CDSMMS CLASS OPENING, SUCCESSFUL

POST FROM https://www.facebook.com/casadesanmiguelmontessori/ 

The first week of school is successful. We'd like to thank the parents, students, teachers, school personnel, and administrators for having diligently worked together for a great school year start. To all Miguelians, let our commitment to becoming excellent and responsible be kindled in our hearts. Together, we can surely have a wonderful year ahead!

BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 @ Casa de San Miguel Montessori School

The road to school is rocky but the ultimate goal of anyone who enters is to achieve excellence and wisdom. The road reminds the Miguelians that in achieving great things, they have to strive and to struggle. They must furthermore cling to the lovely values instilled in them by their educators who are so willing to guide them.

We love schooling. That may be disagreeable to some but for students who committed themselves to lifelong learning, those are words that excite them. It's June again and families are becoming busier in preparation for their kids' return to schools. The smell of new school appliances ignites children's motivation and great longing to see their friends and teachers. The time for vacation or unwinding has quickly elapsed and whatever fun and extraordinary jaunt in so many places it might have provided, nothing beats the special space schooling has occupied in kids' hearts. That is a natural reaction of the body towards the beginning of a new significant event in life.

Like any institution, a school is a self-sustaining community. It requires citizens who harmonize and collaborate through its rules and by its rewards. Being a student of Casa de San Miguel Montessori School (CDSMMS), from a teacher's perspective, is something overwhelmingly associated to excellence and colossal academic achievements. When students attain mastery of content and skills, the community itself rejoices and the achievements generated are tantamount to the school's clear statement of reputation. How is this quality education sustained? The teachers of the school are so dedicated, competent, and caring. In CDSMMS, for an instance, students who transfer to other schools are common. After a year, those students would come back and confirm the advanced curriculum in CDSMMS they had enjoyed before. They would say that lessons they encountered in other schools had already been tackled in CDSMMS; consequently, they exceptionally excel in many subjects. 

While schooling may be difficult for Miguelians, this caring community ensures that learning effectively transpires. It can be remembered when Plato, a Greek philosopher had an inquisitive student. The student wanted to have the same wisdom which Plato possessed and embodied. One day, Plato invited the learner to join him in the river. They immersed themselves in the rushing water. Plato held the student's head and forcefully pushed it down the water. The student tried to resurface to gasp for breath but Plato resisted. When the man could no longer take it, the philosopher set his head free, saying, "Learning is like gasping for breath. You need to struggle to have it." From then on, the student was enlightened.

This coming class resumption, The Miguelians, CDSMMS official campus paper, hopes that Miguelians' schooling will be fun and more engaging. Students' return in schools signify new challenges and achievements to come. Kudos, Miguelians!

ALONG THE BOULEVARD

Dark, dusty clouds gnarl the firmament 
And cast shadows, exude om'nous scent;
All men scamper beneath the old trees bent,
Fearing the wind and the storm it's sent.

Lights lingered then left, then lost our sight
In the dreariest darkness of night.
Roaring thunders, scintillating scythes
So deafening, so dazzlingly bright. 

Cold big drops outside drop drip drop drip...
Mom and kids have hot porridge to sip.
T'is a mem'rable bonding they'll keep
Till the raging storm lulls them to sleep... 

*This poem was written upon seeing very dark clouds like boulders covering Bacoor as seen at Molino Boulevard (now Bacoor Boulevard) yesterday around 6pm.

WHEN IT RAINS IN SCHOOL

                            When the rain drops trickle down my temples 

I remember the very day in school I trembled. 

I trembled because I saw new faces

And felt a bit shaky with my new shoe laces.

I dropped my fresh-from-factory black bag

And thought of niceties I might about brag.

My classmates and I exchanged pleasantries

Till we shared our packed milk and cookies.

What a nice day for me, I wildly thought

With these school supplies my Mom for me bought,

And with friends I've constantly sought

And knowledge so carefully in me wrought.

Here she comes! She's walking briskly!

The beautiful teacher looked so witty and spunky!

I fixed my polo and quickly flattened my back

And felt my hair, then, pulled my right sock.

Good morning, children! So softly spoken.

Everybody chuckled, silence was broken.

That's how my wondrous schooling started...

                               When the dark sky's ice slowly melted.

NEW TEACHER AT CDSMMS CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF HEROISM

“Heroism is more appreciated when it is done for the helpless and the poor.” A new teacher at Casa de San Miguel Montessori School (CDSMMS) was found attending to a wounded street child beside McDonald’s parking area in Talaba IV, May 11.

It was around 8am when she was seen cleaning and bandaging the bleeding right foot of the boy named Alvin. According to her, the boy’s foot was lacerated by a broken softdrink glass. It has been two weeks already since she spotted Alvin walking lamely and began visiting him to clean his foot every morning before heading to school and every afternoon after work.

According to the new teacher, she is a member of the Philippine Red Cross. She is a fresh graduate from a university in Manila. Find out who she is, dear Miguelians, when classes resume in June!
