SPRING PICTURES ARE MONDAY APRIL 4TH! 

Spring pictures allow families the opportunity to have their children's pictures made in their Easter clothes. Grammar students may come dressed in their regular school uniform or dressy (Easter) casual attire, no jeans or flip flops.  Grammar students have the option to change out of dressy clothes and shoes after pictures are made if you send their uniform.

All Logic and Rhetoric students should come dressed in their regular uniform or Easter attire and be prepared to change back into uniforms after their pictures are taken first thing that morning.

 

SPRING CLASSICAL CONNECTION

The Spring Classical Connection will be on Wednesday and Thursday, April 13th and 14th. This is our way of presenting to the public an overview of Evangel Classical Christian School. Classical education is a new concept for most people, and the Classical Connection is an excellent tool for communicating the classical methodologies.   

 

Many parents are looking for school options as our educational climate changes. We feel ECCS can be the answer they are looking for. Please use the Classical Connection postcards, which were sent home with report cards last week, to share with friends, neighbors and family members who have or will have school-aged children. Word of mouth is our greatest advertisement and the postcards can be nice conversation starters for you to tell your ECCS story. There are more postcards available in the offices, and the detailed time schedule is on our website, www.evangelclassical.org, if you'd like to direct friends there.  Thanks for supporting ECCS!

 

8TH ANNUAL EVANGEL CLASSIC 

Dads and golfers are invited to join us for our annual Golf Tournament on April 28th!  You can find more information and register online.

Logic & Rhetoric School Updates

Spring Picture Day

Next Monday is Spring Picture Day.  Logic and Rhetoric School students may come to school dressed as they wish to take their spring pictures, which will be first thing in the morning.  After their pictures are taken, however, they will need to change back into their uniforms. 

 

The Importance of Being Earnest, April 14-16

The Class of 2011 will present Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest on April 14-16 in the Evangel gym.  This classic British play, which comedically exploits the shallowness that was often found in British aristocratic manners of the turn of the twentieth century, has been delighting audiences since 1895.  Premium tickets, which include seats at one of twelve tables, where guest will be served tea and refreshments, are $10.00 and are extremely limited in number.  Tickets will go on sale on April 4.  You can get them from any senior, or you can email Mrs. Bell to reserve your ticket.  Student tickets, which do not include table seating, will be on sale for $5.00 as well, but again, we will only be selling a limited number each evening.  Students will be able to purchase either premium or student tickets at school beginning April 4. All tickets will be sold on a first come / first serve basis.  The seniors are working hard and having fun getting ready for the play. Please reserve your ticket and join them for an evening of manners, tea, and laughter.  All proceeds from the play will go towards the Class of 2011's Senior Gift to the school. 

 

Alabama Junior Classical League State Convention April 1st & 2nd @ Samford University

Thanks to all parents and students who have already registered for the year's convention and thanks also to the student officers of our Junior Classical League chapter who managed the business with such efficiency and success. They have done a splendid job! 

 

We will eagerly await the results of this weekend's competition--our group is the third largest delegation at the convention, and we know they will represent us well.
