Elementary has learned many new things in the computer lab this month. We have been using a new program to increase their skills and reinforce what they are learning in their classrooms. The students are having a blast and the younger students can’t even tell they are learning the alphabet and math at the same time.

Singing, Dancing, Eating, Rapping, Performing, and Sharing were all a part of our Academic Fair which took place on Thursday, March19 th, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. What an exciting evening it was for all – students and visitors alike. Students in all grades had been working feverishly since January on their projects and reports and as you walked aroung the school the aroma of wonderful foods filled the air. Foods from India, Africa, Guatemala, and many, many more countires were represented. THe sounds of students talking with visitors, projects humming, music playing, and students reciting were all sounds that filled that evening. There were many different sections to the Fair: Technolgy, Dance, Art, Science, History, Health, Bible, English, Home Ec., Countries, and many more. Many students dressed up to represent a certain person, or country; there were also scientific dissections to witness. Students were so excited as they got the chance to explain their projects and research to our visitors – nearly 1,000! What a great job all teachers, staff, parents and students did! We applaud you and can’t wait until next year!
As overseer of Chapel, it has been my desire to see the hearts of our students be drawn closer to our Lord and Savior. The Lord has been faithful to hear my heart’s cry. There has been such a growth and hunger in our students to worship God and carry out His purpose for their lives. From Elementary to High School, there has been steady growth and our Spiritual Focus for the year has truly been our anthem:
Philippians 3:13 NIV
“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Please continue to pray for our chapel services. We need to continue to ask God to open our children’s hearts and minds, we need the Lord to anoint our worship teams and we need God to empower every speaker who shares.

“Character” was the theme that was emphasized during Ronald’s visit to Evangel on Tuesday, March 10, 2009. The students played games, saw a puppet show and had a great time learning about Trustworthiness, Fairness, Responsibility and Respect. Even the teachers got involved as Ronald told a story and they got a chance to act it out. We are very grateful to McDonald’s for sending Ronald to our PreK – 3 through 6th grade to share how important character is. We can’t wait until he comes to visit us again!!!!!!

On March 3rd, Evangel Christian school participated in the annual Read Across America project of the National Education Association, which celebrated Dr. Seuss’ 105th birthday. Dr. Seuss, the man who taught children that reading is fun was born, Theodor Seuss Geidor in Springfield Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904.
On this fun -filled day, Mrs. Jimenez came dressed as the Cat in the Hat, had the most fun of all, as she read several stories to the students written by Dr. Seuss. Hop on Pop, The Cat in The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish were read to Pre-K3- 5th grade.
The students also went home with worksheets and door hangers created in class to remind them about the importance of reading. Our Pre-K 3’s made Cat in the Hat hats and ended their celebration by making their own green eggs and ham the following day. A great big “Thank You” to Mrs. Jimenez for all of her hard work!!!!

As we are learning about compound words the students were very excited when I gave them books and had them look for compound words. They did a great job searching for compound words. Mrs. Bienemann
2B has continued to enjoy the privilege of borrowing Christian books from our Library. I am blessed every time I meet with them because they love to borrow Bibles and devotionals and they keep on borrowing and re- borrowing them. It is truly a blessing to see their hunger and thirst for the Word of God. In the library we also read devotions. This week we read a book about self-control and what the Bible tells us about it. It is wonderful to see how engaged they become with this type of reading.

This month students will be working on Valentine’s Day projects. Elementary will be making Valentines Day cards, necklaces and picture frames for their loved ones. Studenare reminded that the greatest act of love took place on the cross!
Elementary is learning to play ABC on our recorders. We are also learning to conduct in 4/4, 3/4 and 2/4 time. This helps us feel the beat and helps us learn to lead.

The students in second grade enjoyed the story “The Bremen Town Musicians”. They learned that the animals had something to offer even though their owners wanted to get rid of them. They put together their talents and they formed a musical band. Inspite of our faults, we have unique gifts that God has given us. We are special in His eyes.
