Under the new normal: SBS celebrates Catholic Educators’ Day

BY DAPHNE DE LEON

JANUARY 27, 2023 — Teachers are mentors who bring out every student’s understanding towards their future. They are inspiring individuals that we should celebrate.

Catholic Educators’ Day is held on the 27th day of January. It is an important event before the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas, who is known to be the patron saint of catholic educators, on the 28th of January. For the past two years, there were no celebrations that took place because of the pandemic. But this year, the Student Council Officers and the Supreme Student Government organized a special program to acknowledge and commemorate the teachers of St. Bridget School. Before the program started, the SBS Faculty and Staff were welcomed with music performed by the school’s DXC band.

At exactly 8 am, the program started with an impersonation called “Teacher’s Mini Me” in which selected students went up on stage to introduce themselves as a teacher look alike. It was followed by the performances of the students from different grade levels which varied from singing, dancing, and rondalla. Some also wrote letters for the teachers and read them on stage. These were all wonderful ways to make the teachers of St. Bridget School, who constantly work hard in letting their students’ light shine, feel loved and appreciated on their special day.
