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.

College Level
We have journeyed through Castilla and Leon with the honorable legendary knight, El CID of Vivar. Now join us for adventure with Don Quixote of La Mancha. Who is Don Quixote de la Mancha? In brief words, it is the main character in the famous work written by Miguel de Cervantes, also known as the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance. Together, we shall battle windmills!

Old Testament Study
11th Grade is currently exploring the book of Exodus. Through looking at the plagues, passover, the exodus, and the giving of the law and the tabernacle, we continue to see the unfolding of God’s sovereign plan to save, preserve, and purify a special people, by his mighty power, for his own glory.

Microsoft Office
11th and 12th grade have just finished their first independent learning project, completing lessons and a final creative product in one of four Microsoft office programs. Their final products turned out wonderfully. During the second term, they will be working on assignments for Mr. Hernandez, our college preparation guidance counselor.

Ionic Compounds
Chemistry students have been studying ionic compounds. They have learned how ionic compounds form and how to name these compounds. In lab they have created crystal structures out of clay.
Algebra 2
Juniors are currently studying quadratic functions. They have learned how to graph, factor, and solve these equations. Students have also encountered imaginary numbers for the first time. They were very surprised to find that after they completed all the practice by hand that their calculators could also handle imaginary numbers.

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!!!

Finger Prints
We have just finished several chapters on lab equipment. The class learned about the need for mass spectrometers, comparison microscopes and fingerprint analysis. On Friday’s lab we learned how to finger print another person and how to characterize their prints as Arches, Loops or Whorls. The juniors discovered how unique their individual fingerprints were compared to other students and also to their own fingers.
