Designers
Students designed their own papeleria floor plan. This was their own ideal school supply store, floor plan. I also had them, make a report about critical current events in Latin-America, straight from a Spanish newspaper article.

Wall of Fame
Students changed the wall of fame board, with new projects. They put up some cool, self designed Spanish menus. They also worked on translating current events from the Latino newspaper.

Lets travel
Students worked on learning more common phrases used in everyday conversation, especially when traveling, since the focus of the chapter for March was the airport and traveling.

Love
Students focused a bit on the attribute of love. The students worked on making Spanish cards for friends and family, expressing love. We also worked on learning the members in extended families.

NHS and NJHS
On Tuesday, June 8th, we conducted our national Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society Ceremony. This ceremony is beautiful as students carry during the processional and recessional.WE are very proud to have inducted 63 new members to NHS and 13 new members to NJHS. We welcomed back 68 NHS members from last year and 53 NJHS members from last year. Both Societies worked very hard on their service project, raising money through bake sales and other means. Students were delighted to take what they had raised to the different institutions. What a blessing to be able to bless others. Please see Galleries for some great pictures of NHS and NJHS traveling to give what they had raised.
Here is a little history about the National Honor Society and the criteria for selection:
When the National Honor Society was founded in 1921, the hope was to create an organization that would recognize and encourage high school students’ academic achievement while developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. The National Junior Honor Society was founded shortly thereafter-in 1929 to recognize middle school students in the same areas. Now, over 80 years later, these Societies have become prestigious organizations with outstanding faculty members and students from the school community. Their reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved. Membership is thus both an honor and a commitment.
The NHS and NJHS recognize outstanding high school and middle school students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The National Association of Secondary School Principals proudly sponsors these Societies.
For the selection of Members to the NHS and NJHS Chapters:
* Members must maintain a cumulative overall 85% average or higher for two consecutive semesters with 80% as the lowest grade in all subjects.
* Members must be in good behavioral standing.
* Members must demonstrate outstanding performance in areas of scholarship, service, leadership and character.
* The selection of each Member shall be reviewed and approved by the this School’s Administration and Faculty each school year.

How fast can you type
Juniors and Seniors in computer class have been working on independent learning projects. There are many different projects going on. For example, one group is dissecting an old Laptop and learning about the parts. They are labeling them and making a display board. Another group has made a great slide show and is incorporating it in to a website. I am also holding an ongoing contest for typing achievements. Any student who can type 90 words a minute with no more than one mistake receives a 10$ Applebee’s gift card. Congratulations to Michael Chunall and Crystal Johnson, who already won gift cards!

Keep on Learning
Students in computer class have been learning about Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Many of the students started these units feeling they pretty much knew everything about these programs. Many of them have been blown away by how powerful and complex these programs actually are.
A Great Year
Math Classes from grades 8 – 11th completed a variety of art projects for math. Some students wrote poems, raps, and drew pictures about mathematical topics. Students also conducted an overall review of the academic year of 2009-2010.
We were able to reflect and discuss how we all have grown spiritually and naturally. We even laughed at each other and at the teacher. We discussed our funniest moments with each other in the classroom and out the classroom.
I pray that the Lord continues to bless all my students over the summer. They all have been blessings to me and it was a challenge and great joy to see them all progress according to his/her abilities.
I love all my students dearly and will continue to pray for them and their families as they move forward.
Mrs. Christian
Congratulations
In December, 30 of our students entered writing pieces into the Association of Christian Schools International’s annual Creative Writing Festival. Two of those students, Alahna Dones (11th) and Angelie Cesario (8th), received marks of Superior (the highest possible) in the district level which qualified their poems to be sent to the regional level for adjudication.
We are proud to announce that at the regional level, Alahna Dones was awarded a Superior ribbon and Angelie Cesario was awarded with a mark of Excellent. Alahna’s spoken word poem entitled Freedom in Christ will be published in a book ACSI distributes to school’s across the country, while Angelie’s poem Tell, will be published online.
Congratulations to both Alahna and Angelie! Evangel is very proud of you!

Let Freedom Ring
Benjamin Franklin once said, An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. With many young leaders here at Evangel Christian School we wanted our students not only to read about these great men of old and how they founded this Great Country, but we wanted to make it real to them. The only way to do this is explore as our forefathers once did. Eager to make these stories from the history books real, our junior class set out to explore Philadelphia. We visited historical sights such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Franklin Court, and Carpenter’s Hall. Our founding fathers were visionaries and they were willing to fight for their freedom and what they knew was right. We too should be willing to standup for what we believe in and work hard to accomplish our goals. Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
