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!!!!

Our class is participating in a race around the United States. The 3rd Grade class wrote letters to Christian Schools in all 50 States. Each student was given a State and a school to write to. We had a time to “Brain storm” ideas and then they took off writing and drawing pictures. At the close of each letter, the children ended their letter with “God Bless You” and “Write me back”. That hand extended was so Christ like,and it was a blessing to me.

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
We have been reading a book titled, “…If You Lived 100 Years Ago,” by Ann McGovern with the third grade class. They were impressed to find out that if they had lived a hundred years ago they wouldn’t have gotten a chance to eat Pizza, Potato Chips, French Fries, and Frozen Foods. We read about how they did not even know what a TV was not to mention a computer, a movie, or an airplane, during that time period. We also read about how people lived in tenements and under what type of conditions they lived there. We will continue to read this to learn about how technology has changed our world.

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.

After reading the story City Green, which was about a little girl helping to turn a vacant city lot into a neighborhood garden, reading lab students started their own flower garden in room 204. I am pleased to tell you our flowers are starting to grow. The students are very excited to see the green stems and leaves popping out of the soil.

Third grade is continuing to enjoy their time in the library. For the month of January they are borrowing Geography books that deal with their academic fair projects. They are borrowing books on different countries since their projects are on a country study. They can still borrow one book of their own special interest.
