The football teams would like to thank all the fans that came out and showed their SJC Spirit Friday.  We have the best fans in the city and we also want to thank Ms. Tarantello and Student Council for making Friday Night Lights a huge success.  In football action the Junior team lost a tough one against the North Park Junior juggernaut.  We had a tonne of players playing in their first game and they showed tremendous heart and hard work.  In Senior action, the Senior Eagles brought a huge win back to SJC up ending the reigning champs of Brant County with a 14 to 13 victory over North Park.  Great play by Ethan R. Tom C., Anthony the Grizzly bear E., Marcos N. and Sam “second half” M..  Both teams play BCI this Thursday at 6 & 8 pm.

Attention Concert Band, Music folders are available for pick up now in the music room.  Please get your music before the first rehearsal so you have time to look it over.  Also, if you do not yet have an instrument assigned to you, please see Mrs. Marriott today so that time does not need to be taken away from the rehearsal to sort that.  The first practice is tomorrow in the music room from 3:15 – 4:45.  Finally, if you wanted to join the band but didn’t sign up yet, please see Mrs. Marriott to be added to the list.

Attention Singers, please sign up for the vocal ensemble if you are interested in singing with a group.  Mrs. Marriott is open to ideas this year about music selection, styles and performances.  The sign-up sheet is on room 130.  Practices are after school on Tuesdays, and the first practice is Tuesday, October 3rd.
