Achieving great things together through reading is what we continuously manifest in our beloved school. Hence, the Buwan at Araw ng Pagbasa which is being celebrated during the month of November has again showcased the creativity and camaraderie of the teachers; the involvement of our active and talented learners; and the supportive guidance of the parents.
With the theme "Sa Pagbasa, May Pag-asa" truly defines the importance of reading itself. Indeed, making every learner in Apad Elementary School a reader has been our goal and advocacy for the past years. Thus, we successfully accomplished many in the academes and other co-curricular activities even outside the division!
Yet, we are truly hopeful that the advocacy in instilling in every young mind the importance of reading may all be worth it for the success of everybody.
Hurray for your job well done, teachers! 👏🎉

Congratulations to your big success, Ervic James Estrabo, Magna Cum Laude, PUP-Manila with BA Journalism degree! 👏👏👏🎉
Your Alma Mater is so proud of you! Also, grateful for appreciating our efforts and remembering your teachers in your success. 😊 May God bless you more in your journey. 😇🙏

A written poem for the teachers of Apad ES

Cause Why Not?
by Brianna Andrei L. Genio
Grade 6 learner

Teacher as an Adviser, cause why not?
You gave us an ending admonish,
You are a listener, and a communicator,
You care about the students' future
And teach the students the hard fact
Of what discipline, responsibility and
Focus for a student with dreams and goals.

Teacher as an Artist, cause why not?
You always create an interesting lessons
And activities that engage their students every day.
You have no limits being creative for other teachers and students.
You always bring out the best in us.

Teacher as an Apostle, cause why not?
You teach us how to be a religious one.

Teacher as an Attendant, cause why not?
You ensure a safe environment for learning
To provide an atmosphere that makes learning comfortable,
In terms of growing, understanding, thinking skills, process and independent thought.

Teacher as an Administrator, cause why not?
You provide students with leadership, administrative, and
Management skills, knowledge and attitudes
That will enable them to create effective teaching and learning process.

A pause to celebrate and give thanks to wonderful teachers who have made great impact significantly in every learner's life. Their dignified role has brought joy, challenges, motivation and inspiration that both learners and parents have appreciated about.

Thus, the SPTA with the partnership of SELG of Apad Elementary School gave a special day of tribute to its amazing and fantastic teachers, making this the most memorable National Teachers's Day Celebration so far! Your effort has succeeded splendidly! Thank you for your appreciation and overwhelming effort to make this day a Happy Teachers' Day indeed!
