Martin is Class President

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
                           -- John Quincy Adams
 
Good news everyone. The shy and reserved,  yet sometimes "kulit" little boy, Martin Mirc, is the president of his class. He couldn't wait for class to end after the class election to tell his mom about the good news, and to ask for a reward.  His choice - to play computer.

Chloe is Chairman of the Tanglaw ng Lahi or the Filipino Club. She will be joining the Leadership Training in the coming week. So proud of you, Weng.  Guess, it's time to speak Filipino every Friday afternoon. :)

Way to go guys. More power Class President Martin, and Filipino Club Chairman Chloe!

Class Opens. We're back to our normal routine.

June 15 marks the first day  of class at CSA-B. Carl is in second year high school and Chloe is in grade 6 and will be graduating comes March next year. For the record, they went to school on the first day at 6:45 am, way too early, but they avoided the traffic rush, and everything went smoothly - no things got left behind, no wallet or cellphone forgotten.

The cousins also had their first day of school at Jack n' Jill. Martin is in Grade 2 Gem class, Wico in grade 1, Kristian in Prep and Icee in Kindergarten.

Chloe Becomes a Girl Scout

The Girl Scout of the Philippines, CSA-B Chapter, held its investiture rites on September 3, 2009. More than 50 students from grades 3 to 6 received their investiture pins after saying the Girl's Scout Promise.

"On my honor, I will do my duty
To God and my country,
To help other people at all times
And to live by the Girl Scout Law."

The guest of honor of the said event was Atty. Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, a practicing lawyer, a human rights advocate, one of the city's councilor and the present President of the Girl Scout of the Philippines.

Chloe Won a Prize

I usually fetch the children from school every afternoon.

One Friday afternoon, I saw them both walking towards me. Carl was carrying two bags. Chloe had her backpack on, her left hand was holding her poster making project and on her right hand was a big Winnie the Pooh storage box. I asked her offhandedly, "Where did you get that? Did you buy that with your lunch money?"

She was smiling and she raised her poster and simply said, "First place!"

Pride and shame. What a mixture of emotions. Pride for my daughter for winning a prize and shame for almost getting angry with her thinking that she bought something instead of food. I called my husband immediately and told him the good news and my little blunder. We had a few giggles over that.

Then we told everybody else at home.

Chloe was awarded first place in a poster making project of their grade 5 class on Nutrition Week. She received a Winnie the Pooh storage box for it.
