A Poem For Mom
For Mother’s day our students had to utilize their creative abilities to write poetry for their caretaker. They also enjoyed purchasing affordable gifts at the school for Mother’s day.

Let’s Run
Our students couldn’t wait for the Jog-a-thon. They enjoyed working on their class banner. The Jog-a-thon was not only an opportunity for our second graders to raise funds for the school, but it was also a time where they could get a work out and have fun with their friends. Most of the students were amazed at how many laps they were able to run. They enjoyed seeing their teachers running along side of them cheering them on. It was a fun day of laughter and excitement.

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!

Season Champions
As the season approached us, the excitement for baseball’s return to Evangel was so strong that it was hard not to expect great things. And as the head coach, I can say our Eagles did accomplish great things. We came into the season with many questions about how we would look as a team and how the competition would be in our league. We finished in first place (Season Champions) with an 8-2 record. In the semi-finals we fought hard and received 2nd Place by an extra inning game to Brooklyn Friends. To add to our teams success, our captain Ronald Barillas was honored with the league MVP award.
In our teams very first meeting, I told them I was looking for a group of guys who would help me build the foundation to a successful high school baseball program that honors the Lord. As I look forward to the upcoming season, I say proudly that Evangel Christian School is now running a respected baseball program that gives all the glory to God.
Giving all the glory to Jesus Christ,
Coach Berrios
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.
