STEM A

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, QUEEN! 👑🎉

The woman with the legendary attendance list — from absentees to “Ma’am, late po si ano,” you’ve handled it all like a true boss. As our class secretary, you memorized our names, decoded our wildest excuses, and somehow stayed sane through it all. You were low-key, the reason most of us passed our attendance. Honestly, we don’t know whether to thank you or apologize for all the trouble you had to put up with. 😅

Now that you are officially stepping into adulthood, may your lists get shorter, your rest get longer, and your patience stay rock solid — because let’s face it, life will still throw some “Ma'am, late po si…” moments your way, just less official now. Keep slaying with that calm energy and lowkey boss aura — real Queen behavior through and through.

Here’s to 18 years of excellence and a lifetime of wins ahead! 💼✨

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESHMOND! ✨🎊🎂

A last-minute miracle worker? Maybe.
A good man? Absolutely.
A total package? No doubt.

Today, we celebrate someone who’s not just a top-tier achiever, but also the man behind some of the best pubmats we’ve seen. Known for his undeniable skills, unwavering principles, and effortlessly charming looks, he continues to inspire us not just through his work, but through who he is as a person.

But beyond the achievements, the skills he got, and the dangerously good looks, what makes him truly admirable is his character. A man grounded in principles, driven by passion, and genuinely kind, a rare kind of man that anyone would be lucky to know.

As you step into this new chapter of adulthood, may you continue to thrive and inspire. Here’s to more success, more last-minute grinds, and for the wins you've already earned and the even greater things waiting ahead.

Welcome to the 18’s club, Jeshmond! All the love from your STEM A family 💞

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." — Albert Einstein

Research is not just about results—it’s about the countless sacrifices, sleepless nights, and unwavering dedication behind every discovery. To all the researchers who poured their time and effort into this Research Fest, your hard work and perseverance do not go unnoticed. Every challenge you faced and every obstacle you overcame brought you closer to knowledge that can make a difference. Your passion and commitment are truly inspiring.

Along the way, friendships were tested—some became stronger, while others almost ended (but we know that’s just part of the journey!). The long hours, endless revisions, and shared struggles created bonds that will last beyond this event. The pursuit of knowledge continues, and so does the adventure with the people who stood by your side. Keep questioning, keep exploring, and keep pushing boundaries—because research never stops!

Congratulations to all the researchers🎉, especially to STEM A! Your hard work has truly paid off!

Happy Birthday sa nonchalant ng STEM A, Franchesca Nica Sabado!

I know you’ll probably brush this off like, “It’s just another day,” because being nonchalant is your thing. But let’s be real—deep down, I know you’re soaking in the good vibes, even if you pretend not to care. And honestly, that’s part of what makes you so great. You’ve got this effortless way of being cool without trying, and it’s one of the many reasons people love having you around.

And now, here you are turning 18—a milestone that’s as big as it is exciting. Knowing you, you’ll probably take it in stride and turn the moment into something completely your own, just like you always do.

So today, even if you don’t make a big deal about it, I hope you know how much you’re appreciated and admired. May your day be as cool, creative, and unapologetically you as ever. Cheers to adulthood—something I know you’ll handle with your signature humor and style!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… 🎶❄️

It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year! Not all because of the gifts, but realizing that we are truly blessed to share this year’s journey filled with countless moments that we’ll surely cherish forever. From early mornings and late night challenges that pushed us to aim for more achievements and inspired us to be better. We’ve built unexpected friendships that felt like family, shared laughter, and created memories. As we celebrate the end of an unforgettable year, let’s take a moment to appreciate everything we have accomplished, the lessons we've learned, and the bonds that made this year special.

This year, 12 STEM A has been a whirlwind of challenges, teamwork, and caffeine-fueled nights. From meeting new teachers to creating award-winning booths and dominating the Reading Book Corner competition, we made every moment count. By November, it felt like we practically lived at school—deadlines piled up faster than we could keep track of, with DNA projects and the PERDEV music video adding to the madness. But like the champs we are, we powered through, bringing our A-game to the hip-hop competition and somehow made it onto the Top 5 TikTok trend, all while juggling everything else without missing a beat.

The 12 STEM A 2024 Year-End Party was a day filled with laughter, fun, and cherished memories. The day began with a photo booth and a photo board that exhibited our journey over the last two years, with an added Christmas tree made of elves with our baby pictures. We played "Dress to Impress," "Shoot Mo Bes!", and "Hep-Hep Hooray!" which brought out our competitive sides and left everyone laughing. In "Mahaba Ba Iyan?," we formed the longest line using the items we brought with us, which takes teamwork and resourcefulness to do so. The raffle got us excited, and during the awarding ceremony, it made us feel appreciated. We end the day with "Itali Mo Na Yarn," where colorful yarns were tied to those who best embodied certain traits, leaving us with a warm sense of warmth and connection.

The year has been an incredible journey for 12 STEM A, filled with unforgettable challenges, achievements, and memories. From meeting new teachers and forming bonds that felt like family to winning competitions and managing countless deadlines, the class proved their resilience and teamwork. Our Year-End Party was the perfect way to celebrate, with fun games, raffles, and meaningful moments that brought us closer together. As the year ends, take this time to rest, recharge, and cherish the lessons learned. Let’s meet again with smiles on our faces and new wisdom to guide us forward. Happy holidays to all!
