Sakbay and Pinning Ceremonies

Ed had his recognition,sakbay and pinning ceremonies last week March 27 at URS Morong prior to his graduation day. His Mom was there to accompany him on stage on the pinning ceremony. She came all the way from Montalban to be with his youngest son. I was there also with Ed’s cousin and we were just lucky to enter the theater arts center because some of the students don’t have their parents with them and we were paired with them. I was glad that I was able to go inside because I was able to witness the whole ceremony and had some pictures also.

I’ve experienced several ceremonies with our kids but watching Ed and his Mom on stage gave me unexplainable feeling. I observed that Ed and MIL were equally happy too. We’re all proud that after two years Ed has finished the course. Wait it’s not his graduation day, it’s only the sakbay and pinning ceremonies. I will have another post for his graduation day which is 2 days after these ceremonies. 

will post some pics later :)

:BM/RT: Gen's Recognition Day

I'm posting here my dear daughter's recognition ceremony. Gen has been so focused and devoted on her goals of returning to the top five of her class having lost it last year and been included only in the top ten of the class. She's a consistent honor since her preparatory school and last year's failure to be at the top five didn't put her down but instead gave her inspiration to study and persevere more.

On the last week of March all her efforts has been rewarded because she got the 4th place in her grade 5 section 1 class of more than 50 students. I'm proud of her not being on the top five but of her dedication and positive attitude that she can make it again to come back in her former place. I'm very happy and proud of her. God helped her achieve her goals.

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.
