ABES ARAL SUMMER PROGRAM 2026 |
KICK-OFF & PARENTS ORIENTATION ✨📚
May 6, 2026

A meaningful and exciting start to our Summer Saya sa Aral 2026!

The activity began with a solemn preliminary prayer and the singing of Lupang Hinirang, followed by an energetic opening through our Aral Summer Program theme song dance 💃🕺 that truly set the mood for learning and fun!

We were inspired by the warm opening message of our School Principal I, Leopoldo C. Cadena Jr., emphasizing the importance of collaboration in shaping our learners’ success. 💬

Parents were guided through the program via an informative AVP posted on Deped regional FB page, with questions thoughtfully addressed by our School Reading Coordinator, Jumar C. Digol, ensuring clarity and shared understanding. 🤝

A heartfelt moment was witnessed during the Pledge of Commitment, led by Nenita G. Caro, Master Teacher III, where both parents and tutors expressed their support and dedication to our learners’ journey. 💖

The program concluded with closing remarks and a joyful session where learners met their Aral tutors and were introduced to their assigned classrooms—followed by a fun get-together activity! 🎉

Together, we begin this journey of learning, growth, and success. 💙

Oooppss…He did it again!
Fresh from his graduation at A. Bonifacio Elementary School, young achiever Raine Andrei C. Bayer has once again brought pride to his alma mater after securing the Top 1 rank in the highly competitive Daniel R. Aguinaldo National High School (DRANHS) Science, Technology and Engineering (STE) Admission Process for School Year 2026–2027.
The Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) program is known for its rigorous screening, often requiring strong academic performance and competitive examination results, making Bayer’s achievement even more remarkable. (Sanhs)
Bayer’s outstanding performance reflects not only his academic excellence but also his dedication and passion for learning. His recent graduation from A. Bonifacio Elementary School marked the beginning of a new journey—one that now leads him to a prestigious science-oriented program where he is expected to further hone his skills.
With heartfelt appreciation, acknowledgment is extended to his parents, the school leadership, and mentors who supported and guided him throughout his journey—from ABES Principal Leopoldo C. Cadeña, Jr., to Talomo East District Supervisor Marilyn L. Marcelo, and especially, to all his ABES teachers—for their unwavering encouragement, guidance, and steadfast commitment to nurturing his potential.

Numbers, Dreams, and Determination: The Story of Raine Andrei

In the halls of A. Bonifacio Elementary School, where young dreams quietly take shape, one name now echoes with promise—Raine Andrei C. Bayer.
For Raine, numbers are not merely lessons; they are challenges waiting to be conquered. This passion carried him to the National Rapid Math Contest on February 21, 2026, where his speed, focus, and precision earned him a place among the winners—a moment that marked not just victory, but purpose.
Yet his journey did not end there.
With determination as his guide, Raine faced the Philippine Science High School System (PSHSS) National Competitive Examination (NCE) for School Year 2026–2027—and emerged a qualifier, opening doors to a future shaped by science and excellence.
As he took the stage for his Grade 6 Graduation, he did so with Highest Honors, a symbol of years of quiet perseverance and unwavering commitment.
More than medals and recognition, Raine’s story is one of grit and growing dreams—a reminder that even the simplest beginnings can lead to extraordinary heights.

CONGRATULATIONS, Andrei! Your ABES family is very proud of you.
To God be the glory!
