Berrien County -
Teens Exhibiting Able Minds (TEAM) Survey
Parents: We will ask students to voluntarily take the Berrien
Community Foundation’s TEAM Survey on Monday, April 10 during our PA
Announcements. The results of the survey will help the Youth Advisory
Committee for the Berrien Community Foundation better allocate grant dollars to
programs that will help our youth in Berrien County.
Please talk with your student if you don’t want them to participate in
this short voluntary online survey.

Robotics News:
Update from district event at Grand Valley the weekend of March 24th-25th.
We played 9 out of 12 qualification rounds on Friday and ended the day
in 9th place (out of 41). Saturday was extremely successful as we won our final
three qualification matches, which placed us in first place going into the
alliance selection. We won both the quarterfinals and semifinals and were
eliminated in the finals. This second place finish gave us a finalist ranking.
We also earned the Excellence in Engineering Award and a safety award.
The points earned at the SJ (73) and West Michigan (63) Events have
earned us a third place ranking in the State out of 451 teams. It is estimated
that teams will need a minimum of about 53 District Points to qualify for the
State Competition. The Average Joes have 136 points.
We are so proud of the students as they not only performed well with the
robot, but also represented the school, district and community well. The hotel
staff (this was our third stay there) complimented our students as one of the
best high school groups they ever have.

Sr. All Night Party Information:
Get On The
Bus….We’re Cruising to Chicago!
Parents of the Class of 2017,
Plans are under way for the annual Senior All-Night
Party that immediately follows the graduation ceremony June 4. As in years past, we will spend our night
around Navy Pier. This will include time
at Dave & Buster’s, seeing an amazing hypnotist show, and boarding a cruise
ship for 2 hours to play games, eat and dance the night away, all while sailing
along the Chicago Skyline. Students will
return to the high school at 6:00 am.
We can provide all this to our students for $75 for
the entire evening!!! This includes
meals, charter buses, bowling/bocce, hypnotist show, cruising, dancing, and a
night they will never forget!
Our committee has many fundraisers already planned to
cover the remaining cost. We have the
following dates scheduled so far, so please help us spread the word!
· Thursday – April 13, 2017 – Lakehouse By Cravings – All
Day
To reserve your student’s spot, please return the
enclosed form along with a check made payable to SJPS and write SANP in the

We realize the cost may be prohibitive for some and
want EVERYONE to be able to attend. If
you are able to donate extra money towards a scholarship, we would greatly
appreciate it. If you are in need of a
scholarship for your student or have any questions, please contact your
counselor or Martha Schultz-Johanski at maschultzsj@gmail.com.
