January 2018
Preschool
Your children are starting 2018 with much eagerness, as they tackle the amazing world of animals! As you know, animals are part of children’s environment. Many families have pets, with dogs and cats as the most common. Through both planned and spontaneous experiences, we will provide opportunities for the Nursery students to discover many things about pet animals throughout the month of January.
Also this month, the CJPS community will celebrate the Feast of Sto. Niño with a Holy Mass on January 19, 2018 at the CJPS Calumpang Campus. Details about this event will be communicated in the following days.
Finally, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support over our two school projects namely, the Grand Recycling Fiesta and Annual Christmas Outreach. It is because of the recyclables and donations that have been collected that we, as a family and a community, were able to make the respective Christmases of 100 children and hundreds of families from the Municipality of Binangonan a little brighter and merrier. In connection with this, we are happy to announce the Junior Kinder Maliksi as the winner for our Grand Recycling Fiesta. As their reward, the children from this class will be treated to an ice cream party on January 8, 2016 (Monday).
Grade School
As we start the New Year, the CLED and Values Education Department will be emphasizing among our pupils the importance of sharing and appreciating blessings received from God as we celebrate the Feast of Sto. Niño. When we look at the image of the Infant Jesus and contemplate God’s love that emanates from the face of the child, we also peer into our own helplessness and dependence on the benevolent Father. The Sto. Niño feast is an occasion for Filipino Catholics to gather as one community. Wherever the feast is celebrated, the message is the same – live with childlike appreciation for life’s blessings, simply and humbly. Jesus said: “Whoever does not accept the kingdom like a child will not enter it; whoever humbles himself like a child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven; whoever receives one child in My name receives Me.”
Through our children, may we be reminded to have that childlike obedience and trust in the Father, but let us always have that “adult” compassion for those in need.
In the same spirit of compassion and generosity, we would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your unending support to our Christmas Drive last December 2017. Your contributions reached many of our less fortunate brothers and sisters in the community.
Middle School
We have so far culminated major activities last month and we would like to thank you for actively taking part, especially in the Annual Christmas Drive Gift-Giving. Your generosity and sense of charity have reached and touched many lives.
At this juncture, we continue our journey through the academic year, with your child’s holistic progress as our primary goal. All year round, values formation is integrated in the daily lessons, across all disciplines. This month, the School, through the Christian Life and Values Education department, will provide diverse and specific activities that will focus on our students’ spiritual and moral facets of development. These activities will be classroom-based. Students will also be given an opportunity to reach out to other kids in the community as we conduct the MS Project SKL (Share Ko Love). Preparation for the said event will start this January. Our students will have their own means to be able to share love to the beneficiaries of this project in February.
Some of the major activities for the month of January are as follows:
- Our School community will celebrate the Feast of Sto. Niño on January 19, 2018. A Thanksgiving Mass will be held at the new school building in Calumpang.
- The next Parenting Seminar will be on January 20, 2018 at 9:30am. After this, issuance of third quarter report cards will immediately follow.
- The School Intramurals is set on January 31st – February 2, 2018.
High School
We would like to thank you for supporting once again, our Christmas Drive, which had become a blessing to more than 900 families in Binangonan. May God repay your generosity and kindness.
As the New Year starts, Child Jesus of Prague School will give emphasis on your child’s spiritual, moral and social development. The School, through the Christian Life and Values Education Subjects, will provide classroom-based activities that will promote awareness of the theme, “Family: Nurturing the Faith of Servant-Leaders for Evangelization”. Students will get the chance to learn more deeply about our Christian faith and likewise be exposed to exercises wherein they can showcase their communication and artistic skills.
Also happening this month is the 7th Parenting Seminar scheduled on January 20, 2018 from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm at the Calumpang Campus. Distribution of the Third Quarter Report Cards will immediately follow the seminar and will end at 2:00 pm.
Please be advised that we will strictly follow the given schedule and we expect your strict compliance on this matter.
