Elementary School’s Christmas Program took place on Friday, December 12, 2008 – “Through the Eyes of the Friendly Beasts”. Third through fifth grade elective classes performed the drama, dance and chorus part of the program. Pre-school were dressed up as the world’s cutest angels. Kindergartners were the kings and brought gifts to Baby Jesus. First and second graders were shepherds out in the fields keeping watch over their flocks.
This program had us view the Christmas Story through the eyes of the animals that were present that Holy Night. The Sanctuary was filled with parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and many friends. Over 700 were in attendance.
Please check out “Galleries” to view some really cute pictures.
We are so excited about our very first auctions. We had so much fun as Mr. Marko auctioned of many wonderful items. One parent shared this with Mrs. Marko, “I had so much fun.” We auctioned gift baskets full of books, visits to the spa, children’s videos, baked goodies and much more. We even auctioned a bike, a scooter, tickets to Sight and Dound, and meals for two and various restaurants.
We raised over $3,700.00 to purchase projectors for our classrooms. A special thank you to Mrs. Heather Cortes for all of her hard work in organizing this event. Thank you to all of our parents for buying their Christmas gifts a the auction. We are looking forward to the second half of our auction on Wednesday Night, December 17th.

Our Middle School Program called “Love, Joy and Peace” took place on Monday, December 15, 1008 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. What an awesome time we had.Jesus was honored in many ways on Monday night. Traditional Christmas Carols lifted His Name. Poems about love, joy and peace were written by Middle Schoolers and read during the program. There was an extremely touching drama performed about to the song “Agnus Dei”. The students worked hard and God was glorified and lifted up.
Please check out galleries for great pictures.
Goooooooo EAGLES! Cheering, Pompoms, Pictures Flashing, Team Members, and Plays were all part of our Pep Rally. this was all part of our Spirit Week Students in 6-12 grades had very special days the week of November 17-21.

Make sure to check out our “Galleries” to view lots of adorable pictures.
This year instead of fighting with the weather and rescheduling our fundraiser (Jog-A-Thon) several times, we are going to have fun inside! This year we are going to have our first Bowl-A-Thon! Pre-K and Kindergarten students will have fun bowling at the ECS Bowling Alley (aka the school gym). Grades 1-12 will be going to Whitestone Lanes and bowl two games. Because of the size of our school we will be going on several days.
Information and labels went home the first week in November. All you have to do is send in names and addresses (like you did with the Jog-A-Thon)and we will send out sponsor letters.
This will be a fun way for all students to help raise needed funds for our school. (Parents can also raise money toward their fundraising fee.)
Go to our Galleries for some great pics.
Our first book fair took place on Oct. 2nd, students had a great time looking at the wonderful books and the volunteers did a great job helping them choose the “right book” for them! Thanks to all the parents that helped and made this event a great success. We raised $975 in books and equipment for the Library!!

National Honor Society & National Junior Honor Society
Induction and Recognition Ceremony
May 29, 2008 7:00pm
This was a beautiful candlelighting ceremony where we recognized 30 NHS members and inducted 9 new NHS members. There were 16 NJHS members that were recognized and 26 new NJHS members were inducted. The four High School Officers each read about one of the four characteristics that represent the National Honor Society. All new inductees were pinned. 12th and 8th grade officers received Honor Cords, and all seniors received Honor Stoles to be worn at gradauation. The members and new inductees pledged to always honor the Truth of God. Candles were then lit by Seniors and all members marched down the aisle. We are very proud of all of our members.
Each group must work on a project in which they reach out to the community. NJHS raised money for autism and actually got to meet the little girl they raised money to help. NHS raised money to purchase clothes and toys and delivered them to a single mother’s shelter. Each group was truly blessed to be able to reach out and share God’s love.
As “Pomp and Circumstance” began to play there wasn’t a “dry eye in the house”. hs-program-2008 Twenty-four seniors walked down the aisle to recieve their diplomas. This truly is a very special twelfth grade class. There were over 500 people in attendance and excitement was “definitely in the air.” Our Dance Instructor, Isabel Rosario, danced to the song “In Christ Alone”. As she danced we were reminded: “In Christ alone, I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the cross. In every victory, let it be said of me, ‘my source of strength, my source of hope, is Christ alone.'” Mr. Prawel, their homeroom teacher, shared an awesome message with the graduates. Students were challenged to honor the Lord in all that they do. They were also challenged to “be a light” wherever they may go. Awards were given 2008-hs-awardsand diplomas received. Each graduate was given their very own Bible, embossed with their name, as a gift. Valedicatoirian, Jennifer Wong, and Salutatorian, Andrea Basto, also challenged the class and “spurred them on in the Lord.” Paul Rezkalla, the Class Representative, lit the class candle signifying carrying Jesus with them. God was truly glorified at this graduation.
We love you and we will miss you dearly. We pray God’s bleassing over you as you go.
