Manic Drive Visits Evangel
High School Chapel on September 18th was TOTALLY AWESOME as Manic Drive – an up and coming Christian Band – came to visit us. They played two hits off their new album – our favorite was Closer. It talks about getting closer and closer to the Lord. We had a blast ………………. took tons of pics…………………..and had them sign CD’s and posters. We are so thankful to Manic Drive for blessing us and we pray that the Lord continues to bless their ministry!
Check out “Galleries” for some great pics!
“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!!!!!!
Please visit our “Galleries” to view some wonderful pictures.

Raise Dough for your School… Evangel Nights at Chicago Uno Grill a great success!
Chicago Uno Grill is giving back to our local community in Long Island City and Astoria!
On Dec. 4th and 5th Evangel Christian School partnered with our local Chicago Uno Grill for a Raise Dough for your school fundraiser, our goal was to raise funds for our school, raise community awareness of our school, and partner with a great corporation and community supporter Chicago Uno Grill.
In these challenging economic times it is inspiring to work with companies like Chicago Uno Grill that enrich the communities they are in by giving back to them and supporting education. Heather Cortes Development Manager at Evangel Christian School said.
Thank you to all the staff at our local Chicago Uno Grill at 37-11 35th Avenue in Astoria and especially to Jennifer Burns for making this fundraiser wonderful and making us all feel welcomed. The food was great and the service was even better! The support from our Evangel family and friends was amazing for a 1st time event! Totaling just over $1100.00 in receipts, which gave us the maximum fund raising benefit of 20% going directly to Evangel and education! Way to go and thank you to all who came out in support of education!

We are so excited about our very first auctions. We had so much fun as Mr. Marko auctioned of many wonderful items. One parent shared this with Mrs. Marko, “I had so much fun.” We auctioned gift baskets full of books, visits to the spa, children’s videos, baked goodies and much more. We even auctioned a bike, a scooter, tickets to Sight and Dound, and meals for two and various restaurants.
We raised over $3,700.00 to purchase projectors for our classrooms. A special thank you to Mrs. Heather Cortes for all of her hard work in organizing this event. Thank you to all of our parents for buying their Christmas gifts a the auction. We are looking forward to the second half of our auction on Wednesday Night, December 17th.
A special Thank You to the local businesses, corporations, families and friends listed below. We encourage you to patronize these businesses supporting them for their commitment to education and to Evangel Students!

This year instead of fighting with the weather and rescheduling our fundraiser (Jog-A-Thon) several times, we are going to have fun inside! This year we are going to have our first Bowl-A-Thon! Pre-K and Kindergarten students will have fun bowling at the ECS Bowling Alley (aka the school gym). Grades 1-12 will be going to Whitestone Lanes and bowl two games. Because of the size of our school we will be going on several days.
Information and labels went home the first week in November. All you have to do is send in names and addresses (like you did with the Jog-A-Thon)and we will send out sponsor letters.
This will be a fun way for all students to help raise needed funds for our school. (Parents can also raise money toward their fundraising fee.)
Go to our Galleries for some great pics.
Our first book fair took place on Oct. 2nd, students had a great time looking at the wonderful books and the volunteers did a great job helping them choose the “right book” for them! Thanks to all the parents that helped and made this event a great success. We raised $975 in books and equipment for the Library!!
