Best of the best

After years of battling against the pandemic, students were now back on track to showcasing dance moves and brilliant ideas for a grand performance in celebrating school-based National Arts Month celebration.

Grade 9 students demonstrated their creativity and collaboration in the field of arts by giving honor in festive activities across the country.

Students in the ninth grade have recently put on vibrant performances to the upbeat sounds of instruments and melodies, executing a variety of festival dances that were classified as religious or secular, relative to what was assigned in each group.

These students also raised their banners, signifying their pride in their artistic expression as essential components of their identity and their progress toward being able to hone their talents and abilities together.

Students had to use recycled materials to show off their creativity for their costumes, props, decorations, and other items that helped them to accomplish the festival.

After the performances, classes of Escuro, Baltazar, Gomez, Alzona, and Lara were among the top five outstanding performances, in accordance to the judges’ impression. These sections also had another showcase of talent in which Grade 9-Gomez ranked 3rd place, Escuro as 2nd place, and Alzona as the champion.

Maurrise Oliquiano, the class vice president of Alzona, initially expressed how they handled the struggle during the preparation but through courage, they were still able to bring the trophy of victory.

"The best thing you can have to help them out of their struggles is patience and supporting them. Not all of the help needs to come from us officers, each and every student of our section needs to have great cooperation towards the officers including, listening, following, and knowing what's best for them," Oliquiano said.

HEAD HELD HIGH

Lirian Spikers showcased their skills in a tightly contested quarterfinals game against Tanauan Institute, but failed to advance to the semifinals, 3-0 (15-25, 20-25, 21-25), at the Division Athletic Association Meet on February 24.

Despite not achieving their desired placement, the Spikers still represented the beloved school with determination and perseverance. Before facing T.I., the Spikers dominated against Doctor Alcantara NHS and Ulango NHS.

Regardless of falling short, the seniors of the team, Seray and Boncales, undoubtedly stood firm until the end even though they were up against mostly Senior High players. The skill and excellence of Naval, who served as the team captain of the Spikers, could not be underestimated, providing inspiration and direction to his teammates in their matches.

Ang naging strategy nmin to win the two games is to use our heart tapos sinabayan pa ng determination ng bawat isa na maachieve yung goal. Yung will nila to win the game is farther than the skill itself eh. It takes intuition and great effort to win at volleyball. Creative thinking. The act of improvisation. At syempre yung reciprocity of cooperation ng bawat player. A volleyball player cannot work for themselves at nakita ko yun sa bawat player sa bawat game. They worked hard and gave their best foot forward to win in each game. Yung naging lesson nmin sa nangyari is to play harder at train harder pa. Sabi nga sa adage "Champions prepare more. Kaya we make it a point na dire-diretso ang training para maachieve nmin Yung next year na goal nmin ang mag-win sa Division Meet at makarating ng Regional.”, Coach Sheryl R. Lirio ended.
