Because We Always Get the First 40 Points.
The football team may go by the name "St. Joseph's" but it was Grace Preppers scoring all of the touchdowns in last week's win. Jared Stormer scored early, Zac Sechler added a touchdown before the half, and then Jake Stormer had a late, game-winning kickoff return for a touchdown that led the Wolves to their second victory of the season. (Oh, and if that's not enough, Jared Stormer went 3 for 3 on extra point kicks to seal the 21-18 win over Columbia-Montour VT).

This Friday is Senior Night! Come on out and support the only Senior
on the team, Jake Stormer!

"My wife and I have been using the Scrip program when our children were at Nittany Christian and have been using it since its inception at Grace Prep. Here is a short list of the benefits that we have found with the program:

- Buying gift cards helps you to budget and plan for your expenses. You know what you are spending and don't fall into the trap of excessive credit card spending.
- Buying gift cards from the numerous companies on Scrip is a great way to give Christmas and birthday presents.
- Planning a major home improvement project or appliance purchase, why not buy Scrip cards for Lowe's, Home Depot or Sears for example?
- For years while our children were attending Nittany Christian and Grace Prep we used the Scrip percentage that was attributed to us the purchaser to help pay for our children's tuition (a big help when you are sending four children through private school).
- Now that are children have all graduated we still purchase Scrip gift cards and donate the Scrip percentage back to the school and receive a tax deduction for the donation. What an easy way to bless the school by simply purchasing gift cards for necessities such as groceries and gas.

Grace and peace,
Bryan and Space Spang"
