Conclusions
What happens when you take what you already knew and combine it with what you’re reading to figure out what you don’t know yet? BOOM! You just drew a conclusion! We know so much about the world around us, and we can use our knowledge to understand anything we read.

Great Job
Every year our students anxiously await the arrival of Elementary School Field Day. This is a day where local private schools get together and compete in track and field events. Not only do our students get to show off their speed and strength, they unite together as one body to support and encourage one another. Our middle school did amazing this year with 7th grade girls, 8th grade girls, and 8th grade boys all taking 1st place, as well as 7th grade boys placing 2nd. I was very impressed not only with how well they preformed, but with the amount of maturity that they exemplified. – Mr. Wong
NJHS Visits the New York Founding
For the 2009-2010 academic year, Evangel’s National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) decided to raise money for the NY Founding as their service project. Our NJHS treasurer, Keoana Arnett (an eighth grader), is adopted and her mother spoke with the NJHS advisor of the various organization she knew about.
As stated on their website, “Founded in 1869 as a home for abandoned children, The New York Foundling has continuously and conscientiously expanded its scope of programs to meet the changing needs of the communities we serve. The Foundling’s diverse network of programs works interactively to provide care for families with multiple social, economic, medical, and psychological needs. We protect children from abuse and neglect; we help teen mothers and other overstressed parents to meet the challenges of parenthood; we help developmentally disabled people achieve maximum independence; we provide educationally-enriched child care and preschool; and we meet a variety of community needs in neighborhoods struggling with poverty, drugs, and violence.”
Through bake sales held throughout the year, in which students baked or brought in yummy treats themselves, NJHS raised $300.00 which we presented to Mr. Alan Schatz, a program director at the New York Foundling, on May 27, 2010. Mr. Schatz provided a tour of the Crisis Nursery to our NJHS students. The Crisis Nursery is a facility that accepts children at any hour or any day if the parent is unable to care for them at that time. Mr. Schatz was so grateful and sent a beautiful letter of appreciation to our students in recognition of their endeavors. Pictures of our day can be see in our school’s website gallery.
NJHS looks forward to the 2010-2011 year in which we can raise both awareness and money for another great cause.

Give God the glory
On May 14, 2010, Pastor Lee Rousen, a former NY Giants player and a two-time Super Bowl champion, was brought in by Mr. John Lamb, a teacher at Evangel Christian School. We were pleasantly surprised as Pastor Lee ministered to our 6th-8th grade students as he told them about his rise to football fame while all the while acknowledging Jesus Christ was the one who deserved all the fame and glory. The students absolutely loved getting to know about Pastor Lee’s life and were excited to take pictures and meet with him after. Pastor Lee graciously signed cards for each of our students, which the students were grateful to receive. We thank Pastor Lee for coming in and speaking with our students. Check out the pictures in our gallery!

Congratulations
On April 30, 2010, Samantha Byrne (8th), Angelie Cesario (8th), Jerry Meng (7th), and Kristina Papacostas (8th) represented Evangel Christian School at the annual Association of Christian Schools International Junior High Speech Meet. These four students worked hard to memorize works from the Dramatic Reading, Dramatic Poetry, or Humorous Reading categories. There were two rounds with different judges the students had to recite their pieces to, using only their voice and emotion to convey the author’s thoughts. Each of our students brought home a rating of Good and was awarded with a ribbon and certificates and the awards ceremony. We are so proud of our Speech Meet Team and look forward to continuing to build it up and enter more categories in the future! Be sure to see the pictures from the day’s event in our website gallery.

Music Vocabulary
Students have been working hard on their music vocabulary. We have used various lessons to learn what exactly they are looking at when they are reading music. We have even made it a competition where students work together in groups to figure out what the musical terms are and what they mean.

Learning the Guitar
Students have been focusing on worship music. Throughout the year, they have been learning guitar. They now know enough to begin to play worship songs with chords. They played “I Am Free,” for their first worship song test. They are doing great and there have been about 5 students taking lessons privately as they want to play on the worship team next year.

Celebrating God’s Goodness
This year’s Spring Celebration took place on Monday, May24th and was a mixture of Elementary, Middle and High School students. Students performed skits, dramas, songs, and dances unto the Lord. What a great celebration it was and everyone was blessed – even the performers. Thanks to all for working so hard and glorifying God with the use of our talents.
