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.

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.

Comparative Advantage
This past week students learned about comparative advantage and specialization by using our favorite sports figures. We learned that Babe Ruth had an absolute advantage in both pitching and hitting, but he specialized in hitting, because that’s what most benefited the team (comparative advantage).

Human Trafficking
Students discussed the heartbreaking issue of human trafficking: we focused on the supply and demand of trafficking, and talked about what we can do to stop it. For example, is it better to focus law enforcement efforts on the supply side (those who kidnap and sell others) or the demand side (the customers/buyers)? Students weighed in on their own opinions after studying the data and reading articles from various advocacy groups.

College Prep
The Seniors are splitting their time between computer class and their senior seminar, which is preparing them for college. Since time is short and the Seniors are busy folks, we’ve assigned some independent work projects due on June 4. They have chosen all sorts of things to work on and are really enjoying the projects. Some are making videos, while others are dissecting computers. Many students are learning office software, and one group is making an online comic for which they are making their own website!

Look at the light
Students have been studying light this month. They have investigated reflection and refraction. In their hands on activities they used a laser refraction tank in order to see and measure reflection & refraction. They were amazed to see these properties at work.

Which slice is the best deal
Students worked on trig this month and learned how to use the law of sines and cosines. They also learned how to find the area of a sector. This became extremely useful when they applied their new skills to determine the area of a slice of pizza and which slice was the best deal.
