ARAL Summer Reading Program 2026 | Culmination, Recognition, and Closing Ceremony
Today marks the successful culmination of the ARAL Summer Reading Program 2026 at Upper Paatan Elementary School. This achievement would not have been possible without the collective efforts, support, and commitment of individuals and organizations who share our vision of helping every child become a better reader and learner.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Public Schools District Supervisor, Maโam Rebella S. Dulay, for her continued guidance and support, and to our School Principal, Maโam Rubia B. Batua, for her inspiring leadership and unwavering commitment to the success of our learners.
Our sincere appreciation also goes to our AO II, Maโam Meashel Eugenio, for facilitating and endorsing our proposal to the Division Office and for providing valuable inputs that contributed to the successful implementation of the program.
We are equally grateful to the Barangay Local Government Unit of Upper Paatan headed by Punong Barangay Crispin Tangalin, and to Hon. Eliza Samson, Committee Chair on Education, for their support and dedication to educational programs that benefit our learners and the community.
A special thank you is extended to the Sangguniang Kabataan Officials headed by SK Chairperson Rey Mark Ancheta for their generosity and active participation in making this program more meaningful. Their provision of Jollibee meals for our ARAL learners and teachers brought joy and excitement to everyone and became one of the highlights of the program.
We would also like to acknowledge Teacher Leah T. Domingo for sharing her inspiring message with our learners, parents, and stakeholders during the culmination program. Your words of encouragement served as a reminder of the importance of literacy, perseverance, and lifelong learning.
Our deepest appreciation goes to the dedicated ARAL Team composed of Mr. Mark Dave Tangalin, School ARAL Coordinator and Tutor, together with Maโam Marichu Manzano and Maโam Suzette Corpus. Your hard work, patience, and commitment have helped our learners improve their reading skills and confidence.
To our parents and guardians, thank you for your trust and cooperation. Most importantly, congratulations to our ARAL learners for your dedication, enthusiasm, and determination to learn throughout the summer break. Your success is the true measure of this program's impact.
The success of the ARAL Summer Reading Program 2026 is a testament to what can be achieved when schools, families, local government units, community leaders, and stakeholders work hand in hand for the benefit of our children.
Together, we continue to create brighter opportunities and a stronger future through education.
