"You are here to learn, answer questions, inquire, and gather knowledge."
This was reiterated by the new school principal of Pagudpud Central Elementary School (in Iloko dialect) during the indoor flag-raising ceremonies at the school's Multi-Purpose Hall on Friday morning, September 1.
Mrs. Lorelyn Cortez, the school principal, emphasized that students should focus on how they acquire knowledge despite the less-than-ideal start to the school year due to Typhoon Goring.
We could recall that due to the typhoon, the initial days of the school year were halted from August 29 until August 31.
Cortez added that despite the said suspension, we must slowly adapt to the opening of classes.
She then thanked the teachers and especially the parents for their unwavering support of the school.
The principal also introduced the new Administrative Officer, Mrs. Gaylyn Juan, and emphasized the importance of showing her due respect when pupils come across her.
"If you see her, say hello, as she's a member of the school, too, like your teachers," mentioned Cortez in the local tongue.
Moreover, Mrs. Cortez also gave school supplies to learners and teachers to welcome the PCES family for the first school day.
We could recall that Cortez replaced Mr. Richard Riveral as part of the departmentโs reorganizing.
Meanwhile, a short panel was conducted in the afternoon, attended by the principal and staff in Mrs. Carina Galamโs room.
