I AM…
12th Grade continues its survey of the New Testament. We are currently looking at the book of John, exploring the rich imagery of Jesus’ I Am statements. Jesus the Bread of Life; the Light of the World; the Door for the sheep; the Good shepherd; the Resurrection and the Life; the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and the Vine. It is our hope that the richness of these God-breathed names and their implications will inspire fresh devotion and impart new life.

Microsoft Office
11th and 12th grade have just finished their first independent learning project, completing lessons and a final creative product in one of four Microsoft office programs. Their final products turned out wonderfully. During the second term, they will be working on assignments for Mr. Hernandez, our college preparation guidance counselor.
Mr. Boyd
Microsoft Excel
To finish our long unit of study in Microsoft Excel, students in 8th through 10th grades completed a quiz that wrapped a sampling of all the skills they learned into one activity. Since the activity involved a college budget they also had the opportunity to think about living expenses when they go to college.

Laws of Motion
Seniors have been studying forces and the Laws of Motion. They have crashed toy cars into walls. They have used stuffed animals and rubber bands to simulate the effects of not wearing seat belts and the benefits of wearing one.
Mrs. Wong
Ionic Compounds
Chemistry students have been studying ionic compounds. They have learned how ionic compounds form and how to name these compounds. In lab they have created crystal structures out of clay.
Calculus
Seniors have been studying functions. They have graphed functions and they have also found the inverse functions. They are now studying quadratic functions and polynomial functions in more detail.
Mrs. Wong
Algebra 2
Juniors are currently studying quadratic functions. They have learned how to graph, factor, and solve these equations. Students have also encountered imaginary numbers for the first time. They were very surprised to find that after they completed all the practice by hand that their calculators could also handle imaginary numbers.
Mrs. Wong
Integrated Algebra
Students are learning how to write an equation of a line to represent various real-life situations. They are also learning how to use their calculators to determine the best-fitting line for various data.

A Week of Fun and Spirit!
Spirit Week was AMAZING this year! All of Middle School and High School participated in trying to win points which made Spirit Week very enjoyable. Spirit Week was based on a point system this year: everything that took place counted as points toward every class that participated. Throughout the week, we had many contests going on. We had a Coin Contest, a Can Drive, a Door Decorating Contest, and a Shopping Cart Contest. We started off with “Tis’ the Season” on Monday, on which students dressed as their favorite symbol from their favorite holiday. We had students coming in dressed as everything from Christmas trees with ornaments and lights hanging from their clothes to soldiers in army clothes as a tribute to Veterans’ Day. Monday was also our Game Day for middle school. Sixth through eighth grade competed against each other in trying to rack up points to win Spirit Week. We played games such as the Cracker Whistle Relay, Bug Hunt, and Root Beer Chug-a-Lug. Tuesday was “Crazy Shirt and Tie Day.” Students were challenged to find their old clothes and tacky ties to show-off to their friends and the school. Tuesday was also our Game Day for high school in which we played games similar to Middle School’s Game Day! Wednesday was “Multiplicity” Day; students were asked to team up with their friends and match up with clothes, so that they would look like twins, triplets, or even quadruplets! Thursday was “Spirit” Day. Evangel students came in dressed in Evangel colors – blue, white, and gray. Last two periods on Thursday was our fall Pep Rally! Middle School and High School cheered on our Girls Varsity Volleyball Team, Boys Junior Varsity Basketball Team, Girls Varsity Basketball Team, and Boys Varsity Basketball Team. We congratulate our Girls Varsity Volleyball Team for their Undefeated Regular Season! We finished off our incredible week with “Formal Friday;” the day on which students came in to school with their fanciest dresses and spiffiest suits. Friday was also our Air Band Contest which was another way for students to rack up points. Despite the LOADS of entertainment, our Spirit Week, sadly, had to come to an end… However, the Senior Class of 2011 came in 1ST PLACE because they scored the most points!!! Tenth grade came in 2nd, eleventh grade came in 3rd, and ninth grade came in 4th. All in all, this Spirit Week was ASTOUNDING and UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL!! Thank the LORD!!!

Teaching Each Other
Exponential Growth Functions are used to measure things like inflation, population increases, and interest on investments. They can also be really confusing! This time, once a concept in the process was taught, students got the chance to teach the rest of the class how they broke through the confusion to get to the answer!
