Antique National School English Club

Looking for something to keep you going? Take a break from doomscrolling and check this out! 📱‼️

Every Monday, the General English Club is posting inspirational quotes to promote spiritual and moral awareness to students, developing a sense of awareness, compassion, and faith to the four core values of the Department of Education (DepEd). 📖✏️

Today, our first quote focuses on the core value Maka-tao. According to Abraham Lincoln, "A nation's strength lies in the homes of its people." This saying emphasizes that a country's true power comes from strong families, moral values, and resilient individuals. With these three important factors to consider, it could bring us to a stable foundation of society, allowing our country to prosper and reach a brighter future. 🏠👪

Even in small units, like our homes, we could start developing a sense of awareness by making small changes that slowly shape our values and guide society toward a better tomorrow. 💝🫂

The streets of San Jose, Antique, came alive on the morning of November 23, 2024, as Antique National School (ANS) revived its beloved Walk for Reading after a five-year hiatus. Organized by the English Department, this fundraising event aimed to purchase printers and provide essential printed materials for students who lack access to resources.

A vibrant wave of characters from beloved books and movies flooded the streets as students, dressed in their favorite costumes, confidently strutted from the school campus to EBJ Freedom Park. Their creativity and unity shone through as they proudly shouted their original yells and displayed their handcrafted props.

The energy continued in the plaza as selected students led an invigorating Zumba session. The excitement reached a peak as students showcased their creative costumes, vying for the coveted "Best in Costume" award.

The resounding success of the Walk for Reading is a testament to the power of community and shared commitment to literacy. The event brought together ANS students, teachers, and community members in a vibrant celebration of reading. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this special day!

Mrs. Mary Joy Vilvar (Officer-in-Charge of Barangbang Elementary School) then delivered welcoming remarks, establishing a positive and inclusive atmosphere.

Ms. Allyfa Eraga (English Club President) followed with a message about the importance of reading, sharing the quote: "Reading is like opening a treasure chest filled with amazing stories, incredible adventures, and endless possibilities." Ms. Beatriz Tabaque (Grade 7 English Club representative) also captivated the audience with a performance of the well-known story, "The Magic Porridge."

The distribution of books, overseen by Mr. Jenefer Merjuar (English Club Adviser), was the highlight of Project F.L.I.P.
