National Honor Society is a society of leaders. Students participate in group projects that assist the community. They are challenged in the areas of Service, Leadership, Scholarship and Character. It is a beautiful candlelit ceremony filled with great accomplishments. Members pledge to follow 1 Timothy 4:12 . Honor Stoles and Honor Cords are presented to Officers and Seniors. This year we had the pleasure of welcoming 56 students into NHS and 50 into NJHS. We are so very proud for all of our students accomplishments.

Reader’s Oath – by Debra Angstead
I promise to read
Each day and each night.
I know it’s the key
To growing up right.
I’ll read to myself,
I’ll read to a crowd.
It makes no difference
If silent or loud.
I’ll read at my desk,
At home and at school,
On my bean bag or bed,
By the fire or pool.
Each book that I read
Puts smarts in my head,
‘Cause brains grow more thoughts
The more they are fed.
So I take this oath
To make reading my way
Of feeding my brain
What it needs every day.
Children and adults need time to unwind and enjoy the summer, so make summer reading fun! Summer shouldn’t mean taking a break from reading (or learning) since students who engage in reading activities return to school refreshed, excited and ready to pick up where they left off. Also remember that most Evangel students have summer book reports to do so…
Here are some tips to make reading a positive experience:
Keep LOTS of reading material around the home –books, newspapers, magazines and always, the Bible
Read outdoors – at the park or beach
Read to your child (it doesn’t matter how old or young your child is!)
Let your child read to you (older children can read newspaper or magazine articles)
Visit the library, check your local library’s website for special reading-related
activities and age-appropriate book lists
Model reading – turn off the TV and each person reads his or her book
(including Mom, Dad, grandparent)
ASK them what they think about what they’ve read and LISTEN to what they say

Have a wonderful summer!
We used the one week we had in the month of June to review for our final.

During this month we had a lot of fun planning and putting together a weather forecast for the news. The students made their own dialogues; their visuals were excellent. Some of the groups used computer models and animation while other used traditional poster board models. Each group tapped into their own strengths and the outcome was beautiful. The language used was very accurate and technical. The students truly shined.
Picking up on the same theme, we worked on making plans according to the weather. Some student planned to go to the beach on a sunny day while others planned to stay home and play videogames on a rainy day. With both these themes we reinforced the use of vocabulary related to activities around the home, and outside, the use of the verbs in the future, inviting people to events and even convincing someone to do what they were not planning to do; all in Spanish. That was excellent work on the part of the students.
Miss Rivera
To all my students: I love you. You have all been a blessing to me.
I pray that I was a blessing to you as well. You all have grown and have achieved your academic excellence. I am so godly proud to see how you all have flourished despite challenges that came our way this year.
You have all challenged Mrs. Christian to grow in new ways. I thank you for that. You all have pushed me to do better as I have pushed you.
That is what Christ would want. We are to be there for each other.
Always remember to keep Christ first in everything.
“You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you.” Phil. 4:19

10th and 11th Math Classes were preparing for the RCT Exam. The students did a number of practice test and exercises. I pray that they will all do well.

Evangel’s 10th grade class ended the year with the 30Hour Famine (a fundraising event designed to combat hunger all over the world). This awesome event began Friday, May 29th at noon. The tenth grade class (both homerooms) gathered as one to begin a fast of 30 hours (the students were allowed to participate in scheduled juice breaksJ). Friday afternoon 10L led the school’s chapel service, raised awareness and softened hearts to the plight of those suffering from hunger. Then students began to prepare for the main event—The Coffeehouse. Evangel’s Solid Rock Café was transformed into a 30Hour Famine celebration. Students prayed, performed songs, presented powerpoint presentations, sold clothes in their famine thrift shop, and sold food—all for those suffering from hunger around the world. The rest of the evening and the following day (yes, we spent the night in the schoolJ) students participated in activities to remind them of the importance of their commitment and the impact they were making. Activities included devotionals, Manhunt, and assembling Father’s Day packets at the World Vision warehouse (the sponsors of the event). We broke the fast at 6pm on Saturday, May 30th with communion and a meal! This was a powerful event and called for a special dedication from each of the students who participated and the other teachers who helped! Thanks to everyone for making the event a success.

Evangel’s 10th grade class began reading The Taming of the Shrew and put to test the skills they picked up in their poetry unit. By identifying allusions, puns, imagery and other literary devices used in Shakespeare’s work, they were able to take their appreciation of the English language to a brand new level. Well Done!
Miss Collins
Students spent time on writing to help prepare them for next year when they will have to take the Regent’s.
Mrs. Colon
It’s the final stretch to finals! June finds the Resource very busy as students finish all their unfinished work, refresh their study skills, do preps for tests, and work on review sheets. Diligence is finally taking over. Many have improved in study habits and the self-managing skills that will make test taking go a little smoother
As the end of school nears I get teary eyed reflecting on the accomplishments of these students – especially as I make out the awards for the Awards Chapel. I ‘m glad to see so much progress in so many ways especially in their attitude toward success. “[They] can do all things through Christ who strengthens [them]”Phil 4:13.
