Check Mate!
On Wednesday, January 13th, Evangel Christian School hosted a Chess Tournament in preparation for the first Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Chess Tournament. Schools throughout the Northeast region will come together to participate in this fun yet challenging game of strategy. Students played multiple games in the intense elimination rounds. We thank all the students who participated and are praying for the team members who will be competing on February 12th in Newton Square, PA.
Christmas Program
Go! That was the theme shared by our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students on Thursday, December 17th at Evangel Christian School’s Annual Christmas Program. Using the Christmas story as the basis, Middle School demonstrated how God calls us to Go Lead!, Go Obey!, Go Risk!, Go Tell!, and Go Serve! Students read poems they had written on their own, sang songs, danced, and performed dramas as each segment demonstrated how we can do one of the five “Go’s.” The grand finale featuring all Middle School students singing Jesus, Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child ended the performance on a truly high note. The students practiced many hours and their hard work did not go unnoticed as many guests shared how blessed and touched they were by the message. So remember, when God tells you to go–GO!

Joy
This month we studied our Character trait – JOY!. We learned that Joy is not based on outward circumstances but rather on an inward relationship with Jesus. Joy brings meaning to the word Christmas. We also wrote poems to express the joy that Jesus brings to our lives. It was awesome to see the young people share their poems during the Christmas program.

Joy
We studied Joy, this month, which was fitting seeing how it was the holiday season. We looked at the life of Mary and the joy Jesus must have brought to her life. We also wrote poems to express the joy that Jesus brings to our lives. It was awesome to see some of the young people share their poems during the Christmas program.

Nehemiah
We studied the life of Nehemiah this month. Nehemiah’s life has a lot to teach us. Nehemiah was true a leader and he was full of compassion, caring for the needs of others. He is a great example of a servant leader. A servant leader leads by example and is willing to get their hands dirty. Our ultimate example is JESUS!

Hope and a Future
We studied God’s purpose and plan for our lives. We learned that we are unique and designed with a purpose. It’s important that our young people know there life has hope. The absence of hope is the presence of depression. There are a lot of young people walking around aimlessly, but we know that “God has given us a Hope and a Future!” Praise the Lord!

Gift Boxes
Students worked on painting paper mache gift boxes for that special someone. That special someone can be a good friend, a teacher, parents or other relatives. Students used various colors of tempera paint to paint their boxes and some also added beads, glitter, paper and ribbons. This craft is perfect for small gifts such as jewelry and other keepsakes.

Masquerade Ball
Students painted and decorated their own paper mache masquerade mask using tempera, acrylic, neon and metallic paints. They also had the choice of accenting them with feathers, beads, glitter and flowers.

Music Class
Students are continuing to learn the guitar. Throughout this month students will be learning three more songs. They really like coming in and playing each week. It is challenging for many of them but they seem to really be picking it up. Some have even started looking at songs they know and realize they can now play those songs on the guitar because of the chords they have learned so far. I really enjoy seeing their faces as they discover that in a few short months they have learned enough to begin playing real songs.

Math and Music
The 8th Grade math class is working on a music project. They are learning how math and music have things in common. When looking at the process of mixing sound tracks, they are discovering the mathematical patterns in the music.
