Grad. Ball - Ate Joie's Turn

     Last March 16, 2013 was one of the unforgettable moments in my 2nd daughter's school life, it was their Graduation Ball. Mind you, she was only in grade 6 then. For any graduating students (whether grade 6, 4th year students) I know for sure, this is THE one night event that all of them will never forget. For my daughter's graduation ball, it was held at Luntian Resort here in Lipa City. It started with a Thanksgiving Mass followed by dinner then the program itself. Without further ado here are the photos from that special evening for the grade 6 students of Early Start Learning Center.

Stage Play: Finals 2013

 Yesterday I posted the video of my daughter singing the main theme song of their play, entitled BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (click here). So today I will share with you my dear readers, the annual Finals Play from the school, Early Start Learning Center. Actually the levels included in the plays are from grades 4, 5, and 6. Prior to the Finals last Saturday, March 9. There were an elimination held at the school grounds of the said school last March 7. The winners that went on to the finals were 2 sections from grade 4 and 2 section from grade 6. It was supposed to be just 3 winners that will moving to the finals but it so happened that were a tie so 4 sections went on instead. Anyway, I will share with you some of the pictures from the Finals of the Play.

      This year's play is bitter sweet for me and my daughters. Bitter because it is the LAST TIME that these kids will perform on stage, share their talents whether in acting, doing the props, directing, musical scoring and all. Sweet because they will be leaving on high spirits knowing that they won first place. To the parents of these students, congratulations as well. I guess the parents of these students are their number supporters. To the teachers who never gets tired of doing these plays every year, THANK YOU because it is one way of letting these kids show their other talents aside from doing good in academics.
