𝐕𝐒𝐔 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐃𝐚𝐲

VSU Laboratory High School (VSULHS) celebrates World Teachers' day for their passionate educators through engaging activities yesterday, October 24, 2025. Organized by the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG), this event took place at the VSU Lower Campus Oval.

The program began with the entrance of teachers and student-teachers, who were greeted with Happy leis as they walked a runway adorned with bubbles.

An energizer, led by a selected group of students, preceded in familiar fashion for the special segment named "That Teacher Looks Familiar." In this portion, each student performer was tasked with impersonating a VSULHS teacher and dancing in unity wearing attires that best suited their role. The segment proved highly engaging, with the teachers joining the students in the dance.

Following the impersonations, the teachers and student-teachers participated in games prepared by the SSLG officers. In between the games, intermissions from the students that showcased a variety of talents: 7th Graders delivered apoetry performance, 8th Graders presented their groove dance, 9th Graders with a serenade, and 10th Graders with a brief comedy show.

Once the performances finished, awards were distributed. Special awards and tokens were awarded to all the hardworking and dedicated teachers of VSULHS.

As the program was wrapping up, gift-giving was the most-anticipated segment. This segment was the highlight of the event as the students gave their letters and gifts to their teachers— advisers, subject teachers, and student-teachers.

A dedication to the teachers through a song by Kenny Rogers was the closing segment. His song "You Decorated My Life" was sung by the students in chorus.

From the the bubble-filled entrance until the final tribute, the celebration was a success. The event essenced Albert Einstein's belief that "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge," serving as a powerful symbol of the students' unity and gratitude towards their teachers.

𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝟑:

Happy Teachers’ Day to all the teachers who make learning feel like magic!
Earlier, VSULHS students shared chocolates, cakes, letters, and gifts—but nothing compares to the hard work and sacrifices our teachers have given for us to grow and succeed.

Their smiles as they heard our laughter said it all. Whether student teachers or permanents, they all deserve appreciation—because anyone can teach, but not everyone can inspire.

Thank you for shaping our minds and hearts—you’re our second parents and everyday heroes.

𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

The day before the exam always feels different. It begins with open notebooks, tired eyes, and determined hearts. Some are studying, others are taking a pause. However, all of us share the same goal—to make tomorrow count.

To all VListas, do not forget how far you’ve come. Every quiz, project, and late-night reviews were a step toward to tomorrow. You have faced challenges before, and you will face this one with the same strength. It’s okay to feel nervous because it only means you care. Say a little prayer, calm your thoughts, and trust your preparation. Take a deep breath and know that you are capable of more than you think.

So tonight, stand tall and believe in your effort. You have already done your best, and that is enough. Tomorrow is another step towards your dreams. Whisper a prayer, walk in with courage, faith, and a smile.

Good luck, VListas! You’ve got this.
