🧵 CREATIVITY, PERSEVERANCE, AND LOVE IN EVERY STITCH!🧵

August 14, 2026 | Basic Sewing Skills Training

Today, our wonderful parent-students continued practicing the Basic Sewing Skills they had previously learned—even without Ma’am Annie. ❤️🪡 Their dedication and determination to continue learning and applying their skills are truly inspiring!

With the available tela (fabric), they put their lessons into practice and created something meaningful for our school. Through their hard work, patience, and teamwork, they were able to make beautiful curtains for the Nursery Room, Kindergarten Room, and Grade 1 Room. 🏫🪟✨

What started as a simple sewing lesson has become a beautiful example of learning by doing, sharing talents, and serving our children and community. Every stitch represents patience, every cut represents courage to learn, and every finished curtain represents the love and effort of our amazing parents. ❤️

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all our parent-students for your time, effort, perseverance, and willingness to continue learning. And to Ma’am Annie, thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills that continue to inspire our parents even when you are not around. Your lessons truly live on through their hands. 🥰🧵

May this humble project remind us that when we learn together, work together, and serve with love, even simple pieces of fabric can become something beautiful and meaningful. 🌸

🙏 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

May God bless our hardworking parents, our teachers, and everyone who continues to share their gifts and talents for the children of Queen of Peace Child Development Center. 💙🙏

🧵 Learn. Create. Serve. Inspire. 🧵
✨ Every stitch tells a story of love, dedication, and hope. ✨

🕯️🙏 BRINGING THE MOTHER HOME: A JOURNEY OF FAITH, LOVE, AND DEVOTION🙏🕯️

August 8, 2026 — A beautiful day of faith and devotion for the entire Queen of Peace Family as we joyfully accompanied and brought home our beloved Inang Peñafrancia and Divino Rostro. 💙❤️

This meaningful journey was led by our devoted Sisters, Sr. Monica and Sr. Veni, together with our dedicated teachers, Teacher Fe and Teacher Arlene, our committed PTA Officers, Belle Manguiat and Eddel Joy Novallasca, our loving House Parent, the children from our orphanage, and Kuya Joseph.

Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to those who followed and joined us along the way—especially JV Corre, one of our PTA Officers, and Glichelle Bordonada, a loving parent who also took the time to join and accompany us. ❤️🙏

Bringing Inang Peñafrancia and Divino Rostro from one home to another is more than a simple journey. It is a beautiful expression of faith, love, unity, and devotion. With every step, we carried a prayer. With every tired moment, we carried hope. And with every home that welcomed Ina, we prayed that her presence would bring peace, comfort, blessings, and renewed faith to every family. 🕯️🙏

Today reminded us that faith becomes more beautiful when shared. Our Sisters, teachers, parents, PTA officers, house parents, and children walked together as one family in faith, carrying with us the deep Marian devotion that is close to the heart of every Bicolano.

May the visit of Inang Peñafrancia and Divino Rostro continue to bring families closer to God, strengthen those who are struggling, comfort those who are weary, and remind us that we are never alone in our journey of faith. ❤️

📖 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” — Psalm 33:12

🙏 Dios Mabalos to everyone who gave their time, strength, and love to accompany Ina on this meaningful journey.

May we continue to walk together in faith, serve with love, and carry the light of Christ wherever we go.

Viva La Virgen!
Viva Inang Peñafrancia!
Viva Divino Rostro!🕯️💙❤️

🕯️🙏 VIGIL OF FAITH, PRAYER, AND DEVOTION 🙏🕯️
Isang Oras ng Pagbabantay, Pananalangin, at Pag-aalay
🕐 1:00–2:00 P.M.

Sa tahimik na oras ng hapon, mula 1:00 hanggang 2:00 P.M., sama-samang nagbantay at nanalangin ang ating mga masisipag na teachers at dalawang mapagmahal na magulang bilang pagpapakita ng kanilang malalim na pananampalataya, debosyon, at pagmamahal sa Mahal na Ina. 🕯️💙

Sa loob ng isang oras, inialay natin ang ating mga panalangin para sa ating mga pamilya, mga anak, mga g**o, mga magulang, paaralan, at sa lahat ng ating mga pangangailangan at hangarin. 🙏

Sa bawat kandilang nagliliwanag, naroon ang simbolo ng pag-asa at pananampalataya. Sa bawat pagbigkas ng Rosaryo, naroon ang tahimik na pagsusumamo ng mga pusong nagtitiwala sa Diyos.

Isang oras lamang ang inilaan, ngunit napakalalim ng kahulugan ng pag-aalay na ito. Sa halip na gamitin ang oras para sa sariling pahinga, pinili ng ating mga teachers na maglaan ng panahon para sa pananalangin at pagbabantay. Sa gitna ng pagod at mga responsibilidad, pinili nilang huminto sandali, manalangin, at buong pusong ipaubaya sa Diyos ang lahat.

Bilang mga Bicolano, ang ating debosyon sa Ina ng Peñafrancia ay hindi lamang isang tradisyon. Ito ay pananampalatayang buhay—isang pagmamahal na ipinapasa mula sa puso ng bawat deboto patungo sa susunod na salinlahi. 🌹💙

“Magalak sa pag-asa, maging matiisin sa paghihirap, at maging tapat sa pananalangin.”
Roma 12:12

Maraming salamat sa ating mga **teachers at dalawang parents** na buong pusong nag-alay ng isang oras ng kanilang panahon, pagod, at panalangin.

