October 5 will always be the most special day to those who provide the power of education to today’s youth and give them the possibility for a better future. It is a special day for the appreciation of teachers and include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.
     Rafael Palma Elementary School held virtually the annual celebration of Teacher’s Day last October 8, 2021 to give honor and appreciation to the teachers who untiringly provide the best education to their learners inspite of the struggles encountered in the new normal because of the pandemic. The program was lead by the school’s Faculty Club(RPES-Faculty Club) President together with the other newly elected officers. With the iniatiative of school principal Mario T. Endico ,and support of some ex SPG officers.
     It was solemnly started with a nationalistic song and prayer and followed by an inspiratonal message by Mr. Mario T. Endico, school head and Maam Evelyn R. Ramos, CLUSTER !-PSDS. There were fun games provided by each grade level, one of those is what’s in box, in which it was a guessing game where in participants need to guess the object inside the box with only 3 clues given. It was a very interactive program even though it was held virtually. Participants may either chat their answers or say it aloud. Everyone actively participated the fun games and of course there were amazing prizes that await for the winners in those games.
     The annual event was conducted simply but it was a most memorable one for teachers. Inspite of those struggles teachers conquered in the new normal, many still never forget to appreciate teachers’ sacrifices. Indeed it was a fulfilled heartwarming celebration.
