Evans Middle School would like to congratulate Christopher Green for being selected to the State of Georgia’s All-State Chorus. The All-State Chorus is comprised of 7-12 grade students that meet the following requirements:  Singing of the major, minor, and chromatic scales, tonal memory, singing a selected piece while being judged on tone, pitch, rhythm, diction, and dynamics, and 3 sightreading examples.  There are 2 rounds of auditions before being accepted into the chorus.  Several thousands of students all over the state audition for this Chorus.  Chris scored a 16. and only had 6 mistakes of everything he was being judged on.  Everyone at Evans is very proud of Chris and wish him the best as he travels to Savannah, GA to represent Evans Middle in the 2009 All-State Mixed Chorus.

Congratulations!

Evans Middle School would like to thank the students and the faculty for participating in the St. Jude Children?s Research Hospital Math-A-Thon this year.  

St. Jude Children?s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.  St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world.  No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay.  Evans raised nearly $2000.00 this year ($1978.95) for St. Jude.  Eighth grader, Bobby Swint has been Evans top Math-A-Thon fundraiser for three years in a row.  Evans is proud of everyone who contributed to St. Jude.
