As overseer of Chapel, it has been my desire to see the hearts of our students be drawn closer to our Lord and Savior. The Lord has been faithful to hear my heart’s cry. There has been such a growth and hunger in our students to worship God and carry out His purpose for their lives. From Elementary to High School, there has been steady growth and our Spiritual Focus for the year has truly been our anthem:
Philippians 3:13 NIV
“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Please continue to pray for our chapel services. We need to continue to ask God to open our children’s hearts and minds, we need the Lord to anoint our worship teams and we need God to empower every speaker who shares.

“Character” was the theme that was emphasized during Ronald’s visit to Evangel on Tuesday, March 10, 2009. The students played games, saw a puppet show and had a great time learning about Trustworthiness, Fairness, Responsibility and Respect. Even the teachers got involved as Ronald told a story and they got a chance to act it out. We are very grateful to McDonald’s for sending Ronald to our PreK – 3 through 6th grade to share how important character is. We can’t wait until he comes to visit us again!!!!!!

On March 3rd, Evangel Christian school participated in the annual Read Across America project of the National Education Association, which celebrated Dr. Seuss’ 105th birthday. Dr. Seuss, the man who taught children that reading is fun was born, Theodor Seuss Geidor in Springfield Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904.
On this fun -filled day, Mrs. Jimenez came dressed as the Cat in the Hat, had the most fun of all, as she read several stories to the students written by Dr. Seuss. Hop on Pop, The Cat in The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish were read to Pre-K3- 5th grade.
The students also went home with worksheets and door hangers created in class to remind them about the importance of reading. Our Pre-K 3’s made Cat in the Hat hats and ended their celebration by making their own green eggs and ham the following day. A great big “Thank You” to Mrs. Jimenez for all of her hard work!!!!

The entire class created a shape neighborhood. We created animals, houses, buildings, schools, and a snowman out of different shapes. We specifically concentrated on triangles, rectangles, squares and circles.
This month students will be working on Valentine’s Day projects. Elementary will be making Valentines Day cards, necklaces and picture frames for their loved ones. Studenare reminded that the greatest act of love took place on the cross!
We created an Indian trail in our classroom. The children were required to walk between two long pieces of string and keep their balance. Most of them walked forward, however, some made it more interesting when they decided to walk on one foot or walk the trail backwards.
We played a game called “Under the Flap”. The children needed to count the chicks and identify the corresponding numeral. This helped them understand number concepts and count the number of objects in a set. We are having lotd of fun leasrning in PreK-3.
We designed a set of animal cards (adult and offspring) and put them on display. The students then had to try and identify the animal and match the adult animal with their baby. It was a lot of fun!
Pk-3 has continued to enjoy picture books that I read to them every week. After I read to them and we discuss the story they color a picture that is related to the book we read. Then they get the chance to look or “read” books on their own. They have especially enjoyed reading “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.” After we read the book I shared some cookies with them, they were very pleased to say the least.

I am so proud of how hard Pre-K 3 worked on their Christmas Teddy Bears for our beautiful bulletin board. We sure did dirty our hands and clothes and made a huge mess, but it was well worth it and very fun. We constantly sang Christmas songs and spoke about the true meaning of Christmas. Wevencouraged the children to thank Jesus for all that we have and to give thanks unto Him with a cheerful heart.
