NHS and NJHS
On Tuesday, May 22nd, we conducted our National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society Ceremony. This ceremony is beautiful as students carry during the processional and recessional. We are very proud to have inducted 95 new members to NHS and 13 NJHS. We welcomed back 100 NHS and NJHS members from last year. Both Societies worked very hard on their service project, raising money through bake sales and other means. Students were delighted to take what they had raised to the different institutions. What a blessing to be able to bless others. Please click on the BLUE inserts for our Program.
Here is a little history about the National Honor Society and the criteria for selection:
When the National Honor Society was founded in 1921, the hope was to create an organization that would recognize and encourage high school students’ academic achievement while developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. The National Junior Honor Society was founded shortly thereafter-in 1929 to recognize middle school students in the same areas. Now, over 80 years later, these Societies have become prestigious organizations with outstanding faculty members and students from the school community. Their reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved. Membership is thus both an honor and a commitment.

The night was filled with excitement, smells of food from different countries, dances, singing, and so much more. We were honored to have with us Ms. Gloria Gaynor, famous for the song “I will survive”. Also, Mr. Michael Strawberry, brother of Darryl Strawberry, a former major-leauger, was able to attend and spend some time with our students. We are seriously honored to have had all the parents and students, families, friends, alumni, associates and partners that were able to attend.
We are so very proud of all of our students and we thank all the parents, staff and students for all of their hard work.

High School Christmas Program:
“The Colors of Christmas” was a new direction this year for our high school. Students were able to see that each color had a meaning that illustrated God’s love and mercy on us as He sent His son to be born and one day die for us. The poems and testimonies that were shared by our high school brought about the true meaning of the season. God is using our students to spread the gospel literally around the world.

New Holidays
Amidst the rigors of learning how to use past perfect or simple past tense; changing gerund phrases to infinitives; learning challenging vocabulary and creating sensory word banks the international students have had an enriching time. Many experienced Thanksgiving and Christmas for the first time. Middle School listened to the radio drama about the life of Tisquantum and through his life they learned what Satan meant for evil God worked out for good. It led to good discussions about what happens when misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures. The Christmas season was especially blessed with an invitation to a Christmas Tea hosted by the Hephzibah House Ministry in their authentic Victorian brownstone. They served a variety of festive refreshments and a special tea poured from a camel shaped teapot. Best of all, students were touched by the testimonies of international college students and the thoughtfulness of all who ministered there. We are all looking forward to what the New Year will bring.

New Vocabulary
The beginning of school has been quite exciting in ESL with over fifty students from all over the world acclimating to a Christ centered school. The Middle School and High school students have been increasing their conversational English through group activities related to their workbooks. Spiritual Emphasis Week became an impetus for many students to learn for the first time words many of us take for granted such as sanctuary, redemption, praise, glory and audacity. It also became a special time to learn how to question and write reflectively. Our latest projects were for International Week; students made presentations with either posters or power points describing where they grew up, comparing and contrasting their hometown with New York City, and predicting where they will be in ten years. The best part was listening to the students ask questions in English about each other’s hometown. It was very enriching for all and enlightening to me.

International Week at Evangel was filled with diversity an a unique blend of rich cultures. Over 73 different nationa are represented at Evangel and how awesome it is to share about our heritage with eachother.
Each day of the week was filled with something new… from wearing the colors of our flags, to country costumes, to food and desserts from our homelands. Each new student gets tpplace a marker in our wall map to represent where they are form.
We are so blessed at Evangel and we thank God for blessing us with such diversity.

The seniors enjoyed the day in lower Manhattan as they learned about the history of the Federal Hall Museum. Students got to see the piece of railing that our first president, George Washington, stood behind as he took his oath of office. They also got to see the ground he stood upon as he was sworn into office. Students also had the privilege of seeing ground zero and the progress of the freedom tower. It was a great trip and a way for history to be brought to life for our students.
October 26th to the 30th was Spirtual Emphasis week at Evangel. Students had an amazing week during our Spiritual Emphasis week. Our younger students learned how God loves them just the way they are. They alsocompleted crafts and sang songs each day with our theme, “Panadamania.” The students are continuing to learn that God is “wild” about us! Our older students had an amazing week as our speakers, Ron and Heather Rhoads flew in for the week to share the love of God through the Word and song. Many students responded to the message that was given each day and we are blessed as a staff to see the seeds being planted in our students’ lives.
