Teacher’s day 2023: students give back to teachers by gifts,
performances
Last October 6, 2023, La Purisima Concepcion Academy had a program for
the teachers, held at the gymnasium to celebrate the World Teacher’s Day
spearheaded by the student council.
To give blessings and guidance for the whole activity, the school attended
mass led by Fr. Obina Moises. After that, cheers began to surface as the students
prepared for their room-to-room surprise to their advisers. Gift-giving took place
as well during the event.
To give way to the second part of the teacher’s day celebration, the
afternoon classes have been suspended. Teachers have several stations to choose
from, provided by the student council to entertain and indulge them; there was a
karaoke room, manicure room, massage room, movie room, recreational room,
and sleeping room.
Ma’am Ghoannalyn Cuenca, a Grade 8 adviser, said that “It made me feel
special. It was a new, enjoyable, and fulfilling experience for me, as a new
teacher. I was only beginning my journey of teaching for the last 2 months,
however, I already felt appreciated, which ignites more the burning passion I have
for my chosen profession.
The afternoon program was hosted by the two officers of the student
council, beginning with a lively performance by the school’s band called
“Euphoria” then followed by an impressive act of a grade 12 student, John Allen
N. Valenzuela with his informative but hilarious skit. Games also occurred in the
program then ended with a surprising raffle gift for the teachers.
A heartfelt regard was made by the principal of the school as he commends
the efforts and passion exerted by the faculty and staffs. He said that many are
called with this vocation but few are chosen to long-lived with teaching minds and
touching hearts journey for the youth.
