This event not only marked a revival of a cherished tradition but also exemplified the resilience of our community in the face of adversity.

Traditionally, the Grade 3 students have been visiting their kuya seminarians, forming bonds that transcend age and background. The pandemic-induced hiatus had left this heartwarming interaction in limbo. However, on August 15, 2023, the wait came to an end. The school community rejoiced as the reach out activity resumed, reflecting the determination to adapt and create meaningful experiences even amidst challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unique experience holds a profound purpose – to broaden the horizons of our students by allowing them to witness different walks of life. By interacting with the kuya seminarians, our Grade 3 students gain invaluable insights into other realities, fostering empathy, understanding, and open-mindedness. As they engage in conversations and share stories, they transcend the boundaries of age and status, forging connections that expand their perspectives and nurture their character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this heartwarming event, the values that our school holds dear shone brightly. Universalism, a cornerstone of our ethos, was palpable as the students interacted with the kuya seminarians. Regardless of their differences, the shared sense of humanity bridged gaps and dissolved barriers. This undertaking not only aligns with our commitment to holistic education but also exemplifies the charism of St. Candida Maria de Jesus, whose teachings emphasize the importance of understanding, compassion, and reaching out to those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the reach out activity on August 15, 2023, was not just an event; it was a testament to our community’s resilience, empathy, and commitment to growth. The revival of this tradition symbolized our ability to adapt and thrive, even in challenging times. As our Grade 3 students once again connected with the kuya seminarians, they absorbed lessons that extend far beyond the classroom, embodying the spirit of universalism and the charism of St. Candida. This experience will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on their hearts and minds, nurturing them to become compassionate and understanding global citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
