Hi, my name is Norma Pascualini and I am a new teacher here at Evangel. I feel very blessed to be given the opportunity to be a part of this great ministry. I hope to positively influence my students, not just academically, but also spiritually. My prayer is that together we would all grow in every area of our lives, as Christ would have us.I am a graduate of Jimmy Swaggert Bible College and have taught extensively in different areas of ministry. I have participated in a lot of missions work abroad, specifically in Spanish speaking countries. I also recently completed an intensive 2 year leadership course in Spanish designed to minister more effectively to God’s people and the world.
I am currently teaching 6th and 7th Grade Bible courses and 6th , 9th and 11th Spanish. We will be discovering new and exciting things this school year, in Bible as well as in Spanish and I will do my best to make it interesting and challenging for my students.

National Honor Society & National Junior Honor Society
Induction and Recognition Ceremony
May 29, 2008 7:00pm
This was a beautiful candlelighting ceremony where we recognized 30 NHS members and inducted 9 new NHS members. There were 16 NJHS members that were recognized and 26 new NJHS members were inducted. The four High School Officers each read about one of the four characteristics that represent the National Honor Society. All new inductees were pinned. 12th and 8th grade officers received Honor Cords, and all seniors received Honor Stoles to be worn at gradauation. The members and new inductees pledged to always honor the Truth of God. Candles were then lit by Seniors and all members marched down the aisle. We are very proud of all of our members.
Each group must work on a project in which they reach out to the community. NJHS raised money for autism and actually got to meet the little girl they raised money to help. NHS raised money to purchase clothes and toys and delivered them to a single mother’s shelter. Each group was truly blessed to be able to reach out and share God’s love.

June 24 – 7:00pm Grades 6-12
What an incredible evening with over 360 in attendance. What a great time we had honoring our students academic achievements. Each year we center our Banquet around a theme. This year our theme was “Finding a pearl of great price”. The Fellowship Hall was”decked our” in an underwater theme. It looked fantastic! Students need only achieve Honor Roll status for one quarter to be honored. It was Italian night as we feasted on all types of pasta: Stuffed Shells, Pasta Primavera, Lasagne, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Baked Ziti, Pasta and Broccoli, Tri Color Pasta Salad and Rolls. Mmmmm Good! 127 Trophies were given out in 6 different categories. Pastor addressed us and spurred us onward. He also shared that we would begin to build the new High School in the Spring. A cheer went up from the crowd and all glory was given to the Lord.
Seventh grade presented itself with a lot of challenges. We moved from everyday social language into studying the language itself. The verbs are difficult, the nouns have rules, adjective have to agree with the nouns, our pet “bee” Sparky, flew out the window, twice; the list goes on. We worked at it, a lot, and we made it. We had fun in the process and learned new things and new games. We are ready for whatever the eight grade brings.
Our Math classes transitioned using visual mathematics along with math computation and word problems from textbooks. This was to prepare the students for SATs and Finals. 6th & 7th – Math curriculum consisted of Visual Mathematics I. Students were introduced to the art of questioning. This is to produce thinking.
8th – Math Curriculum consisted of Visual mathematics II. This was challenging. The students were using high levels of critical thinking. Middle School students were challenged to make observation and work with manipulatives to prove their theories and thought process. Students worked in groups and in pairs. Later in the year, middle school math transitioned to Math Computation. Visual Math helped prepare them for computation from the perspective of understanding mathematical concepts and not just traditional rote memory of computations. The highlight of 7th grade was in one class I had a piece of chocolate cake and I spoon fed each student. God demonstrated math for us that day in how you can divide one item into a number of parts. All of middle school created their own math games.
We learned about many new and exciting things in Science this year.. Through the several labs, students learned about fingerprints, cell division, genetics, and more. Students also had to choose their favorite parts after each chapter and create fascinating projects about them. Thank you all for a wonderful and crazy yearJ! Mr. West
In November we went on a trip to Petco Land. There we picked a new class pet: a beta fish. One of our students, Luis Velez, volunteered to take care of the fish during holidays in the school year. Thanks a lot Luis!

During this school year our class worked on various projects. After each chapter, students would choose their favorite part or what they had learned about the chapter. Projects were hung proudly in the classroom for all to see and learn. We also completed projects for Women’s Month and President’s Day. The election was one of our most interesting subjects. Students picked which party they felt they would like to vote for Democrat/Republican. We also learned about our judicial systems and how the United States grew to become an amazing country.
