Mini GrantsThe San Jacinto Education Foundation is marking

its twelfth year of awarding mini grants. Each yearthe Foundation awards additional grants. Each

school sitereceives aminimumof $500.Grants areawarded inthe Fall.Therecipientsarerecognizedat a SanJacintoUnified

School Board Meeting and at the annual EducationFoundation Recognition Reception in the Spring.The 2019-2020 recipients were selected inDecember, 2019. Teachers are eligible to receivegrants in consecutive years.

To start the 2019-2020 school year atSan Jacinto Unified School District in aslightly different way, a team of teachersat De Anza Elementary were inspired topersonally deliver, and not just makephone calls, a special welcome to the 72families of kindergarteners about toexperience their first day of school.“We understand how many parents and

kindergarten children feel on the first dayof school,” said Tamra Simpson, TOSAAdministrator for De Anza Elementary.“Most families are experiencing amixture of excitement, nostalgia andanxiety—and the first day is filled withjoy and tears from both parents and littleones,” Mrs. Simpson noted.Teachers shown in the photo to the right

know this experience all too well as theyhave been teaching kindergarten formany years. This year the team decided theywould exemplify a catch phrase at SJUSDcalled The San Jacinto Difference. Instead of phone callsfrom an auto-dialer or parent notifications by mail, theywould personally invite families to kindergartenorientation. They personally visited 72 homes to greettheir students and delivered a gift bag that contained thebook The Kissing Hand, by Audrey Penn.“The book we shared with families beautifully

illustrates the narrative of children starting school orfacing separation from their loved ones,” explained Mrs.Phillips. The books were purchased with Scholastic BookClub points and the teachers’ personal contributions.“We wanted to help our families feel welcomed and

comfortable on the first day of school,” shared Mrs.Long. “And we know this really worked because of thegreat increase in attendance at our kindergartenorientation session,” said Mrs. Boessneck. Orientationwas held on August 7, and included a tour of the schoolcampus areas that students would be frequenting.“I think our visit helped students not feel like they were

being left with a stranger on that first day of school,” saidMrs. Johnson. By the time students arrived to school onAugust 8, most of them had already met with theirteacher twice.

October is San JacintoHeritage Month and SanJacinto Unified School Districtwas very busy with plans andcelebrating with annualtraditions.“The Heritage Month light

pole banners were once againput on display by the City,”shared Diane Perez, SJUSD’sSuperintendent. “Thesebanners depict theestablishment dates for us, theCity of San Jacinto and the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians – the bigthree entities that have remained steadfast in this community since the1800s,” she noted. The school district’s Board of Trustees passed aresolution at their September meeting, once again declaring October asHeritage Month. The City of San Jacinto did the same with a proclamationat their regular meeting on October 1, 2019, and Soboba followed withsteps to declare October as a month to celebrate local heritage, too.

SJUSD Celebration of Heritage Month (October)

On Friday, October 11, a little more than 40 entries in the San JacintoHigh School annual Homecoming Parade made their way from the schoolalong Ramona Boulevard, San Jacinto Avenue and Idyllwild Drive, back to

the school stadi-um.“Our theme this

year was ‘Lights,Camera, Action,’and we had manyexpressive stu-dent floats andentries this year,”explained Antoi-nette Miles, SanJacinto High’sASB Director,who oversees theactivities forhomecoming.

“We appreciate the City’s help with closing streets for about an hour—thisis such a strong community tradition,” said Miles.The final entry in the parade featured members of the San Jacinto High

School Class of 1969, who held their 50th class reunion during this year’sHomecoming weekend. The group had special seating at the footballgame on October 11, to watch the Tigers beat West Valley High SchoolMustangs by the score of 41 to 0.

SJHS vs HHS ???Yes, there are many

questions being askedabout footballcompetition between SanJacinto and Hemet.Since 1929 the twoschools have competedagainst one another withthe exceptions of a few years when Hemetbecame so much larger than San Jacintothe games were curtailed. From 1929 until1967 the teams competed and it was thehighlight of the season. For many yearsthe game was played on Armistice Day butbecause of scheduling with the RiversideCounty League that practice had to bealtered. In those years, Hemet wasvictorious 25 times while San Jacintocould manage to win only 10 times. Therewere two ties, 1937 and 1947. Fourcontests were played beginning in 2000but the size comparison of the two schoolput San Jacinto at a huge disadvantage.2010 marked the beginning of the currentcompetition and San Jacinto had a studentpopulation comparable to Hemet. Therecord since is San Jacinto nine to Hemetone. This is the reason for this article.Hemet is refusing to schedule San Jacintoin football. According to one source, thecoach from Hemet stated that while he is

head coach, Hemet willnever play San Jacinto.

This seems a little oddsince San Jacinto forover forty years couldonly win ten of thirty-five contests and attimes Hemet dominated

so much San Jacinto could muster onlytwo win in the first seventeen years.Hemet actually won nine years in a rowduring that span. Did San Jacinto refuse toplay? Of course not! San Jacinto did havea win steak of four years from 1955 to1958, but between 1959 and 1965 Hemetwon every contest. Still, did San Jacintorefuse to play. Of course not!

Over the span of 1929 to 2019, SanJacinto has been able to come outvictorious 19 times while Hemet has won30 contests. Why any school would giveup the opportunity to have gate receiptsthat exceeds $30,000 is far beyond theimagination. Hopefully, Hemet will cometo their senses and resume scheduling theTigers.
