Our National Honor Society has been working diligently on fundraising for Cancer research. We have had several bake sales and just recently hosted our first after school Game Day, where students were allowed to play video and board games. One of our upcoming events is a Ping Pong tournament which is sure to bring in a crowd!
If you are interested in making a donation towards this worthy cause, please see Aileen Torres, Activities Director in Room 104.
Our goal is to reach $1,000 by May 1st.

As overseer of Chapel, it has been my desire to see the hearts of our students be drawn closer to our Lord and Savior. The Lord has been faithful to hear my heart’s cry. There has been such a growth and hunger in our students to worship God and carry out His purpose for their lives. From Elementary to High School, there has been steady growth and our Spiritual Focus for the year has truly been our anthem:
Philippians 3:13 NIV
“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Please continue to pray for our chapel services. We need to continue to ask God to open our children’s hearts and minds, we need the Lord to anoint our worship teams and we need God to empower every speaker who shares.

Several of our High School classes have visited the Bowery Mission, a 200 year old Christian mission that provides food and care for New York’s homeless. The students ran several chapel services where they ministered in song, spoken word, drama and shared personal testimonies of God’s love, hope and peace. At the end of every service, students distributed cards made by our Elementary School students. It was amazing to see the faces of these men and women light up by such a small gesture of love. Our student’s experienced first hand what was spoken of in Matthew 25:40, when Jesus said, “I tell you with certainty, since you did it for one of the least important of these brothers of Mine, you did it for Me.”
Though it was our mission to be a blessing to the men and women of the Bowery Mission, we can say full heartedly, that we always leave the Mission feeling we received more than we gave.

Check out “Galleries” for some great pictures.
Exponential terms are all around us; whether in the medical or scientific field, or from an historic point of view, exponents surround us. Counting cells, counting days, counting people, counting anything, can be done using exponents! How much do we earn each year? What’s the difference between $3.2 x 10² and $3.2 x 10³? The difference is $28,800!!!

In Math, students will be focusing on graphing linear equations and functions. Students just completed working on equations, ratios and proportions.

March is the month that tests many things especially discipline and heart. Winter is waning and the end of school getting closer. Students must get recharged out of the winter blues, be persevering at staying on task with schoolwork as well as deal with the usual winter illnesses. March is also an exciting month because of the Academic Fair, March 19th. This is a great time for students to shine who are not always the top of the class academically. It allows creativity and performance skills to blossom. It even benefits those students the most who are willing to work as a team with parent and teachers to study, write about, and present their topic and project of interest. We can all benefit from remembering: Galatians 6:9,”Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” and Ecclesiastes 9:10,”Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.”

Evangel’s freshmen took a journey through 6 short pieces of literature in order to investigate the use of 7 major literary elements: plot, point of view, characterization, style, setting, symbolism, and theme. Using that as a foundation for the wonderful world of reading logs, vocabulary journals, and Socratic discussion, students will begin reading Ted Dekker’s “Blink of an Eye”.

In February, we explored Capitulo 14 that deals with “La Tienda”(“The Store”).
The vocabulary learned has dealt with shopping and items that we can purchase at various stores. As a project, the students had to create a store brochure or flyer and label various articles using the vocabulary words learned in class.

The students began the semester off returning back to Ancient Asia. Ancient China is a wonderfully exciting topic as it is so rich in culture and history. Once again due to my travels in China, in the summer of 2007, I have been able to infuse my own personal accounts of China and my travels there into our discussions. In addition, we looked over pictures and artifacts which I had acquired while I was abroad. The students seem to enjoy hearing personal accounts and are very eager to learn more about this foreign culture. As an assignment, I had the students make their own mock journal diary of Marco Polo. They had to pretend as if they had discovered some foreign city and culture; some students have quite the imagination.
Mr. Fowler
We did a project in Bible class where the students wrote down things they wanted to see changed in their own lives. We took the requests and put them in an envelope for them to receive at the end of the school year. This will allow them to see if there has been any growth or change from now to end of the school year, and also for students to see the powerful effects of prayer!
God Bless,
Ms. Ramos
