INTRO

 Commencement a word of French origin which means beginning. Indeed there is a good reason they
call ceremonies, commencement exercises. Graduation is not the end it is the beginning.

 Good Afternoon and Welcome to Sta. Catalina Primary School 1 st Commencement Exercises with the
theme “ Sabay- sabay na hakbang tungo sa Maunlad na Kinabukasan.”

PROCESSIONAL
 Ladies and Gentlemen. The processional.

Let us welcome the stake holders in education : PTA officers, Barangay Officials, Flormina and Sta.

 The month of March is one of the most awaited months on the part of the pupils as well of course
those parents who for their first time ever see their son or daughter be one of those members of
graduating class march during the processional. I am pretty sure that I’ts been already a month-long
waiting and preparation. Those feelings come into reality this day… on this 30 th day of March as we
will witness the 1st Closing Exercises of Sta. Catalina Primary School.

 Today, another history slowly unfolds as we come to an end of the school year 2016-2017. It’s been
almost months already that we have witness how these little lads and lasses proved their worth to
become a member of today’s graduating batch.

woman and a supportive school leader, our very own Ma’am Ma. Isabel M. Olivas, our Guest of
Honor, Colleagues , Brgy. Officials, PTA Officers, members of graduating batch, parents, guardians,
