🏅 Update: We did it! On its fourth try, the Eastbridge Math Team brought home the gold at the Regional Competition. Read the story →
Last Monday, November 11, 2019, Eastbridge participated in the Rodriguez Private Schools Association (ROPRISA) Academic Competition and almost swept all the categories. Of the four subject areas that advance up to the Regional Competition — Araling Panlipunan (AP), Science, Spelling, and Mathematics — Eastbridge won first place in all except AP, where it placed second.
Today, all three teams went to the Rizal Private Schools Association (RIPRISA) competition and won third place in Science, second place in Spelling, and — for the fourth time in a row — first place in Mathematics.
This Saturday, November 16, the Math Team will compete in the Regional Competition in Tagaytay. The question that persists in the mind of the team's coach, Teacher Rolyn Perez: will the kids finally bag the gold on their fourth try? Eastbridge went to the Regional three years ago and came home with third place, then finished second two years in a row.
The team — Jayden Isaac Pondoc from Grade 6, Dylan Josant Valerio from Grade 5, and Cedric James Sigua from Grade 4 — carries a big weight on their shoulders to bring home the bacon on this fourth try, especially after the Dance Troupe's Regional Championship last September.
Our prayers go with the team as the kids vie for the gold. Please pray with us.
