Spanish Class
In November, students read national current events for knowledge advancement. The students are doing a great job!

Earth Science Lab
The experiments of the 10th grade lab class explore why certain incidents have happened on earth and how they have occurred. Some have been previously reported by meteorologists. Our students have interpreted glacial landscapes with a topographical map, performed experiments to determine the permeability of different types of soils, and tracked Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 hurricane which made landfall in the United States. Yet another experiment which the 10th grade has performed is calculating density, and accurately predicting whether an object and any size of the presented material will sink or float in water. The materials presented to them included aluminum, brass, copper, oak, pine, steel, PVC, Polypropylene, acrylic and others. Perhaps density could be calculated for a material not on the list for the given lab. That is what experiments are for. Did someone say gold? Did someone say planet earth? You would be amazed to see how easy it is to calculate the density of gold, earth, and a variety of irregular shaped objects and how it relates to life! With extra minutes in lab class, the experiments and discoveries are endless!

Computer Class
The 10th grade classes have been using Microsoft Power Point to show their creative side. They designed 2 slides each, for our whole class slide show, which reveals what they consider to be most important thing to them. We have also begun practicing questions for the Earth Science, Global studies and Geometry regents which they will take in June 2010. The students are practicing their on-line researching skills along with their ability to site internet sources correctly when they use information from a site.

Bible Class
Students are continuing their knowledge of the Beattitudes. They are focusing on what it is to hunger and thirst for righteousness. They are realizing that when we strive for things on this earth, it is only temporal, instead we are learning to pursue things that will last us for eternity. They are enjoying class and we are looking forward to a trip after the break where we go out and feed the homeless. It is important for them to not only learn how to act but to do the actions as well.

This year’s Spirit Week has been the best so far! Our Middle School and High School students showed tremendous school spirit by participating in this event. Monday was “Flashback Day”. Students were able to dress up in clothing from a different era. We had students represent the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, and earlier periods. This was absolutely the best way to kick off a fun-filled week. Tuesday we had “Multiplicity Day.” Students were able to dress alike as twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc. We even had a pair of students dressed as the Super Mario Brothers! On Wednesday we had “Wacky Hair, Feet and Wear Day”. Students dressed up in the most wackiest outfits they could find! Some walked in with colored wigs, others in oversized glasses, mismatched clothing, etc. Thursday was our “Pep Rally Day” a day we supported our athletic teams by representing our school colors. Friday we wrapped up the week’s festivities with a “Formal Day” in which students dressed to nines in suits, tuxedos, prom dresses. One of our students even wore a wedding dress! Our students showed tremendous school spirit and we look forward to making more great memories at Evangel Christian School in this upcoming school year.

Faces Painted, School Colors, Pom Poms, Screaming, Yelling, Balloons, Contests, and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Fun – this describes our Pep Rally on Thursday, November 19th. Our athletes were greeted by loud cheers as they crashed through homemade signs. Students were so excited and full of School Spirit as they adorned blue and silver garland and had Mrs. Kemp and Mrs. Arnau paint beautiful eagles on their faces. Our athletes were spurred on to “be the best that they can be” this year. A great big “thank you” to Mr. Wong, our Athletic Director, for making this year’s Pep Rally such a huge success.

Resource Room
November is a wonderful month. Students are now finding out what is really hard for them and what is easy. Many are studying and using time more effectively. Those who have been bringing in copies of their classes from Edline are some of the students who have progressed the most. However some students are finding out the consequences of poor study habits verses good study habits. This month I will focus on test corrections, remediation and encouraging them to”… press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14

Advanced Geometry
The geometry students are currently proving triangles are congruent. They have learned to use 2 column proofs as well as coordinate proofs. They are currently investigating triangle properties.

Operation Christmas Child Visits Evangel
Operation Christmas Child, a ministry under Samaritan’s Purse, asks people to fill shoe boxes with items and love yearly, to distribute to children in need around the world. From basic essentials like toothbrushes and bars of soap to fun activities like crayons and flash cards, people around the world give a little bit of hope to children who may not otherwise have any.
Evangel Christian School continued our tradition of packing shoe boxes. On Friday, November 13th we dedicated these shoe boxes to the Lord at our chapel services. Students shared testimonies about what packing a shoebox meant to them. We prayed that these shoe boxes would reach their destinations and that the child whose hand a shoebox landed in would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
We then received the honor of having a film crew from Operation Christmas Child come to Evangel on Tuesday, November 17th to film our students praying over their shoe boxes. Selected students also went up to our roof to shoot various plugs for OCC! This footage will be used in future Operation Christmas Child promotional videos. How exciting! The OCC film crew and staff were impressed with our children’s enthusiasm and the abundance of shoe boxes collected. Colorful posters and even some students wearing self-made t-shirts graced the sanctuary for all to know that Evangel loves Operation Christmas Child!
In total, 211 shoeboxes were packed and more than $800 (that could be visibly seen in a shoebox) in donations were collected. These donations cover the shipping costs for each of the shoe boxes.
More than 69 million children world-wide have been impacted by Operation Christmas Child and Evangel is so proud to be a part of this. Check out pictures from our chapel and the film crew coming to visit in the Galleries section of our website!
We pray that many children will be blessed this Christmas season! Thanks to everyone who helped to make this event a success!
