Microsoft Projects
11th and 12th grade have 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 are working on assignments for Mr. Hernandez, our college preparation guidance counselor. They are researching scholarships and making college applications and resumes.

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.

I AM…
12th Grade continues its survey of the New Testament. We are currently looking at the book of John, exploring the rich imagery of Jesus’ I Am statements. Jesus the Bread of Life; the Light of the World; the Door for the sheep; the Good shepherd; the Resurrection and the Life; the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and the Vine. It is our hope that the richness of these God-breathed names and their implications will inspire fresh devotion and impart new life.

Laws of Motion
Seniors have been studying forces and the Laws of Motion. They have crashed toy cars into walls. They have used stuffed animals and rubber bands to simulate the effects of not wearing seat belts and the benefits of wearing one.

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!!!

November Update
November is a wonderful month. Many students have caught on to the study skills and are using time more effectively. Those who have been bringing in copies of their classes from Edline are progressing beautifully. This month will promote Resource as a Prepared Zone, a Mutual Respect Zone and a No NC Zone. On the lighter side the vocabulary game Blurt has been re-introduced to many of the students at the end of Spirit week. For our Thanksgiving bulletin board we talked about the different ways in which people perceive love and care; from the discussion Thanksgiving cornucopias were created using interesting, complex sentences that tie into thankful thoughts about what is meaningful to individual students. Finally, November is the time in which we encourage students to Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3

Posters
We worked on Do’s and Don’ts posters this month. The students, in groups, picked a topic of their choice such as “Improving your English” then created posters and presented their thoughts. Some advice from the ESL classroom on improving your English! Do make friends who speak English. Learn the local culture. But don’t stress too much and never give up! All posters are displayed in the classroom. Here are other topics the students came up with: Getting Good Grades, Losing Weight, Building Good Friendships, and Staying Healthy.
