Program was held to recognize and appreciate the efforts of the teachers. Highlights of the program included the awarding of Certificates of Recognition and Gift Giving to teachers. Special messages were also delivered from representatives of different year levels proclaiming their sincerest thanks to their teachers who have guided and touched their lives. A special luncheon was heartily celebrated for the teachers. Later in the afternoon was the time for the first-ever Student Teaching wherein the teachers selected a student to substitute him/her in class just for the day. This was done for the students to fully recognize the hard work of their teachers as they stand in front of the class everyday. Everyone enjoyed the activity as the student-teachers dressed themselves in formal attires. Students paid attention to their substitute teachers in the same way they are attentive to their real teachers. Lastly, for the entire duration of the month-long activity, a Message Booth was facilitated by the SSG Officers where students are welcome to greet their teachers and send them greeting cards full of Thank you, Sorry and Good luck messages.
