The Moving the Mission project to build a greenhouse for SJM FFA on campus netted over $8,000. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this year's auction.

Successful School Production of Abra Cadaver

October 29 was a magical night with San Joaquin Memorial High School’s first production of the year, Abra Cadaver. The one-act 45 minute play was preceded by musical acts by Evelyn Linneman (sophomore) and Charlotte Burks and Samuel Albarran (junior and sophomore, respectively). The play itself was directed by Charlotte Burks (junior), Mary-Ellison

Hage (sophomore), and Samuel Mendes (junior). The directors send out their warmest congratulations to the cast and crew, who did absolutely wonderfully, and thank the Memorial

community for coming out and supporting.

S Club Service Project for Marjoree Mason Center

S Club recently donated 274 Halloween treat and activity bags to the Marjoree Mason Center.

"We are very committed to serving our community and brightening the holidays for these precious children and families," said Carlie Frye, Faculty Supervisor for the Club.

Senior Sunrise

The class of 2022 joined together early in the morning recently to watch the sunrise. The group of about 70 seniors enjoyed breakfast, music, and an intense game of corn hole. Thank you to the entire cafeteria staff for coming in early to make breakfast burritos for the students.
