Keep on Learning
Students in computer class have been learning about Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Many of the students started these units feeling they pretty much knew everything about these programs. Many of them have been blown away by how powerful and complex these programs actually are.
A Great Year
Math Classes from grades 8 – 11th completed a variety of art projects for math. Some students wrote poems, raps, and drew pictures about mathematical topics. Students also conducted an overall review of the academic year of 2009-2010.
We were able to reflect and discuss how we all have grown spiritually and naturally. We even laughed at each other and at the teacher. We discussed our funniest moments with each other in the classroom and out the classroom.
I pray that the Lord continues to bless all my students over the summer. They all have been blessings to me and it was a challenge and great joy to see them all progress according to his/her abilities.
I love all my students dearly and will continue to pray for them and their families as they move forward.

Congratulations
In December, 30 of our students entered writing pieces into the Association of Christian Schools International’s annual Creative Writing Festival. Two of those students, Alahna Dones (11th) and Angelie Cesario (8th), received marks of Superior (the highest possible) in the district level which qualified their poems to be sent to the regional level for adjudication.
We are proud to announce that at the regional level, Alahna Dones was awarded a Superior ribbon and Angelie Cesario was awarded with a mark of Excellent. Alahna’s spoken word poem entitled Freedom in Christ will be published in a book ACSI distributes to school’s across the country, while Angelie’s poem Tell, will be published online.
Congratulations to both Alahna and Angelie! Evangel is very proud of you!

Percents
We have been reviewing Algebra concepts this month. One in particular that students always seem to have trouble with are percents. We took a trip to a restaurant where students had to figure out what their bill would be when you added a 15% tip. They complained about the extra money but realized it was important to pay a tip and how you have to figure out how much you should pay. It was a great real life experience. As I always say, Math is everywhere.

Sparta
Most my students have seen the movie 300 times and because of it had an interest from the start on learning more about the lifestyles of the Spartans. My students then wrote a journal entry on what a day as a Spartan would feel like.

Mission’s Trip is Huge Success!
This year’s Mission’s Trip took place from may 30th to June 4th, at our very own CAMP EVANGEL located in Byrne, New York!!! Yipeeee! The students had a great time working around the community and “lending a helping hand”. This year we reached out to the local area and offered assistance in many different areas: a local hotel where we cleaned, and painted, a local cemetery where we replaced rocks and cleared brush, a local preserve where we fixed trails and cleared brush and trees, local community buildings where we scraped and painted, a local church where we cleaned , gardened and painted.
What a great time the students had sharing the love of God with the community. There was also lots of time to spend at the Camp having a blast!!! Students went kayaking, rode golf carts, walked up the mountain at night using light from torches, went to a local cave,camped outside and had huge campfires each night will sharing what the Lord had done.

Celebrating God’s Goodness
This year’s Spring Celebration took place on Monday, May24th and was a mixture of Elementary, Middle and High School students. Students performed skits, dramas, songs, and dances unto the Lord. What a great celebration it was and everyone was blessed – even the performers. Thanks to all for working so hard and glorifying God with the use of our talents.
Please see “Galleries” for lots of pictures!
NFL Running Back Blesses Evangel
Former Running Back, Lee Rouson, a two time Super Bowl Winner with the New York Giants was a guest speaker at our Middle School and High School Chapels. Lee shared his journey of faith and overcoming hardships. THrough it all, Lee remained faithful to the call of God in His life. Our students were inspired by his story of Hope and Triumph in Christ. Lee also emphasized that eventhough he has been tremendously successful, he identifies himself as a child of God and gives all the glory to Him. Mr. Rouson has been anexample to our children that “With God all things are possible.” We are so thankful to him for taking time out of his busy schedule to come and speak with our students.
Please see “galleries” for some great pics!
Fun Projects
Students will be constructing a variety of art projects for math. For the acuminating project, students will choose a personal favorite topic. They will construct a song, poem, or rap. The lyrics will be placed on small poster boards for display. They will also have an option to create a math game as an end of the year project.
