Middle School
6th grade made a monochrome study and then re-created that drawing with paint, using black for shade and white for tint. All middle school students learned many technical artistic terms and can mix almost every single color imaginable from the three basic primary colors! 7th Grade broadened their repertoire by creating custom-made ink, oil pastel and chalk drawings, while 8th graders posed for each other for gesture and contour drawings.

December
December is a magnificent month as we reflect on the coming of our precious savior. This month we encouraged students to not only keep this a No NC Zone but also a to create a Mutual Respect Zone in which students not only refrain from saying anything hurtful or disrespectful about others but also make a point of blessing those around them. Many created a 3-dimensional star on which they wrote a reflective statement about a gift that God has given to them that and how they can use that gift to bless others Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2

Tourism
After finishing a chapter on traveling, each student picked a country to do a power point presentation on tourism. It was a virtual tour of students’ hometowns and popular tour destinations. It was an exciting project where students brought the world into the classroom by introducing diverse cuisines, outdoor activities, and landmarks.

Self-Control
This month we went through chapters 10-15 studying about the importance of having self-control, humility and order in our lives. We ended the month with a fun class project where the students had to create a rebus story about thanksgiving. A rebus story is where you have to write the story using symbols. There are many creative students in the 7th grade and I believe they had a lot of fun with this project.
Family
November was a very exciting month en la clase de Espanol. Students learned about things around their home and family structure. They learned about the importance of family in the Hispanic community.
Life Science
Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is really a fun word to learn and a difficult subject for students to grasp quickly. DNA is the double helix strand that is present in all living cells that has the information for a cell to replicate or keep a living person going with all the traits that God has given us. Students learn that there are 4 types of nucleotides. These nucleotides are: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. These nucleotides in combination with sugar and phosphate are the structure of DNA.

Mavis Beacon
6th and 7th are finishing a unit of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. We started by taking a preliminary speed test, then practiced for several weeks, and took another speed test. Many of the students improved greatly in their typing rates. They are on track to become the fastest typists around!

A Week of Fun and Spirit!
Spirit Week was AMAZING this year! All of Middle School and High School participated in trying to win points which made Spirit Week very enjoyable. Spirit Week was based on a point system this year: everything that took place counted as points toward every class that participated. Throughout the week, we had many contests going on. We had a Coin Contest, a Can Drive, a Door Decorating Contest, and a Shopping Cart Contest. We started off with “Tis’ the Season” on Monday, on which students dressed as their favorite symbol from their favorite holiday. We had students coming in dressed as everything from Christmas trees with ornaments and lights hanging from their clothes to soldiers in army clothes as a tribute to Veterans’ Day. Monday was also our Game Day for middle school. Sixth through eighth grade competed against each other in trying to rack up points to win Spirit Week. We played games such as the Cracker Whistle Relay, Bug Hunt, and Root Beer Chug-a-Lug. Tuesday was “Crazy Shirt and Tie Day.” Students were challenged to find their old clothes and tacky ties to show-off to their friends and the school. Tuesday was also our Game Day for high school in which we played games similar to Middle School’s Game Day! Wednesday was “Multiplicity” Day; students were asked to team up with their friends and match up with clothes, so that they would look like twins, triplets, or even quadruplets! Thursday was “Spirit” Day. Evangel students came in dressed in Evangel colors – blue, white, and gray. Last two periods on Thursday was our fall Pep Rally! Middle School and High School cheered on our Girls Varsity Volleyball Team, Boys Junior Varsity Basketball Team, Girls Varsity Basketball Team, and Boys Varsity Basketball Team. We congratulate our Girls Varsity Volleyball Team for their Undefeated Regular Season! We finished off our incredible week with “Formal Friday;” the day on which students came in to school with their fanciest dresses and spiffiest suits. Friday was also our Air Band Contest which was another way for students to rack up points. Despite the LOADS of entertainment, our Spirit Week, sadly, had to come to an end… However, the Senior Class of 2011 came in 1ST PLACE because they scored the most points!!! Tenth grade came in 2nd, eleventh grade came in 3rd, and ninth grade came in 4th. All in all, this Spirit Week was ASTOUNDING and UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL!! Thank the LORD!!!
