During June, we completed Final Persuasive Essays (about pro athletes’ salaries) and reviewed and tested on paragraph and essay format. We also reviewed for Final Exams, which included the aforementioned information, as well as similes and several sections of grammar.

Our Spruce Lake retreat was one of our highlights of our year. We headed out on Thursday morning and came back Friday evening. 5E conquered their fears as they got to ride a power swing that takes you about 27 feet high and drops you like a sack of potatoes. We also learned about the pond animals and insects and how God provides for each one in their environment. The best learning experience was when we went rock climbing and learned to push beyond our limits. Can you believe I, Mrs. Emestica climbed the wall in 2 minuites and 44 seconds, but not without the help of my parents and students encouraging and helping me every step of the way. Thank-you 5E for making Spruce Lake a memorable experience.

As the fourth quarter ends, the improvement of the 5th grade’s typing skills cannot go unnoticed. Between lessons and assignments, the fifth graders have been working hard at improving their typing skills through typing programs, games, and activities. The big step to sixth grade comes with the responsibility of writing papers in Microsoft Word. Through their hard work this year I am confident to say they are ready for whatever sixth grade throws at them.

: A great year studying World History and the foundations that have set the stage for the present time. Final papers were very informative and well-done for the most part. Let us move on and create new history!
Mr. Prawel
: New Testament class is over, but the journey still continues until that day. I trust we are more prepared for the work of Christ than we were at the beginning of September 🙂
Mr. Prawel
Another semester of Government is over. The seniors are finally done and on their way to the future. Hopefully lessons of civics and responsibility do not get lost in the excitement of what is new.
Mr. Prawel
Another year of US History has come and gone. We’ve watched history in the making from the historic election to the tremendous recession. Hopefully we will learn from history and not repeat errors of our past.
Mr. Prawel
We’ve had a great year and we wrapped up with nearly everybody passing the Regents Exam!!!

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 9th grade class finished the year with a masquerade ball. They donned the masks they had made in preparation and whirled around the class expertly performing the Shakespearean dance they had been taught. Although Prizes were awarded for the top masks and dancers, everyone was a winner by participating in this successful event! Bravo!
