 Carol’s Diary
On March 6, 2013, a great event
took place in our school. It was the
start of our annual foundation week.
Many contests and games were held and
big prizes were at stake. My friends and
I bagged the first place in the MTAP
competition for grade 5 pupils. We
were very happy and our teachers
congratulated us for being the winner.
 The next day I led the program
intended for our teachers and principal.
The pupil-participants of the program
showed their best in singing, dancing,
and even acting. It was a tiresome
afternoon but an exciting day.
 On the third day, we heard mass in
our school’s chapel and in the
afternoon a sports fest was held. Being
with my friends and classmates, while
participating in all the sports events is
an experience. We joined the relay
contest, volleyball, and badminton
games.
 We also launched the school
project dubbed as “May Pera sa Basura”
a day before the end of the week-long
celebration. We also served the
community through tree planting and
cleaning the environment.
 Finally, the much awaited moment
for us was the fifth day of the
celebration, the awarding ceremony was
held and we received our awards and
prizes. I felt so happy and relaxed
during the afternoon for I could already
rest. I thanked God because I learned
many things.
