week.
Softball SJCS 8 Los Gatos 13The girls now understand what can happen when you keep a strong defense. After letting the 2nd inning get away from us, the Tigers held the Lions to 1 or 2 runs each inning. Fighting back and scoring 7 of our 8 runs in the last inning was an excit-ing finish but not enough for a full come-back. Faustine D. did a great job in the outfield and Hannah-Marie S. had a strong game on the mound. Back to back games this week will give the Tigers an opportu-nity their opportunity to “Rise Up.”
Cross CountryTough race for the Tigers last week at Montgomery Hill. There were close to 150 runners in all. The course was hot, dusty, and hilly! The Tigers did a great job push-ing themselves beyond their comfort level.There are no meets this week, however the team will be training hard in preparation for the Division Finals.
