Isidore de Seville Integrated School celebrated the Community Helpers Week Culminating Day on February 7, 2025, with engaging activities designed to help learners appreciate the hard work and dedication of community helpers.

The program commenced with Sir Adrian Fuertes, the Student Activity Coordinator, delivering the opening remarks, emphasizing the importance of honoring and understanding the significance of community helpers. Following this, Teacher Archie shared an inspirational message, encouraging students to respect and appreciate the everyday heroes in their lives. Adding a touch of musical delight, the Glee Club members captivated the audience with their heartwarming performance.

To further inspire the learners, community helpers were invited as resource speakers to share their experiences. The guest speakers included Ms. Epamela Sarsaba, a policewoman, who spoke about the dedication and bravery required in maintaining peace and order; Mr. Rogelio I. Gonzales Jr., a government dentist, who emphasized the importance of oral health and how it contributes to overall well-being; and Mr. Ephraim Trinidad Jr., a financial consultant, who highlighted the value of financial literacy and responsible money management. Their messages left a lasting impact on Isidoreans and teachers.

Meanwhile, a heartwarming moment of the event was when the SPTA, represented by Ms. Charity Olaña, surprised the school’s maintenance staff with a special gift, recognizing their hard work and dedication to the learners. They also thanked the teachers for their passion to guide the children.

One of the most exciting activities of the day was the Community Booth Exploration, where Grades 4-6 creatively transformed their classrooms into different community stations, showcasing various professions. Grade 4-Packard turned their classroom into an airport, Grade 4-Hopper designed a hospital, Grade 5-Atanasoff created a police station, Grade 5-Minsky set up a bakery, Grade 6-Babbage arranged a restaurant and Grade 6-Pascal established a fire station.

The primary learners had the exciting task of voting for the Best Community Station. In the end, Grade 5-Atanasoff’s police station won third place, Grade 6-Babbage’s Restaurant earned second place, and Grade 4-Packard’s Airport claimed first place.

The Community Helpers Week Culminating Day truly embodied the spirit of gratitude and recognition. As the program concluded, learners left with a newfound admiration for community helpers.
