year. Some are new to SCCS; others are familiar faces taking on a new assignment according to their gifts and calling. As you get to know each of them this year we trust you will see why God has added them to our family and how we will be blessed by their ministry to our students. Please give a warm SCCS welcome, or congratulations, to our newest teachers as we continue "...standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel" (Phil. 1:27b, NASB).

Common Core Standards
By Mr. Huckabone
Welcome to a new school year at SCCS. We are so glad to have such a wonderful community of families joining us on this mission of teaching minds and training hearts for God. We are well on our way through the first quarter and it has been a joy to have many great conversations with families about the importance of instructing our children in a Christian World View that helps them apply Biblical precepts to every area of their life. One of the most common questions I have had this year is how will SCCS be affected by the new Common Core Standards. There is often both interest and concern behind those questions. The state of California along with every other state have always had standards that direct what instruction will take place within the classroom. For the most part these standards are purely academic proficiencies but by the nature of mankind there are also aspects of cultural agenda that are weaved into the expectations as well.

SCCS Varsity Football Team More than the Scoreboard
By Mr. Bob Dickson
Gauging the 2013 version of the SCCS varsity football team became a little more complicated on Sept. 13, when the Cardinals broke out of an early-season funk  to beat Frederick Douglass Academy, 28-14 on the Lions' home field. The win was a welcome turn of events in light of the Cardinals' first two games -home losses to Chadwick (26-14 on Aug. 31) and Windward (22-6 on Sept. 6).
Against Chadwick and Windward, the Cardinals (1-2) were victimized by turnovers on offense while the team surrendered a handful of big plays on defense. As a result the team found itself on the short end of lopsided scores that didn't reflect the team's ability or potential. Click here to read more.

Meet Mr. Patrick Levis - SCCS Chapel Worship and Band Leader
 Meet Patrick Levis! Levis is the new Chapel Worship and Band Leader at SCCS.
Levis has a heart for communicating the Gospel to both believers and unbelievers with the platform of music.
"I love hearing the elementary age kids, especially the younger ones, singing at the top of their lungs," said Levis. "When they hit those choruses, they just let loose; totally uninhibited singing. I love it!"
Over the last 20 years, Levis has been involved in music in a variety of ways.
"I started singing professionally at 13-years-old when I was cast in the Broadway musical "big," said Levis. "I've been writing songs for about ten years and most recently released a brand new worship album called "Extravagant God" available at www.PatrickLevisMusic.com." Click here to read more.
