XMAS 911
For all its birthing pains and techno jinxes, 24 the Christmas program had all the symptoms of a blockbuster - there was music, singing ladies, dancing teeners, prancing crazy reindeer, FIREWORKS!, rapping and a ROCK band, cute lead stars, and parents who stayed the whole night applauding and clicking their cameras away.
The place was packed with food, guests, and cheers that it made all its behind the scenes organizing worth it and worth it to push it better for the other shows we got lined up for HEdCen.
Erica Torres was fabulous on voice over. Pito Fernandez was lovable as buddy. Paula Capanas was Teacher Emma to the max.
Of course, who could forget the Grade Four and Will. I. Anton Garcia in their centerpiece number?
The reindeer teachers were out of their minds and in their element. Coach Juaqui as Leonidas the Claus was simply over the top. In fact, we can expect KUMON enrolment to spike even further from now on.
Hearing the Rondalla was nostalgic and definitely worth the grooming - those stars will shine again in days and shows to come.
There were so many noteworthy performances from the Third Year to the Grade One (who wowed one and all) to the First Year serenading and dancing, you just simply had to see it to believe it and enjoy it.
All the grade schoolers came bedecked in red, the high schoolers garbed in green, and the teachers swathed in white - Christmas is truly all around with all these joyous colors.
Thanks to the parents for sharing the evening with their wonderful talented children.
Merry Christmas everyone.
On Bethlehem Descend
ON BETHLEHEM DESCEND
No golden crown or pomp men wrought
heralded the birth
No velvet robes or scepter orbed
adorned the cradle’s girth
On naked straw in feeding trough
was spread no satin, plush or lace
Yet from far and near, we are called
to this most humble place
Behold the wonder born this night, on Bethlehem descend
Let love and adoration grow in all, on Bethlehem descend.
A blessed Merry Christmas, everyone!
In 1980s Style
Last December 11, the school had the students bedecked in 1980’s attire (not “costumes,” as Teacher Connie remarks in her blog). The occasion for retro fashion found me screaming “PHOTO OP, PHOTO OP!!!” As you can see, the guys and girls were happy to oblige…
See the rest of the pictures in the “In 1980s Style” album.
ADDENDUM: Teacher Emma has her own post with a link to another photo album on her blog! Check it out!
Better Late Than Never: The High School Graduates of 2008 Photo Gallery
Remember these guys and gals?
We’ve been getting visits recently from our alums from the High School Batch of 2008, prompting me to remember that someone never did get around to posting pictures of their graduation last March!
So, before that someone gets swamped with more work, and before Ian adds more color highlights to his current Singapore college hairstyle, it’s high time we present the long-overdue photos of our dear friends in the “HEdCen’s High School Graduates of 2008″ album.
