What would you do if your parents lost their jobs and they could not afford to buy you a gift for your birthday?Here what Second Graders said.
Julia Moises: I don’t need a gift because God gave her (mom) to me and she’s a gift to me. I should love and obey her. Even if they (parents) get mad they still love me.
Kayla DeJesus: My mom gave me a gift of loving me and helping me with my homework because she loves me forever.

The Creative Writing Festival is an annual event held by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) where students can use their written talents to express themselves. Entries are first judged on a district level and those receiving a score of “Superior” (the highest possible) are then sent to the regional level.
Evangel had the honor of having three of our students sent to the regional adjudication. On the regional level, each of these three received marks of “Excellent” and therefore will be showcased in a Creative Writing Booklet published by the ACSI Northeast Regional Office.
The students are Jennifer Munoz of 4L, Lauren Vicuna of 8F, and Stephanie Reis of 11C. We are so proud of their hard work and congratulate them on their expressive writing!Mrs. Candelier
The seniors have finished they year by studying electricity. They have constructed series and parallel circuits and observed the results of making changes to the circuit.

The juniors have been learning about acids and bases. They have tested various household products to see which category they would fall into. They have also used various indicators to determine the pH of these items.
Mrs. Wong
The seniors have been working hard to prepare for the Math B regents. They are completing regents and reviewing. They are definitely up to the task.
Mrs. Wong
The juniors have spent some time on complex fraction. They are currently studying the six trig functions and using them to solve real world problems.
Mrs. Wong
The sophomores have been moving forward with Algebra 2 in preparation for next years regents. They have evaluated and graphed functions. They have reviewed slope and solved real life problems.
Mrs. Wong
As the school year comes to an end, it’s always great to see where we have progressed and also see the areas we still need to improve on. In the beginning of the school year each student filled out a little card writing down any areas in their lives where they would like to see change. The time finally arrived to hand them back to the students! This was just a great way to see so many of them encouraged, knowing that God can change many things just in a matter of a few months. This year our students have learned the amazing power of prayer….that through Him all things are possible! My prayer is for each and every one of them to carry on what they have learned into their everyday lives even their summer vacation.

We have been working on vocabulary, verbs and comprehension of words used in the practice regents tests. Students are also working on how to write in Spanish so they will be ready for the regents tests.
Mrs. Colon
These students are very motivated in class. They have shown me that they can do whatever I give them. They were given a practice regents test and they all did very well on the listening and comprehension part of the test.
