Preschool Stage play a Success

Bohol Child Head Start’s ninth stage play entitled A Christmas with Grandma is a fun learning
experience for everyone especially the preschoolers, first and second graders.

What a great way to spend Friday the Thirteenth with friends family at Island City Mall’s Activity
Center by watching kids perform The Mittens and Three Little Pigs.

Stage play provides a fun avenue for students to learn values namely discipline patience and
various skills such as singing, dancing, and acting. Having this experience can open
opportunities to develop self-confidence and expose students to theater and arts.

After a month long practice and preparation, this year’s stage play is a success due to the effort
and support of the parents, teachers, and school administrators. It definitely takes a village to
raise a child.

BCHS conducts SPED Week

by Alaia Briel Go

Special Education (SPED) Week in Bohol Child Head Start is celebrated from January 27 to 31,
2020, with the theme “No CHILD Left Behind”.

SPED Week is a great opportunity for students, parents, guardians, school administrators and
teachers to rejoice and celebrate special education services and programs. This celebration is a
reminder that it is possible for children with disabilities to learn effectively and to reach their
full potential.

An opening program marked the weeklong celebration. Mrs. Maria M. Balane, school principal,
acknowledged that family is key in a child’s development. She also added that it takes a village
to raise a child. Mrs. Balane recognized and honored all parents, guardians, and teachers who
are working together in molding and teaching children with special needs.

The weeklong celebration involved a short talk by Dr. Kit N. Balane, school psychologist, and an
open forum for the parents. Students from the special intervention classes opened their booths
to showcase the different activities and projects they have done since the start of the school
year and at the same time sell some items that the teachers and parents helped in creating.

The students from the special intervention program performed during the contest called “You
Got Talent”. Out of the six performers, Marc Andrew Tampos, Christian Jhon Arceno, and
Gerard Tugonon emerged as winners. They were first, second, and third placers respectively.
There was a closing program and palarong pinoy to culminate the celebration.
