World Teachers' Day Celebration

World Teachers’ Day

          On October 5, 2011, all teachers worldwide have celebrated the World Teachers’ Day. This is a way of recognizing the unending commitment and dedication of the teachers in their chosen vocation.  It is a day

where students/pupils  have 

given tribute to their respective

mentors.

            Such recognition of the students have touched the emotions of the teachers not because they’re given presents but because they have valued 

 the efforts exerted by their teachers to them.

             It’s a remarkable day to cherish for both teachers and the pupils. On this day, the selected pupils have taken the place of their teachers. They’re assigned to teach specific subjects the whole day while preschool classes are being handled by the parents. Such experience has led them to realization that teaching isn’t an easy job. Some find it enjoyable while others have tried to be like a true one.

          The celebration has a theme: “My teacher, my hero”.  The students held a program and showcased many talents to entertain the teachers.

          The program is a collaboration of the Supreme Pupils Government (SPG) and the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA). It’s amazing to  witness those little children showing their prowess in dancing,  singing and hosting.

          Aside from entertaining the teachers, they also hold a card making contest and poster making contest which participated by both primary and intermediate levels.

          We, the teachers in St. Jude Elementary School are very grateful that our efforts are being recognized by our pupils/students and parents. We’re proud not because we’re imparting knowledge, but because we have touched and changed their lives.
