St. Isaac Jogues Charger Athletics

The Charger Athletics program is made up of a number of dedicated individuals who donate their time and talents to help make sports a successful part of St. Isaac Jogues Catholic School. Our Athletic Directors are responsible for the primary aspects of the program including the organization of our teams, coaches, and games.  The ADs are supported by the Chargers Booster Club which handles secondary aspects of the program such as concessions, fundraising, spiritware, and communications.  The Chargers Booster Club holds its meetings in the St. Angela Parish Hall on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm .  They are open to anyone who wishes to attend and be a part of it.  Below are the individuals who are currently a part of this team.

Kevin Wilson

Spiritware Chair - Chargers Booster Club

":My family has been with SIJ since 2020 when we decided private school was a better option for our family.  We rediscovered our faith that first year and I was confirmed. My wife Carolyn went through RCIA and converted from Lutheran to catholic because she knew it was the right choice. We have been heavily involved in the parish and school ever since. I am a member of the Men’s club volunteering my time at all school events. I have also been an assistant coach and head coach of the JV baseball team as well as assistant JV football coach. I am super excited for this new endeavor as spiritware chair."

 

 

 

Monica Borek

Social Media Chair - Chargers Booster Club

"11 years ago my husband and I made a split second decision that would change our lives for the better and our SIJ journey began. Brad and I will celebrate 16 years of marriage this year and are parents to 3 SIJ Chargers and 1 class of 2024 SIJ alumni. We Are 9:30 mass regulars and I have been involved at SIJ for a long time: I volunteer with the Parents Club, I chaired the auction for 2 years, and I even mentored in the classroom for a few years. Centering our family life around our Catholic faith and giving our children that firm foundation is very important to me. As well as teaching them how serving others can bring so much joy! I’m excited to be involved with the new Booster club especially since I love social media too. When I’m not in church or volunteering at school I’m off being a super awesome Polish dance mom, a pretty ok “trophy wife” or creating something fabulous in the kitchen or my craft space."

"Hi all, I am a parent to an SIJ alumni that graduated 2023 and a current 6th grader. John and I have been involved with volunteering with the SIJ sports program since our oldest started k-2 basketball. I have been handling concessions for about 8 years. Outside of athletics, we enjoy helping out with fish fry's, chili cookout, open houses, and harvest fest. "
