NFL Running Back Blesses Evangel
Former Running Back, Lee Rouson, a two time Super Bowl Winner with the New York Giants was a guest speaker at our Middle School and High School Chapels. Lee shared his journey of faith and overcoming hardships. THrough it all, Lee remained faithful to the call of God in His life. Our students were inspired by his story of Hope and Triumph in Christ. Lee also emphasized that eventhough he has been tremendously successful, he identifies himself as a child of God and gives all the glory to Him. Mr. Rouson has been anexample to our children that “With God all things are possible.” We are so thankful to him for taking time out of his busy schedule to come and speak with our students.

Regent Review
As we continue to review for the Regents, students had the opportunity to visit Philadelphia and see the sights! Instead of just reading about the Constitutional Convention, we were able to stand in Independence Hall and see the chair that George Washington sat in as he presided over the Convention! What a way to review!

The Greatest Generation
Students watched interviews with 80-year-old veterans from Easy Company, one of the most decorated companies during World War II. After hearing about their experiences, students journaled about why these men came to be known as the greatest generation. Many students wrote that we have much to learn from them today about bravery, sacrifice, camaraderie, and hard work.

Comparative Advantage
This past week students learned about comparative advantage and specialization by using our favorite sports figures. We learned that Babe Ruth had an absolute advantage in both pitching and hitting, but he specialized in hitting, because that’s what most benefited the team (comparative advantage).
Mrs. Lapp
Human Trafficking
Students discussed the heartbreaking issue of human trafficking: we focused on the supply and demand of trafficking, and talked about what we can do to stop it. For example, is it better to focus law enforcement efforts on the supply side (those who kidnap and sell others) or the demand side (the customers/buyers)? Students weighed in on their own opinions after studying the data and reading articles from various advocacy groups.

What Is Forensic Science
The Forensic Students will be constructing mystery stories to solve. Their mystery stories must include at least 3 chapter topics studied throughout the year. They will work with a partner and will do class presentations. They will also construct posters describing what Forensic science is.
Mrs. Christian
Fun Projects
Students will be constructing a variety of art projects for math. For the acuminating project, students will choose a personal favorite topic. They will construct a song, poem, or rap. The lyrics will be placed on small poster boards for display. They will also have an option to create a math game as an end of the year project.

The Holocaust
Part of our curriculum is learning about the Nazi’s and what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust.In learning about the Holocaust, we watched a documentary on a survivor of the Holocaust. This was a real eye opener for my students. It caused them to experience true empathy for the Jewish nation and realize how blessed we are to live in America!
College Prep
The Seniors are splitting their time between computer class and their senior seminar, which is preparing them for college. Since time is short and the Seniors are busy folks, we’ve assigned some independent work projects due on June 4. They have chosen all sorts of things to work on and are really enjoying the projects. Some are making videos, while others are dissecting computers. Many students are learning office software, and one group is making an online comic for which they are making their own website!
