They were about to walk from the school and walk around the nearby houses, the aim of this parade is to let the other people not only the pupils that the month of October is the“Scouting Month”. Wherein, Boy Scout and Girl Scout campings were about to begin.

“Laging Handa” .. This is the undying motto of the Boy Scout of the Philippines. Since every year the BSP is conducting an activity, by this year their first activity is the PLTC wherein it does preparing the youth who are about to enter the Boy Scout world. The said activity was held in Juan Sumulong Elementary School last . It was a very fun activity since everyone did their best, they met new friends from other schools, and they gained an experience that they will treasure forever.

A card is maybe just a piece of cardboard with numbers and letters written in it, but for a pupil who really work hard, it is a trophy, a fruit or a success that he/she may show to his/her parents with a big and confident smile.
Feeding Program 2014-2015...
Graduation 2014-2015 ...
March 26,2015
Elementary school is more or less the first stage of institutional education that we receive, and it is at least the first one that counts. It represents the first seven to eight years of school depending on state or country. After elementary school graduation, children are supposed to go to high school, which in turn prepares them for college and beyond. But how important is graduation for elementary school? When we bring the subject in discussion, we mean the importance that schools and parents have set on it in the past years, by celebrating this event like it were high school or even college graduation. Is this event that important that it requires full robe ceremonies and parties?
Many people are of the opinion that elementary school graduation is celebrated more than it should, and that by doing that it rewards children more than it should. The tradition of making ceremonies and parties for the elementary school as well, generally began at the schools’ attempts to involve parents more at this stage of their children’s education. Because levels of study and graduation were declining, schools thought the parents would prevent this if they were more aware of their children’s achievements and if they realized the importance of elementary school. All this is fine and acceptable, but some feel that through this, the children are taught that they need to be rewarded for every stage in their lives and for every achievement.
It is true that elementary school graduation should be celebrated; it is an important passing for both children and parents, it is and ending and a new beginning. The children will move on to new classes or new schools, and their status is society is changed; transitions like these should be observed, but in countries like America, this has been blown out of proportion. The graduation events and parties that are organized for elementary school are so professional and advanced, so expensive and elaborate that it raises questions about the values we teach our children.
That's why, our school, Cupang Elementary School - Annex, as a part of the DepEd family we had finally came into our graduation, the day that our pupils will be recognized, they will surely say that their sacrifices in elementary had already come to an end. But, as far as we know, this is is just the beginning of their journey towards higher education. Their graduation we're finally done last March 26, 2015, in our school grounds.
