The School Spirit week, a High School
Student Council-sponsored event was held from July 26 to
July 30,
2004. Its chief aims are to recapture and evoke pride for the school
among students. Various activities, which were in accordance to the
themes for each day, were set by the different organizations of the
High School Unit namely Tinig, Project Earth, Pep Squad, Sports Club,
Art and Crafts Club, and Creative Writer’s Guild integrated in this
celebration. Kampil, Gabriela, Dance Club, Kapatid Music Ministry,
Curtain Call, Glee Club, and Computer Club participated also. Most of
all, the High School Faculty dance Troupe also gave their support for
the School Spirit Week and Return to 1980s Day celebration. With this
program, we specifically intended to fulfill the given objectives
which are also a part of the objectives of the High School Student
Council for this school year.
During
the first day, the Student Council formally opened the School Spirit
Week. In addition, an environmental awareness campaign was launched as
well as the “School Colors Day”. A sabayang pagbigkas and a
song were prepared to inform students of the environmental situation
we have in the country and in school. With this activity, the Student
Council and the environmentally concerned clubs wished to promote and
improve cleanliness in our surroundings. Moreover, a School Colors
Parade or parade of athletes as well as a cheer dance presentation
were prepared to get high school Scholasticans geared for the
fast approaching WNCAA. The other objective
of these activities is to further encourage the students to support
our athletes and cheerleaders in other competitions. The students,
faculty, as well as the administrators were present in this opening.
Last
Thursday, as continuation of the School Spirit Week, the Arts and
Literature was honored through an exhibit which was opened with
another display which was the “Return to 1980s Exhibit”, a
commemoration for the country, the women, and the High School
Scholastican Community of that decade. Paintings, drawings, poems,
articles, and photographs were put up for the unit to see. The
paintings and literary works all expressed the “Scholastican Spirit”
as perceived by the artists. Articles and photographs of the
socio-political situation of the country, of famous women, and
condition of the unit were also arranged to give Scholasticans an idea
of what it might have been like twenty years ago.
In
relation to the second theme of the week, the fourth day of the School
Spirit Week served as a day of the Performing Arts where a mini show
was put up for the community. Its purpose is to expose students to
more forms of arts and to showcase the creativity of the students. It
also intended to gather more support for outside performances and
competitions. A dance number and song presentations were organized by
the Dance Club and Kapatid Music Ministry. This mini program was held
that lunch time in the school grounds.
Lastly,
during the fifth day of the week-long presentation
and as a culmination for the whole event, a variety show that
reminisced the 1980s was prepared by clubs particularly Glee Club,
Curtain Call, Dance Club, and Computer Club. Students, teachers, and
guests were invited to wear 80s-inspired
accessories and attire. The best costumes/accessories for the
students were paraded and awarded during the day. This really gave the
High School Scholasticans a sense of how
St.
Scholastica’s College was like in that decade. The School Spirit Week
ended with a special 80s dance presentation by the High School Faculty
Dance Troupe.
