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.
Evangel’s Middle School/High School elective continues to gather material and hone their writing skills in preparation for the publication of the first edition of their newspaper. Reporters will also work on improving their interview skills. We’d love to have the opportunity to interview you! Please let us know if you have an interesting story to share!

Evangel’s Sophomore class has been introduced to the complexities of Dicken’s language and will continue to tackle it’s intricacies. I look forward to a developing understanding and appreciation of his writing style as they delve into the world of Oliver Twist.

Evangel’s Freshman English class continues their exploration of good vs. evil in Steinbeck’s The Pearl. They will be wrapping up their study of this lyrical parable by performing skits of the major events of each chapter. Feel free to stop by and have a peek!

Living Environment: 9th grade:
For the up and coming scientists of the high school November will be wrapping up the unit on Ecology and pulling together all the loose ends so that the students will have a big picture about how ecosystems work. After studying in great detail about the non-human living components (animals and plants) of ecosystems, it’s time to focus us (humans)-quite possible the most vital role in ecosystems. Students are going to be able to see exactly how their behaviors affect the world around them. We are looking at populations in generals and then more specifically how we as humans alter the ecosystem either positively or negatively. I am excited for the students to finally apply their knowledge to real life and make the connections between how they live now and how they should be living.

Earth Science: 10th grade:
As November approaches we are preparing to go “underground!” The students will be studying all types of things that exist below ground level. We’re taking a closer look at groundwater and soil and how both affect the world above ground. Students are not just going to look at these things but they will also do hands on activities that allow them to uncover the truths and unveil the misconceptions they may have had before about water and soil. I am excited about going “deeper” and I sure hope the kids are too!

The 12th Grade Class is getting ready for it’s Poetry Jam that will be held on November 4, during 3rd and 4th periods. Students will share some of their writing pieces. The theme is “A Black and White Affair”. Students have been working through their fears and their confidence. They are all eager and excited to participate in this event. I am so proud of this senior class and am confident they will shine like stars.

In Psychology class we have just learned about how our senses help us observe the world around us. We have been working extra hard in trying to open our minds to understand how we perceive the world using our senses. We learned about the importance of our senses and were even drawn to learn about how animals have a “super sixth sense” – which in reality, they do not, however, God has give them the ability to adapt to their surroundings and their senses become super sensitive during a time of danger. We even learned about how animals were saved during the Tsunami in Eastern Asia years ago. This was because they made it to safety as if they knew something horrific was coming. This is one of the awesome deeds of our Lord, who gives us what we need to survive, as well as animals.
