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.

Butterflies are Free to Fly
In conjunction with our insect unit, 4th grade has been learning about the life cycle of butterflies. In addition to our Science textbooks we have been observing actual butterfly larvae in our classroom! We watched as baby caterpillars ate and grew larger, turned into golden chrysalis’, and eventually emerged as beautiful butterflies. This week we released these amazing creatures that God has created back into their natural environment and watched as they flew into the sky. It was awesome!

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.

Ronald McDonald Promotes Literacy
“Literacy” was the theme that was emphasized during Ronald’s visit to Evangel on Tuesday, May 19, 2010. The students sang songs, saw a puppet show and had a great time learning about “Book Time” and the love of reading. Ronald encouraged our students not to “play the day away, but to grab a good book and go on an adventure!” We are very grateful to McDonald’s for sending Ronald to our K-5th grade students to share how important it is to love reading and to read books with excitement!! We can’t wait until he comes to visit us again!!!!!! Thank you to the McDonalds Corporation for their generosity in choosing our school for their community outreach efforts.

Over 1,000 people cam to Evangel on Thursday, March18 to experience our Annual Academic Fair. Students in PK through 12th grade, worked for 2 and one half months to create a Research Paper, Project and Project Board for our fair. Students picked a topic of their choice from a variety of subjects such as: Science, English, Bible, Home Economics, Fashion, Art, Design, Technology, Math, Music, History, etc…
As you entered the school you experienced the sound of music, the smell of delicious foreign foods cooking, students super excited to share about their projects, dancing, acting, singing and so much more. Although the Academic Fair was a lot of work, it was well worth it.
We thank all the parents, students and staff for their hard work to make this year’s Academic Fair a HUGE success. We look forward to next year and if you didn’t make it this year we look forward to seeing you then.
Please check out our PHOTOBLOG and GALLERIES for some fantastic pics.

Winter Wonderland
We had an amazing time at our Literacy Day: Winter Wonderland. Our Reading Room was transformed into a real life winter scene. We had snowflakes of every size and shape suspended from the ceiling, an igloo constructed by one of our 5th graders and the song Walking in a Winter Wonderland playing in the background as our students entered. Our Elementary school students sang songs and were read incredible winter storybooks such as The Tiny Snowflake, The Little Snowflake, and Winter Rabbit. We watched a special Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr., which talked about snowflakes. Students drew pictures and answered questions based on what they learned from the video.
However, the best part of the day, and all the students will agree, had to be when upper elementary played a game called Build Your Own Snow woman. Each class was split into three groups and had about two minutes to decorate teachers and aides as snow women. They used a roll of toilet paper and a whole lot of creativity. It was yet another successful, fun Literacy Day for all! Happy Reading!
