Brimming with creativity and compassion, the Peace Poster Making Contest of the Mt. Kanlaon Lions Club turned imagination into a movement for unity on September 12, 2025. Held in collaboration with Lions Club International, the event centered on the theme “Together as One,” inspiring young artists to express their visions of a harmonious world through art.

Behind every achievement stands a teacher whose guidance lights the way. They are mentors, companions, and role models whose impact endures through time.

Warmth and gratitude filled the Po Hang Gymnasium as the Taytungian community gathered as one family on September 29, 2025, to celebrate the 91st Loyalty Week Teachers’ Day. With 10’s Marielle Vidamo and Grade 11’s Mark Miquit serving as hosts, the event became a heartfelt tribute to the mentors who stand as second parents and steadfast pillars of guidance.

As the program unfolded, teachers and students took the stage with performances that entertained and inspired, drawing delighted reactions from the audience. A special video tribute followed, shifting the atmosphere into a reflective pause, where gratitude and appreciation for the mentors being honored were felt deeply across the gymnasium.

The spotlight then turned to the school’s pillars of wisdom—teachers who have dedicated more than a decade of service to the Tay Tung community—who were honored with special recognition and awards.

“Salamat” by Yeng Constantino was then performed by the Student Council Organization (SCO) together with the program’s performers. The song became a unifying hymn of gratitude, echoing through the gym as teachers and students sang along.

As the celebration drew to a close, the smiles, laughter, and even the unspoken silences reflected the depth of gratitude shared across the community. The day was not merely about ceremony or festivity; it was a reminder that behind every achievement are teachers who dedicate their lives to nurturing dreams and shaping futures.

The Kindergarten Department of Bacolod Tay Tung High School (BTTHS) transformed the Kinder Auditorium into a lively hive of colors and creativity on September 22, 2025, through its Pick and Paint Activity.

Turning simple plaster molds into canvases of imagination, the activity allowed young Taytungian learners to explore art to its fullest—playful, hands-on, and full of wonder. More than just painting, it nurtured both skill and self-expression, offering the children a joyful journey where structure met the boundless freedom of creativity.

Teachers began by molding plaster of Paris into simple, kid-friendly shapes like fish, cars, flowers, and animals. Once dried, they become blank canvases. The activity began with a brief video tutorial demonstrating brush techniques, followed by a live teacher demonstration to reinforce step-by-step painting basics.

Taytungians then took center stage, equipped with non-toxic acrylic paints. They colored their plaster creations under the watchful yet encouraging eyes of teachers. Teachers gently guided tiny hands to practice brush control, stay within lines, and blend colors.

Beyond the fun, the activity quietly builds foundational skills. Pick and Paint isn’t just an art project—it’s a first step in discovering that even the smallest hands can craft something beautiful and meaningful.

Families proudly teamed up to face other grade levels in fun and exciting activities. From colorful parades to lively relays, each game not only showcased friendly competition but also highlighted the resilience and love of family ties through struggles and victories.

That morning, these families lived in a rare moment where worries were set aside in favor of laughter, teamwork, and the joy of their children. For one day, the happiness of their children were the only prize that truly mattered.

Students, parents, and teachers alike walked away with wonderful memories. The celebration may have ended, but the joy and lessons of Family Day will remain in the hearts of children for years to come.
