Celebration of Pitogo Community High School in National Reading Month 2023
In celebration of National
Reading Month 2023, Pitogo Community High School (PCHS) successfully
conducted various programs and activities in accordance with the theme
"Pagbasa: Pag-asa para sa Matatag na Kinabukasan"
The program commenced on
November 5, 2023, with a lively opening ceremony led by Ms. Diosa P.
Olase, PCHS Reading Coordinator, and PCHS Filipino and English teachers.
In addition to the
orientation about the upcoming school celebration for Reading Month, Ms.
Olase also read a story to the students, underscoring the significance of
reading.
Students from grades
seven and eight participated in contests such as poster-making, while students
from grades nine and ten created comic strips. Simultaneously, students from
grades 11 and 12 showcased their oratorical skills in a conventional speech choir.
The classes also conducted simultaneous reading
sessions prior to the culmination of the program.
The culminating activity
occurred on November 28, 2023, at 3:00 PM in the PCHS Junior High School
Department, where certificates and prizes were awarded to the deserving
winners.
Mrs. Rosario M. Bulfa,
Officer-in-Charge, delivered a meaningful message to the students, emphasizing
the importance of cultivating the habit of reading. She encouraged them to
delve into the world of knowledge through the stories found in books.
In his opening remarks,
Mr. Mar Z. Holanda, a language teacher, reminded everyone that despite living
in the age of technology, reading should not be neglected. He expressed that
reading has the power to transport individuals to places they wish to go
through the imagination fueled by books.
In his concluding
statements, he underscored the idea that students should embark on a journey
not just by boarding a ship but by traveling through the pages of a book.
"Lakbay hindi sakay
ng barko kundi lakbay sakay ng libro," said Mr. Holanda.
The event not only
celebrated the joy of reading but also instilled the significance of literature
in shaping the minds of the youth for a brighter future. #
