Today, Tawang Elementary School faculty headed bybthe new Principal Sir Jerome Tulic, pupils, some parents, former principals, Ma'am Esther Rizaldo and Sir Mark Binay-an, and our PSDS, Sir Delarosa V. Delmas paid tribute to Ma'am Evelyn Tagtag through the Mabuhay Pasasalamat Program. Ma'am Evelyn is one of the longest serving teacher of Tawang Elementary School. She spent 34years and a month in her teaching career and today, her retirement in the service was officially announced.
For sure, she is one of the most memorable teacher not only to her colleagues but most of all to her former students. She is mostly remembered teaching EPP, TLE, and HELE subjects where she taught her students culinary, agricultural, entrepreneurial and tailoring skills.
Personally, I remember her being our EPP teacher way back when I was in Grade 5. I still can vividly remember her when she taught our class how to make tomato jam, and preserved mangoes in a jar. When our preserves were fermented, she brought our class at the grassland area at the back of our school and we had a 'picnic' with our preserves. That was a memorable moment with her as our teacher. 😊.
Moments like this make me reflect the impact of a teacher to the lives of her students. Indeed, teaching is the noblest profession because it is more of giving yourself away for others welfare than receiving something for yourself. 💪
No words can truly express how grateful we are to her as our colleague, and as my former teacher.
Ma'am Evelyn Tagtag, have a longer and more blessed life🙏
