Josh' Moving Up Ceremony

Before the Ceremony

With Dear Tita Mama

With DaddyWith Me

With Teacher Joan

With Friends With Lola DearJosh graduated from preparatory school last Monday the 22nd day of March and we're all excited about his last moving up ceremony as preparatory student. He's going to move up to primary schooling next school year and the whole family is all giddy about it. I had tons of pics (as always) and I just picked some for this site. I'll be posting some on my other blogs.

For this year he got the 2nd place, the Best in Reading award and that makes it three in a row. On his nursery he got the 2nd place also and last year in his kinder class he got the 1st place making him the class valedictorian. He also have a Loyalty Award because he's been in St. Audrey since nursery. This is the first time that he didn't have a piece to speak as in the last two years he's the one who delivers the speech for the giving of certificates to the honors. The speech was in Filipino language and I think it's more appealing to the graduates and parents. My opinion only of course!

As always St. Audrey is on time with the graduation ceremony finishing it before the kids gets tired much to my relief! We started at 8:30 am and before 10am we've finished with the photo shoot. We headed to our house to pick Mom and ate at Josh' fave KFC. At lunch time we brought packed foods to Ruth & Gen.

Ruth's Farewell Party

It's the last day of school last March 28 and as PTA officer for the Grade 4 class section one Jannet and I agreed to allot the remaining funds to buy gifts for the top ten students of the class. Each honor's mommy was asked to cook something for the whole class food as blowout, Ruth wasn't in the list this year, she didn't made it this time breaking her records since she was in preparatory school. She's a consistent honor student from nursery, kinder,prep, grade one and two, she missed the top 5 in grade three but still included in the top ten roll. It's ok because her grades is still good enough. I don't want to put pressure on their studies, I just wanted them to be good in school. She's a quiet type of person and that affected her standing because teachers wanted a students that voluntarily answers and accepts responsibilities especially in the school program. One mother of the upper grade students told her to be active because intelligence is not enough to qualify students must be competitive in all aspects - recitations and participation in school activities. Oh well as long as my kids has good grades and happy I'm happy too! Anyway in their farewell party she was given the Most Polite award, five awards were given on that day, and she's just happy that she got that appreciation award. They had games, dancing, singing and of course a lot of eating lol!

Recognition Day

Gen was so happy and so are we because she got the second honor award in her grade 3 section one class for this year! Some decisions and final tally on their grades were made before it was finally declared. She's a very patient and smart kid and even though she's very shy that trait didn't blocked her capabilities of being in the honor roll. For six years starting from her nursery,kinder, prep, grade one and grade two she's been a consistent honor. Her ate Ruth missed the honor this year but I gave her congratulations also for the good grades that she's got. She got the Most Polite ribbon in her class. Here you can see Gen with me (got no professional photographer with me, just a shot from a friend), the second pic is with teacher Annie and the last shots with her siblings, ate Ruth and Josh (see the funny look in Josh pose lol!).
I thank God always for giving me such precious angels.
