This year we had over 500 in attendance at our Annual Academic Banquet. Students that have made the Honor Roll, High Roll or Principal’s List are honored each year with trophies at our banquet. The gymnasium was decorated in Red, White and Blue and the food was fantastic. We had a great time celebrating all of our students accomplishments. Way to Go!!!!!

National ElementaryHonor Society is a society of leaders. Students participate in group projects that assist the community. They are challenged in the areas of Service, Leadership, Scholarship and Character. It is a beautiful candlelit ceremony filled with great accomplishments. Members pledge to follow 1Timothy 4:16 and Honor Stoles are presented to Seniors. This year we had the pleasure of welcoming 28 students into NEHS. We are so very proud for all of our students accomplishments.

The Rose Processional was absolutely the most beautiful part of the ceremony. Graduates walked down the carrying roses and met their mothers in the front of the sanctuary. They presented the roses to their mothers and took their place on the platform. Our graduates sang two songs and Pastor Andy shared an inspiring word with them. We are excited to have these graduates “moving up” to Middle School. What a fabulous day and we are so very proud of all of our students.

The last week of school 5th grade hosted their Annual Luau. Students ate Hawaiian food and played games like the limbo. There was also a very special hoola hoop contest. Students had a great time and it was a fantastic way to end their time in Elementary School.

Reader’s Oath – by Debra Angstead
I promise to read
Each day and each night.
I know it’s the key
To growing up right.
I’ll read to myself,
I’ll read to a crowd.
It makes no difference
If silent or loud.
I’ll read at my desk,
At home and at school,
On my bean bag or bed,
By the fire or pool.
Each book that I read
Puts smarts in my head,
‘Cause brains grow more thoughts
The more they are fed.
So I take this oath
To make reading my way
Of feeding my brain
What it needs every day.
Children and adults need time to unwind and enjoy the summer, so make summer reading fun! Summer shouldn’t mean taking a break from reading (or learning) since students who engage in reading activities return to school refreshed, excited and ready to pick up where they left off. Also remember that most Evangel students have summer book reports to do so…
Here are some tips to make reading a positive experience:
Keep LOTS of reading material around the home –books, newspapers, magazines and always, the Bible
Read outdoors – at the park or beach
Read to your child (it doesn’t matter how old or young your child is!)
Let your child read to you (older children can read newspaper or magazine articles)
Visit the library, check your local library’s website for special reading-related
activities and age-appropriate book lists
Model reading – turn off the TV and each person reads his or her book
(including Mom, Dad, grandparent)
ASK them what they think about what they’ve read and LISTEN to what they say

Our Spruce Lake retreat was one of our highlights of our year. We headed out on Thursday morning and came back Friday evening. 5E conquered their fears as they got to ride a power swing that takes you about 27 feet high and drops you like a sack of potatoes. We also learned about the pond animals and insects and how God provides for each one in their environment. The best learning experience was when we went rock climbing and learned to push beyond our limits. Can you believe I, Mrs. Emestica climbed the wall in 2 minuites and 44 seconds, but not without the help of my parents and students encouraging and helping me every step of the way. Thank-you 5E for making Spruce Lake a memorable experience.

As the fourth quarter ends, the improvement of the 5th grade’s typing skills cannot go unnoticed. Between lessons and assignments, the fifth graders have been working hard at improving their typing skills through typing programs, games, and activities. The big step to sixth grade comes with the responsibility of writing papers in Microsoft Word. Through their hard work this year I am confident to say they are ready for whatever sixth grade throws at them.

Students made thank you/we’ll miss you cards and posters for their teachers. These cards showed the children’s appreciation and were placed in their teacher’s mail box on the last day of school.

Students in Fifth grade and Kindergarten spent their June Music classes getting ready for their graduations. Both of the ceremonies were great!
