September 22 – Scintillating in
their crushed CD-covered costumes, behind them were frisky light effects and wafting
smoke, Grade 10 Zeus, led by their adviser Mrs. Mary Lourd Santos, astonished
the judges and the audience, garnering 98% during the Science Month culminating
activity.

Their closest
competitors were Grade 9-Hermes landing 1st place, and Grade 9-Hera,
second.
“In a dance
contest, the group should really dance as one,” commented Mrs. Merlita Abao, the
school’s Music teacher and one of the judges, after the program. She added that
‘if one dances best, the rest must also show the same best performance level;
otherwise, that one person must opt to perform alone’. According to her, the
winning teams possessed an obvious unity throughout the performance.
Divided into two
categories, the culminating activity provided an avenue for both elementary and
high school students to take their special moments to shine and to prove
they’re worth the awards. Supervised by Ms. Arianne Basallo, Grade 5 – Newton,
in the first part of the program, wowed the spectators in their
well-synchronized dance performance and outstanding melodies. They received an
exceptional 95.33% from the judges.

was Grade 5 – Faraday, then Grade 6 – Leeuwenhoek.
The Jingle Making
Contest, participated by Grades 4 to 6, highlighted human body systems. Grades
1, 2, and 3, on the other hand, had kept the atmosphere lively with their
admirable intermission numbers.
Before the second leg
of the awarding ceremony, Mr. Andrei Czesar Almarez, a Math teacher, with the
band from Grade 11, surprised the crowd in his remarkable rendition of Air
Supply’s “I’m All Out of Love” while
the spectators, giggling in excitement, wondered to whom the song was dedicated.
The program aims to
inculcate to students the invaluable contribution of science in making life
easy and convenient, and why science has to be optimized, according to the
school principal, Mrs. Mary Grace Arce, in her opening remarks.
