The entire educative community of Colegio de las Hijas de Jesus, Inc. is jubilant as it celebrates Family Day on Sunday, February 22, 2026. This occasion paved the way for the celebration of its near a century milestone; the grand 90th Founding Anniversary on June 7, 2026.
With the theme "90 Years of Filiation, Fraternity, and Service with St. Candida,โ the school campus was transformed into a wave of denim as students, parents, faculty and staff, and alumni engaged in various meaningful and colourful activities. These are the marks of decades of its educational and spiritual legacies.
The event commenced with โBreakfast sa Hijas,โ in which a community breakfast was held at the quadrangle that allowed early arrivals to gather and share a meal before the morning program. At 8:30 a.m., the Eucharistic Celebration was held at the CHJ gymnasium. During the mass, the value of family and camaraderie were emphasized.
An opening program followed thereafter, which featured the welcome messages by Mrs. Arnalyn G. Piccio, the PTA President, and Mrs. Edna G. Giner, the school principal. Also included are the video presentations showcasing various family pictures and greetings from the students.
The highlight of the program was the special number of St. Joseph- Hijas de Jesus Drum and Lyre from St. Joseph School, one of CHJโs sister schools located in Jordan, Guimaras. Their performance had drawn attention from the audience. The program ended with the Zumbayanan, a community dance by the students and faculty and staff. This showcased their talent and appreciation for the gift of families they have.
The focus shifted to lunch time when families shared meals within the campus while playing rounds of Bingo game up to their heart's delight.
After lunch, the gymnasium opened for the different student performances. A welcome message was delivered by Sister Nilda G. Genovate, F.I. the school RCA. The most anticipated production with the theme, "Showtime in Denim- Movie Soundtrack Magic" kicked off with Mamma Mia soundtrack as the first number performed by some selected students. Every move, every groove, and every smile that the students do while performing made their parents and guardians proud and joyful.
