The Eastbridge School of Montalban, a Multiple Intelligences School, and may still be one of its kind in this town, held its Recognition, Moving-up and Graduation ceremony at the CVJ Grand Ballroom in Marikina last March 24. CVJ offered a fitting venue for such a highly-formal occasion attended by no less than the Mayor and First Lady of Montalban whose grandson is attending the school and the mommies who didn't spare any effort to dress up together with their kids in formal dresses or gowns and the daddies who came in their barongs or coat and ties. There's no mistaking that after three years of operation as a school, Eastbridge has never gone down in its special treatment of an occasion such as this. And if there is any graduation most memorable, elegant and well attended, it is this one.
The day kicked off at 4:00 P.M. with cocktails for all attendees. Then the program proper began at 4:45 and went on until 7:15 P.M. More than 300 medals were given out to 90 students covering outstanding performances in academics, Multiple Intelligences and co-curricular activities. The plum award for the year, The Eastbridge Child Award, given to a student that best represents the holistically developed individual excelling not only academically but also emotionally and spiritually, went to Xyril Nietes, also a second honors student of the Prep Class 2008-2009.
This year's special guest speaker was Mr. Emil Tacata, an educator all his life and President/Owner of Star Kids Development Learning Center with branches in Tondo and Bulacan. He gave the kids a seven-minute talk about this year's theme: "Bloom Where You're Planted." by emphasizing on the spiritual uniqueness of every child and that uniqueness is what may enable each and every one of them to bloom as God intended them to.
A touching portion of the program was in the singing of "Iingatan Ka" tribute to parents. There were some wet eyes among the audience as the kids belted it out with all the feelings they could muster to bring their message of thankfulness across to their parents.
Knowing that the school is only as good as its teachers, recognition was also given to all teaching staff . Teacher Andrea, who joined the school two years ago also received special citation for garnering the highest evaluation score in class observations conducted by the school administrators for all its teachers regularly. The Parent Teachers Fellowship (PTF) gave her Gift Certificates for this achievement. The kids also gave a raucous welcome to the two incoming teachers for school year 2009-2010 Teachers Lea and Rhea who are incidentally twins and graduates of Childhood Development degrees from Miriam College and have Masters Degree units underway.
