Dear Parents and Students,
The SJND community was busy this weekend, with an exciting NCS championship game on Friday night, as well as a full weekend of fantastic performances by those starring in and supporting the school's production of
Lucky Stiff
!
Friday night the Women’s Basketball Team competed in the North Coast Section Open Division Championship at St. Mary’s college in Moraga. It was a very competitive game up until midway through the fourth quarter when the Pilots went on a 16-0 run to defeat Cardinal Newman. The team played hard and with tremendous heart. Please congratulate them and continue the support as the team advances to the NorCal Semifinal this Saturday, March 7, at home. Go Pilots!
My Saturday afternoon was filled with much laughter and entertainment. The cast, crew and musicians of
Lucky Stiff
uplifted us all. It was great to see many alumni return to show their support for the program and our many talented student performers. The production could not have been such a success without the dedication, passion and professionalism of our Director of Theater Programs, Ms. Lauren Rosi. Thank you to all those involved with the production!
Have a great week!
Ms. Guevara
Interim Principal
