Basketball is more than just a sport; it’s a testament to teamwork, perseverance, and determination. The basketball players of Thoburn Memorial Academy epitomize these values. Despite their recent defeat, their journey and achievements deserve recognition and celebration. Let us delve into the remarkable attributes of these athletes and offer words of encouragement as they continue to strive for excellence.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
Each player brings unique talents to the team, but it is their commitment to rigorous training that sets them apart. They consistently push their limits, whether through early morning drills or late-night practice sessions, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to improvement.

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀
Basketball is a team sport, and the players of Thoburn Memorial Academy understand the importance of unity and collaboration. Their ability to work seamlessly as a unit on the court is a testament to their mutual respect and understanding.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁
The camaraderie among the players extends beyond the game. This bond fosters a positive team environment and creates a support system that encourages each player to give their best, both individually and collectively.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁
While the recent defeat might be disappointing, it offers valuable lessons. Every setback is an opportunity for growth and reflection, and these young athletes are poised to emerge stronger.

Critiques and feedback are an integral part of any journey. By embracing them, players learn resilience and adaptability. These qualities will not only serve them in future games but also in life, teaching them to face adversity with courage and determination.

To our players, remember that every great athlete has faced defeats. What sets them apart is their ability to learn from these experiences and come back stronger. Your journey is just beginning, and your potential is limitless. Just always remember these two important things: PRAY then PLAY.

𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟑𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓— Thoburnians, on Friday, celebrated their nutrition month showcasing their artistry and intellect.

On Thursday and Friday, students from different grade levels contested on different events from arts to testing their knowledge on all things about nutrition.

With the topic, "𝗦𝗮 𝗣𝗣𝗔𝗡: 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮-𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁", students from different classes joined together for the 2-hour slogan and poster making.

Moreover, a group of 3 from various class advisories faced-off at the school quadrangle quizzing their knowledge on nutrition facts and such.

With this year's nutrition month theme, "𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆! 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻! 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻!", scribes from junior and senior high joined together at the library for the essay writing competition which focused on food and nutrition security.

Furthermore, newly elected Sangguniang Bayan Hon. German "Ymman" Valdez, M.D., the messenger during the Induction Cum Nutrition Month celebration, emphasized the correlation of nutrition and leadership as 'wasto at sapat'.

"Parang pagkaing wasto at sapat lang ang lingkod bayan— wasto sa pagkain , masustansiya, balanse, at hindi lang basta nakabubusog. Sa serbsisyo naman, wasto lang dapat ang ginagawa ng opisyal, Tamang proyekto, tamang pondo, at higit sa lahat tama ang serbsisyo— hindi porket nagpagawa ng proyekto ay serbisyong totoo na."

At the end of the competitions, winners and placers were announced and are the following:

"𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐒" 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄, 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄!

Nutrition, an interesting subject that involves ones growth, well-being and the condition the body is in. Not only does it require food items but also physical exercises as well, it shows or emphasizes how healthy an individual is as he lives on to the extent of his life. But a question I was asked today, “As a Filipino student, how can one advocate for sufficient and nutritious food for all?”

Considering I was asked how can I fight for sufficient and nutritious food for all, I’d say my methods are quite simple. Of course a logical choice would be joining a schools association or a governing body that involves such an idea. By joining an organization, I might have the power to suggest ideas of events like feeding programs for everyone, rich or poor… I don’t really care. I’d also want to consider creating my own organization but that’d be way too hard for a student like me.

I noticed that I only nagged about it school school wise, so lets head to the general factor, An option I will do would be to try being an inspiration to others which I know so quite hard but atleast I’ll try. But to be honest, the best solution for me would probably involve the government since they usually have the power to do so.

Issues like poverty are mostly the main problem here now that I think about it. Another option of mine would be to start a business, though I can’t give food for free since I might go bankrupt but rather to ensure it is affordable by all classes of people. But since I’m still a student, I’ll probably scratch that idea. I’d like to give more of my ways to ensure everyone gets an equal nutrition no matter what class but that’d be all for now.

Sa modernong panahon ngayon, kung saan ay umusbong ang agham at teknolohiya, dapat pa rin nating pahalagahan ang ating kalusugan. Wasto at tamang pagkain ay dapat nating pagtuuan ng pansin sapagkat ito ang magiging susi upang magkaroon ng mahabang buhay. Sa tama at sapat na pagkain, ang ating kalusugan ay uunlad. Nutrisyong abot-kamay, makakamit ang malusog na pamumuhay.
Ang nutrisyon ay hindi lamang tungkol sa pagkain ng tama at masustansyang pagkain. May koneksyon din ito sa pag-uunlad ng ating bansa. Tulad ng lamang ngayon, marami nang kabataan ang napunta sa maling landas. Sa bisyo at maling gawain, tamang nutrisyon ang panlaban. Sapat na kaalaman tungkol dito ay dapat ibahagi. Dahil sa tama at wastong kaalaman, ating bansa ay giginhawa.
Buhay ay dapat nating pahalagahan. Dahil marami tayong ambisyon at pangarap sa buhay. Tamang landas ay ating tahakin, upang ang buhay ay hindi mapunta sa pagkabigo. Isabuhay ang masustansya at malusog na pamumuhay para sa mahabang buhay. Iwasan ang maling gawain gaya ng pagkain ng hindi masustansyang pagkain at masamang bisyo. Kalusugan ay ating pahalagahan, sapat at wastong pagkain ay lasapin. Sa tamang paraan ng pamumuhay, buhay ay magiging matiwasay.
Lagi nating tandaan, na ang buhay natin ay mahalaga. Kaya nararapat lamang na atin itong alagaan. Ibahagi natin ang kaalaman sa sapat at masustansyang pagkain para sa lahat. Laging tandan ang kasabihang, “Kayamanan mo ang iyong kalusugan.” Sa nutrisyong abot-kamay, makakamit natin ang nagniningning na tagumpay.
