The first and only Philippine Robotics Academy School in Malolos

There are moments in a school community when words seem too small to express the gratitude felt in every heart. At Isidore de Seville Integrated School, one such day unfolded in an atmosphere filled with joy, appreciation, and heartfelt celebration as the Isidorean community came together to honor the people who make every learning experience more meaningful.

Led by the Supreme Elementary Learner Government (SELG), together with its adviser, Teacher Christy Rose Umali, the celebration brought together learners from preschool to grade school in a touching tribute to the educators and school personnel who guide, inspire, encourage, and support them each day.
The young learners became the heart of the celebration. Through warm greetings, lively dances, and heartfelt songs, they expressed their appreciation for the teachers who patiently walk with them through every lesson, challenge, discovery, and achievement. Their performances were more than presentations; they were simple yet meaningful expressions of love and gratitude from learners to the people who help shape their young lives.

Serving as the Ladies of Ceremonies for the event were Zamara Louese Lapuz, President of SELG, and Elijah Mari Pascual, Vice President of SELG, who helped lead and facilitate the celebration with grace and enthusiasm.

Adding warmth and significance to the occasion, Mommy Jonah Trinidad, President of the School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA), together with Mommy Heidie Qutuea, represented the school’s parent-partners and shared a sincere message of appreciation for the teaching community.

One message, in particular, resonated deeply throughout the celebration:
“We see you. We appreciate you.”

These simple but powerful words captured the spirit of the occasion. Behind every classroom lesson are teachers who prepare, teach, listen, encourage, and give their best even when no one is watching. Behind every successful school day are administrative personnel who work quietly and faithfully to ensure that the school community continues to move forward.

The message of appreciation was warmly received by Teacher Ann Bartolome, School Administrator; Teacher Archie Gaspar, School Principal; and the entire Isidore teaching community, who shared in the joy of a celebration dedicated to their service and commitment.

Yet, beyond the dances, songs, greetings, and messages, Teachers’ Day served as a deeper reminder of the countless acts of dedication that happen every day.

It is found in every lesson carefully prepared, every encouraging word spoken to every learner, every extra mile taken to help a child succeed, and every quiet sacrifice made in the name of education.

Teaching is more than a profession. It is a calling to nurture young minds, build confidence, inspire dreams, and help learners discover the people they are capable of becoming. In the same way, every member of the school’s administrative team plays an important role in creating an environment where learners and educators become the best versions of themselves everyday.

For the Isidorean community, Teachers’ Day was therefore not simply a celebration, but it was a collective expression of gratitude.

Happy Teachers’ Day!

Laughter, creativity, friendly competition, and shared experiences filled the school as Isidoreans from Preschool to Grade 6 gathered on September 16 and 17 for the Term 1 End-of-Term (EOT) Activities.

The two-day celebration brought together three meaningful themes: Nutrilit, a combination of Buwan ng Wika and Nutrition Week; MathSciTech, combining Mathematics, Science, and ICT Week; and Courage and Calmness in Times of Danger, integrating Values and Community Helpers Week.

The celebration opened at the 2nd Floor Function Hall, with Zamara Louese Lapuz, SELG President, leading the invocation and Elijah Marie Pascual, SELG Vice President, leading the National Anthem. Ms. Marjorie P. Fajardo, Head Teacher, delivered the introductory remarks, while Dr. Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, reminded the learners that education is not only about being academically and cognitively smart, but also about developing qualities that help them become well-rounded individuals. Teacher Merlyn Marie Villanueva, Learner Activity Coordinator, then presented the activities prepared for the celebration.

The learners eagerly participated in various games and activities held in their respective classrooms, where they enjoyed learning, playing, creating, and bonding with their classmates. Each classroom became a lively space for fun and discovery as teachers prepared age-appropriate activities that allowed learners to showcase their creativity, knowledge, teamwork, and talents.

Among the highlights was the offering of flowers to Mama Mary and the praying of the Holy Rosary led by Teacher Princess Bernardo. Learners also enjoyed traditional Kakaning Pinoy, such as suman, bibingka, and kutsinta, reveling in Filipino culture while appreciating the importance of nutrition.

The learners also had the chance to listen to stories with moral lessons presented by "Lola Basyang".

The Intermediate learners showcased their confidence and talent in the Balagtasan Contest, where Grade 6-Babbage was hailed as the champion. Teacher Archie commended the learners for the talents they showcased during the competition, even reciting an impromptu Balagtasan piece.

On the second day, learners explored their creativity through coin bank-making and enjoyed educational games using the Interactive Board at the Robotics Laboratory. Together with the various classroom activities, these experiences brought Mathematics, Science, ICT, values, culture, and practical life lessons to life in engaging ways.

More than an end-of-term activity, the EOT celebration gave Isidoreans a chance to pause from their academic routines, enjoy time with their schoolmates, discover their talents, and create happy memories. As they headed into their wellness break, the learners carried with them the joy of learning and friendship.

Every day at Isidore de Seville Integrated School, one sound has become familiar in Teacher Archie’s office: a knock on the door.

Sometimes, it is a teacher seeking guidance, a staff member bringing forward a concern, or a learner looking for encouragement. At other times, it is simply someone who needs a listening ear, a safe space to share, and someone who will take the time to understand.

Yet on June 14, 2026, Dr. Arcelita J. Gaspar was the one who stepped toward a different door.
She entered the examination room at New Era University School of Management in Quezon City to take the Career Executive Service Written Examination (CESWE), charting a bold new chapter in her professional growth. And with dedication and perseverance, she successfully passed the written examination. This is a significant first stage in the Career Executive Service eligibility process.

Preparing for such an examination while carrying many responsibilities requires commitment, discipline, and perseverance. Above all, it requires faith in God, the greatest source of strength and guidance our principal possesses.

That is why her achievement resonates beyond the examination itself. The results of the examination is also a moment of pride for the entire Isidore community.

From the countless knocks on her office door to the quiet hours of preparation for the CESWE, Teacher Archie continues to open doors for others while having the courage to walk through new ones herself.
