Last but not the least, Grade 2 – Lychee had their “Kiddie Valentine’s Ball” where the pupils wore beautiful clothes, conceptualized a slow dance and performed it inside their classroom. They also enjoyed sweet snacks while telling stories about their love for their family. By these simple yet meaningful activities, the pupils were taught the value of love in practical ways.

Fieldtrip 2015: Rave Rainforest and Dolljoy

The APDM students along with their teachers and parents visited the Rave Rainforest Park and the Dolljoy Gallery and Museum in Pasig City on January 22, 2015. The students enjoyed as they explored the park which offers a bunch of exciting attractions such as the Botanical Garden, Mini Zoo, Flower Park, Picnic Grove, Mini Train Station, the A-Maze Gardens and Playlands. After a hearty lunch at the picnic grounds, the group left the park and proceeded to the Dolljoy Gallery and Museum. The students and adults alike were able to embrace the child in them with the doll-making activities and the showcase in the museum. They feasted their eyes to a collection of more than 2,000 pieces of assorted dolls and toys. With the hope that the trip instilled in the hearts and minds of the kids the appreciation and love for environment and art, the tour left everyone tired but very happy nonetheless.

An APDM Christmas Carol

The Academia Progresiva De Manila had its very first Christmas program on December 19, 2014 with the theme, “An APDM Christmas Carol.” The pupils from the Preschool and Elementary Departments rendered different kinds of Christmas presentations. They also showcased creative Christmas costumes which made the pupils more adorable. After the Christmas program, each class also had their exchange gifts and enjoyed sharing delicious food. This activity not only allowed the kids to unleash their talents during the program, but also to learn the value of giving and sharing. This is another real-life learning opportunity for the pupils wherein they were taught how to express their love and generosity to the people around them without forgetting the real reason for the Christmas season – Jesus Christ who was born to fulfill His mission – to seek and serve the least of our brethren.

United Nations’ Day

Every October, the United Nations is celebrated worldwide to promote peace among nations. In the Philippines, children represent different countries through their costumes. This teaches children to respect and honor diversity. Academia Progresiva de Manila celebrated its first UN Day celebration. Each class represented and had a short performance about their country. All the students dressed-up and looked very regal with their costumes. The program started with a short prayer, followed by the Philippine National Anthem and the Opening Remarks by Austin Llanes. It was then followed by the parade of the students. After the parade, the kids showcased their talents through dancing. The performances ended with the UST Interns leading the community song entitled, “We are the World.” The UN Day was a total success with the cooperation of everyone working towards a common goal.

World Teachers’ Day

Who is your hero? People consider different heroes in life. For some, they may opt to say that their teacher is their hero. It is very humbling for the teachers to hear someone say these words. Thus, the Philippines had a month long celebration for our unsung heroes with the theme, “My Teacher. My Hero.” from September 5 – October 5, 2014. The Academia Progresiva De Manila culminated the National Teachers’ Month and celebrated the World Teachers’ Day with an intimate program inside the school premises. The school administration prepared simple yet fun teambuilding activities and sumptuous food courtesy of the Abelardo’s Diner. These heroes who celebrated the World Teacher’s Day may oftentimes be underappreciated, but they find sufficient fulfillment to see their pupils learn, live with good character, and find their purpose in this world.

PTA Assembly

On August 23, 2014, the APDM Parent Teacher Association (PTA) conducted a meeting to discuss the details of a fundraising event entitled: “Think Green: A Garage, Food and Bingo Fair.” The PTA, with the vision of upgrading and enhancing school facilities, agreed that the event will be held on March 1, 2015, Sunday at the APDM School Grounds. Further, it was discussed in the meeting that there should be three working committees. Mr. Toti Lara and Mrs. Tet Buenvenida headed the Garage Sale Committee, Mrs. Orange Erazo led the Food Fair Committee and Mrs. Lynie Lee represented the Bingo Committee. The said activity aimed to hone and develop the skills of students and instill in them an early sense of entrepreneurship and environmental and health consciousness. This endeavor surely created an avenue for families and friends to bond for a good cause while promoting the student’s holistic development and welfare.

Pistahan sa Academia: Tayo na’t Magkaisa

Ang pistahan ay isa sa mga napakasaya, pinakaaabangan at pinaghahandaang kaganapan sa Pilipinas. Sa ganitong pagkakataon nagkakaroon din ng pagkakaisa ang mga tao na ipagdiwang ang ating kultura. Ito ay naramdaman din noong ika-28 ng Agosto 2014 sa pinakaunang programa ng paaralan simula nang maitatag ito. Ipinagdiwang natin ang Buwan ng Wika na may temang, “Pistahan sa Academia: Tayo na’t Magkaisa.” Sinariwa sa programa kung gaano kayaman ang kultura ng mga Pilipino. Ang bawat baitang ay nagpakita ng iba’t ibang mga natatanging bilang patungkol sa kultura ng Pilipinas sa tulong ng kani-kanilang mga guro na matiyagang nagturo. Nagkaroon din ng payak na salu-salo ang lahat ng mga dumalo sa programa. Ang tagumpay ng pinakaunang programa ng Academia Progresiva De Manila ay produkto ng pagkakaisa ng lahat ng mga taong nagmamahal sa paaralan, sa kanilang mga anak at higit na lalo sa kultura ng Pilipinas. Tunay nga naman na may saya at pagkakaisa sa Academia.
