TSAA moving up day 2016 last April

Classes for SY 2016-2017 will start in two weeks time, and I have not posted the pics of the Moving up ceremony of Elle and Bien at the The School for Academics and Arts (TSAA) last April 08, 2016. So here goes.

Elle got Pythagoras/math award, Bien got multiple intelligence and Silver award. Done with Grade 4 and Kinder 2 respectively. We were proud parents :-)

The ribbons and medal.

New school Principal Jules Bermudez and the kids. Very passionate and hard-working head teacher and an artist himself, also fellow Peyups alumni.

The graduates that day, from Kinder to Grade schoolers this coming SY. Putting the TSAA sablay to Bien.

Elle's class performance, several songs and dance.

Bien and her classmates in a long poem, no notes, fully memorized. She didn't tell us about it at home, her teacher said "don't tell your parents, surprise them." :-)

Elle with her 6 classmates, Teachers Hannie and Mel.

Bien and her 5 classmates and very kind, hard-working and passionate teacher Vergie Gabaleo.

Playful, cheerful kids.

Proud parents, grandparents, ates and kuyas.

The final practice a day before. The last song and dance, "Don't stop believing" by The Journey.

Venue, The Spotlight Mac Center, 3rd floor, The Circuit, Makati. Beautiful auditorium -- lights, sounds, seats, air-con. And ample, wide, free parking (yet) at the ground.

The theme, beautiful theme, "I am Superstar. I am." And the program.

That day, ahhh, great day. thanks again TSAA, teachers Julius, Vergie, Hannie, Mel, others.

Lunch with co-parents of K2 and the kids.

I am actually sad that the 2 girls are not re-enrolling in TSAA. But then...

Preparing for TSAA Moving up day 2016

The School of Academics and Arts (TSAA) will be having its moving up event today. So Elle Marie and Bien Mary will be officially done with their Grade 4 and Kinder 2 schooling. Congrats girls, am very happy.

Last Monday, they have a special event at the school, 9-10:30am for the pre-schoolers and 10:30-12 for the grade schoolers.

The program, Elle's classmates on the left, Bien's classmates on the right.

The school's wall inside the lobby. These are the paintings of grade schoolers, Grade 1 to 4. I think some painting by the Kinder students too.

The small stage in the lobby. More paintings hanging on the ceiling.

Inside Bien's classroom. Teacher V asked them to spell some words, later asked them to write their answers to some basic math questions in  addition and subtraction. They also have a short dance number. Us parents were watching at the back.

Then they watched a short video presentation of their photos this school year. Having some laughter and play before watching the video.

On one wall of Bien's classroom.

One dance number that Elle and her classmates performed.

Inside their classroom, they have a few short games.

They wrote in this wall their description and feelings about the school.

Then back to the lobby. The last activity was an on the spot painting by the students. Well not a full painting, they just have to finish a pre-painted frame, add things that come to their imagination.

The moving up ceremony will be held 9am today at The Spotlight MAC Center, The Circuit, Makati. I saw the place yesterday, beautiful. Nice lights, great sound system, comfy elevated seats.
