Several middle school students and one elementary student had the privilege of participating in the Annual Association of Christian Schools International Art Fair in North Stonington, CT. The students were exited to get out of the city and to see for themselves what the competition is like.
Upon arrival to North Stonington Christian Church & Academy we attended a chapel service. This chapel service was where all the schools introduced themselves and guest speakers shared how God can use art and is the Master Artist. After chapel we headed to the wreck room where students were served lunch and had the opportunity to interact with kids from other schools. After lunch everyone headed to the school where all the artwork and ribbons were displayed. The artwork was judged before schools arrived and were rated Superior, Excellent or Good.
One piece of artwork (made this year) was submitted for each student and was compared with that of other students of the same grade level from other Christian schools. Evangel Christian School did an excellent job! Abrianna Ross (kindergarten) and Sopia Paskov (second grade) came in 1st in their age group, April Joanne Abortante (eighth grade), Angelie Cesario (seventh grade), Nicholas Reyes (fifth grade) and Christian Pascal (first grade) came in 2nd in their age group and last but not least Kreg Franco (seventh grade), Kristina Papacostas (seventh grade), Natale Barbosa (seventh grade), Astroy Semple (sixth grade), Amber Reyes (fourth grade) and Emmily Carrasquillo (eighth grade) came in 3rd in their age group.
Although we did a great job this year we plan to come back next year even stronger and ready to give all the other schools a run for their money!

Lights! Camera! Action! Middle School students of ECS worked long and hard to not only entertain but also share the Gospel of Christ to Evangel Church attendees on Sunday, May 17, 2009. Featuring musical performances, dancers, testimonies, and scripture reading, the aim of the show was to please and please it did!
Highlights of the show included members of the school’s dance elective performing Hip-Hop to “Jump, Jump” and a lyrical piece to “God is Here.”
Music students wrote their own songs during music class this semester, and it was amazing to see these songs come to life!
One sixth grade students surprised his adoptive mother by sharing his testimony of being placed in a foster home and the process of being adopted. He expressed his gratitude to his Lord and Savior. God is awesome!
The Middle School student’s efforts showed and they did not disappoint! Check out the singers and dancers in action in our gallery!

In My 6th Grade class we have been talking about spiritual warfare, our enemy the devil and overcoming temptation. The 6th grade class has been really receptive and intrigued by the topic.

Our Middle School students finished their songs for the Spring Celebration and they were awesome. The lyrics to the selections were full of the Spirit. The songs chosen for the performance were: “Take Me, Take Me” sung by Manuela Agudelo and Karen Lopez; “The All and All of My Life” sung by Chantel Eaddy, Johannah Gepte, and Melany Farinango; “He Is Here” sung by Jonathan Snape; “God’s In Heaven” sung by Isaiah Sanchez, Adrian Villacorta, Ryan Poonai, Joseph Samaroo, Clyde Dichoso; and “Faith” sung by April Arbotante.

Students are finishing up the year learning about forces and motion. We have several exciting activities for this unit such as finding speed by testing the time it takes for different types of balls to travel a distance of 10 km and creating parachutes to test air resistance. Never a dull moment when it comes to gravity!

April was a busy month in the computer lab. One of the highlights was when the students were able to participate in Administrators Professional Day. Middle School and High School students made cards using Microsoft Publisher and later were presented to the staff. The students expressed their gratitude to these hard working individuals and used the computer lab to make these memories.
Mr. Miller
The greatest force to ever sweep across the globe was Christianity. Students spent time studying the persecution of Christians by Emperor Nero, how Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, and how Martin Luther led the Protestant Reformation in 1517.
Mr. Sanchez
Students learned that God is not merely concerned about our actions, but also our hearts. Students spent time discussing how they can better seek the Lord at home, at school, at church, and in their free time. If they yield their hearts to the Lord daily, God will give them the help to grow and obey.
Mr. Sanchez
We have just finished studying multiple meaning words. The students came up with many words that are spelled the same way but have different meanings. Some of the words they used were: train, bat, date, nail, and pound.

Middle School made posters this month and delivered them to our school administration in celebration of Administrative/ Professional”s Day. They also worked on mosaic images by using pieces of magazine advertisements to form a whole image. Totally Cool!