Ang inyong presensya ay isang magandang saksi na sa kabila ng mga hamon ng buhay, may pusong marunong tumigil, lumuhod, manalangin, at magtiwala sa Diyos. ❤️

Nawa'y ang liwanag ng bawat kandilang ating sinindihan ay patuloy na maging liwanag ng pag-asa sa ating mga puso, pamilya, paaralan, at komunidad.

At sa pamamagitan ng ating Mahal na Ina, nawa'y patuloy nating maranasan ang mapagmahal na paggabay, pagkalinga, at awa ng Diyos.

💙 Viva La Virgen!
🙏 Viva Ina!
🌹 Ina ng Peñafrancia, ipanalangin mo kami.

Ina, kami ay iyong mga anak. Sa iyong pagkalinga, patuloy kaming nagtitiwala at umaasa. 🕯️❤️

🙏💛🤍 Morning of Faith, Love, and Devotion to Ina🤍💛🙏

August 7, 2026 | 8:45 A.M.

With hearts full of love, faith, and devotion, the Queen of Peace School family—our dear students, parents, teachers, and Sisters—gathered together in a beautiful and meaningful moment of welcoming and accompanying **Ina, Our Lady of Peñafrancia, and Divino Rostro.

As Ina passed through our community, the sound of joyful hearts and prayers filled the morning. Our young learners proudly waved their yellow and white flaglets, while our parents and members of the school community joined them in prayer, creating a beautiful sea of faith and devotion. 💛🤍

For us Bicolanos, Ina is more than a beloved image—we welcome her as a mother who brings comfort, hope, strength, and love to her children. In every “Viva La Virgen!” is a prayer from the heart; in every raised flaglet is a joyful expression of our faith; and in every step we take with Ina is a reminder that we are never alone.

The celebration continued with the Holy Mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Marlon, where we gathered as one family before the Lord. We offered our prayers, thanksgiving, hopes, and intentions—especially for our children, families, teachers, Sisters, and the entire Queen of Peace community.

What made this moment even more special was seeing our children and parents united in faith**. Our little ones may still be young, but through moments like this, they are learning the beautiful Bicolano tradition of honoring and loving Ina—a devotion passed from one generation to another. ❤️

Today was more than a gathering. It was a reminder of who we are as a community: a family rooted in faith, united in love, and strengthened by prayer.

May Ina, Our Lady of Peñafrancia, continue to walk with us, watch over our children, bless our families, and bring us ever closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

From our hearts, we pray:

Viva La Virgen! 💛🤍
Viva El Divino Rostro!🙏
Viva Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia!

O, Ina, tabangi kami, bantayi an satuyang mga aki, pamilya, asin komunidad. Idugang mo kami sa saindong pagmahal asin itanos kami pirmi ki Jesus.

🙏💛🤍 Dios Mabalos, Ina! 🤍💛🙏

🍽️❤️ A Table Filled with Love, Hearts Filled with Gratitude ❤️🍽️

As our 13th School Foundation Day and Nutrition Month Celebration came to a close, we gathered as one family to share a simple yet meaningful fellowship lunch. Through the generous food sharing prepared by our loving parents, we experienced the true spirit of kindness, unity, and selfless giving.

Every dish shared was a reflection of your love, generosity, and commitment to our school community. More than the food on the table, it was the joy, laughter, and warm conversations that made this gathering truly unforgettable.

To all our dear parents, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support, generosity, and partnership. Your kindness reminds us that when families and the school work together, we create a community where every child feels loved, valued, and blessed.

May God continue to bless each of your families with abundant love, good health, and countless blessings.

"How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" — Psalm 133:1

Together, we celebrated not only a successful event but also the beautiful gift of faith, friendship, and family. May we continue to grow together in love, service, and gratitude.

💚 Thank you, dear parents, for making this celebration truly special. God bless you all! 💚

🏆🌿Creativity, Confidence, and Caring for God's Creation! 🌿🏆

One of the most exciting highlights of our 13th School Foundation Day and Nutrition Month Celebration was the Grand Final Round of the Recycled Costume Competition.

From Nursery 1, Nursery 2, Kindergarten, and Grade 1, the Top 8 Finalists—4 boys and 4 girls—advanced to the championship round after impressing everyone with their creativity and confidence.

During the final ramp, each finalist proudly showcased their recycled costume while their parents shared the inspiration behind their designs and explained the recycled materials they creatively transformed into beautiful and meaningful outfits. Their teamwork reflected the importance of caring for our environment through creativity and resourcefulness.

Choosing the winners was no easy task. Our judges carefully evaluated every contestant, as each costume was unique, inspiring, and beautifully crafted.

🏅 In recognition of the parents' exceptional creativity, dedication, and support, we also proudly presented the Most Outstanding Eco Parent Award to one parent of a boy finalist and one parent of a girl finalist. This special award honors parents who demonstrated outstanding commitment to environmental awareness by creating remarkable costumes from recycled materials while inspiring their children to become responsible stewards of God's creation.

🎉 Congratulations to all our winners, finalists, participants, and our Most Outstanding Eco Parents! Your creativity, teamwork, and love for the environment have inspired our entire school community.

💚 Our sincere appreciation goes to our distinguished judges for their time, fairness, and expertise, and to all the parents, teachers, guests, and supporters who made this celebration a memorable success.

The program concluded with heartfelt Closing Remarks by School Minister Sr. Merlinda Punay, CFSOP, who thanked everyone for their unwavering support and encouraged families to continue promoting healthy living, environmental responsibility, and Christian values.
