Family Day Celebration Strengthens Unity

Niña Maria Learning Center joyfully celebrated its Family Day on November 23, 2025, bringing the pupils, parents, staff, sisters, and teachers together for a meaningful day of unity and fun. The celebration began early in the morning as all Niña Maria Learning Center pupils gathered at the school at 5:00 a.m. Pupils lined up according to their grade levels, proudly holding their section banners. The excitement was felt as a marching band led the parade from the school to the Barangay Nazareth Covered Court, filling the streets with music and cheerful smiles.

The program officially started at the covered court and was hosted by Teacher Pia Vevialyn Codriga and Sir Camael Cagas. An opening prayer was led by Teacher Rodelle Guzman, reminding everyone of the importance of faith, gratitude, and togetherness. After the prayer, parents and pupils shared a simple but heartwarming breakfast of arroz caldo and eggs. This moment showed the spirit of sharing and care among families and the school community.

The main program was filled with enjoyable activities prepared for everyone. There were games for children, fathers, mothers, and whole families, which brought laughter and excitement to the crowd. Different dance presentations were also showcased by families, showing their talents and teamwork. The teachers also surprised everyone with their own dance presentation, which made the audience cheer and applaud with joy.

The Family Day celebration ended with a class pictorial together with the families, capturing memories that will be cherished for long time and closing prayer led by Teacher Kaye Villarico. Through this event, Niña Maria Learning Center showed the importance of strong family bonds and cooperation between the school and the home. Family Day was not only a day of fun, but also a reminder that learning becomes more meaningful when families, teachers, and school administrators work together as one community.
