As a reminder, this coming Sunday is the SJS Family Fun Day at the Yard Goats! For families that purchased tickets, you should have received an email last week with your ticket/seat assignment. If you did not receive the tickets in your email, please reach out to parent volunteer coordinator Jodi Talaga at jtalaga94@gmail.com.
Parents and students from our school have been offered the opportunity to hold the Big Flag on the field during the National Anthem. Please meet at the top of section 101-102 (first couple of sections inside the main gates) by 12:50pm and a Yard Goats representative will come bring everyone down onto the field.
We encourage students to wear their SJS 100th anniversary shirts or other SJS spiritwear to the game!
In light of the fact that there is rain in the forecast for Sunday, here is the Rain Policy provided by the Stadium: We will play through most weather, however if we do not complete at least 4.5 innings (ruled an official game) due to the weather, then we will issue rain check all of the tickets. That means that your guests will be able to exchange their tickets at the box office for a ticket to another 2023 Yard Goats game for a ticket of equal or lesser value based on availability.

We are also pleased to announce that two of our students won scholarship money for their entries – 3rd Grader Gracie Nazario and 7th Grader Hannah Pfeiffer (pictured below with just a fraction of the $7,500 in free goodies we received).
