Chronicles of Narnia-The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Our 5th through 12th grade students had the privalege of viewing the new movie, “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” We were able to secure the entire theater exclusively for our students. We had a great time with snacks and viewing this new movie based upon C.S. Lewis’s books, “Chronicles of Narnia.” After we returned, students discussed the Christian Symbolism represented in the Bible! It was awesome!
Step Up Your Faith
January 3rd- January 7th
“Step up You Faith,” the theme for the week, encouraged students to go a step further in their walk with God. Middle School and High School students were challenged with speakers each day to take their faith to the next level. Our Elementary students looked at a different bible stories each day as well as completed crafts to encourage them to “step up their faith.” Our memory verse for the week was Luke 17:5-6
Lets Talk About God
In ESL we have been focusing on improving our speaking skills and because the textbook doesn’t always offer the most interesting or relevant topics, we came up with our own topic for the month of December. Remembering the true meaning of Christmas, students wrote questions they had about who God is or anything about Christianity and we picked one question in the beginning of each class. Students came up with great questions such as: Why did God allow evil to exist? Why didn’t he get rid of it all? Or I want to know how to be a real Christian, not just study in a Christian school. A lot of our thoughts and answers pointed towards Jesus and it was a great way to celebrate Christmas even through a speaking activity.

Boxes of Love
During Fall Spirit Week, November15-19, MS and HS students participated in a canned food drive as part of their class competitions. Students were excited at the opportunity to win points for their class while helping needy families. In all, we collected 130 cans and were able to help feed 30 families for the holidays. We are extremely happy with the results and very proud of our students for focusing on the value of giving.
Working with the color wheel
Each middle school student created a complementary color geometric study – that is, they used opposite colors and straight-line only shapes, experimenting with the many tints and shades of red and green, which are opposite colors on the color wheel. They also prepared for the Christmas season by making homemade, decorated Christmas cards out of construction paper, miniature templates, markers and glitter.

Wonderful Joy
Our Middle School students shined as they presented “Wonerful Joy.” Students worked hard on beautiful poems that displayed the true meaning of Christmas. They shared songs, dances, writings and dramas that demonstrated the wonderful joy that was given to us through Jesus Christ. Every part of the production was meaningful and really gave the audience a new presepective on what “Wonderful Joy” really means.

Diligence
This month we studied different character traits such as diligence and how effective prayer should be in our everyday life. At the end of the month the students did a Character study of a biblical character of their choosing.

Excel
Lower Middle School has been learning some really cool tools in Excel, counting m&m’s, bouncing balls, and birthdays to learn how to record data and create graphs of different kinds. They enjoyed how easy it is, and many of them plan to use Microsoft Excel’s amazing functions for their next academic fair project.

Spirit Week
I was impressed with how many students in both elementary and middle school entered a drawing, painting or collage of our school mascot, the eagle, in the first ever Spirit Week art contest here at Evangel. Thanks for participating, guys!
