𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗔 𝗚𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗨𝗡 I IMSHS’ QC-Wide Vball run ends in tough finals defeat over TSNHS

The Ismael Mathay Sr. High School Volleyball Team came up just short of securing a spot at the division level after a hard-fought defeat to Tandang Sora National High School in the championship match of the Quezon City-Wide Schools Division Cup District 6 held on October 26.

Despite a fiery start from Mathay, TSNHS found its groove just in time to force a fifth and deciding set.

We are proud of you!

𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗟 | Ismaelians immediately practiced the "duck, cover, and hold" procedure in both the morning and afternoon sessions as an initial response in the event of an earthquake.

The exit points, time of exit, and the evacuation areas were also evaluated during the drill.

To ensure that Ismaelians demonstrate the necessary precautions during emergencies, the school is set to conduct more unannounced drills in the coming weeks.

PRAYER BRIGADE | The Philippines has been shaken this October. With strong earthquakes striking Luzon (La Union), Visayas (Cebu), and Mindanao (Davao) in just ten days, let's unite in prayer for everyone's safety and resilience.

-----
O God, we, Ismaelians, come to you with heavy yet hopeful hearts. The earth has quaked in Baguio-La Union, Cebu, and Davao, and many of our fellow countrymen are in pain, are frightened, and are not sure about what is going to happen next.

Please, Lord, enfold them in your consolation. Grant them the power to reconstruct, the bravery to stand again, and the certainty that they have not been deserted.

We also lift up Metro Manila and the rest of our nation to your care. Please keep our city safe from aftershocks and further harm. Lord, pacify the ground beneath us and guard every household, every kid, every fight who is in Your presence tonight, scared and praying. Show us that Your mercy is always greater than any disaster.

Bestow wise and compassionate hearts upon those who are dealing with the crisis, like our rescuers, leaders, and even the ordinary citizens, moved by kindness. Let their deeds radiate Your light amid the dark and trembling times. Make this an event that will not only instill fear but also bring us together in faith and unity.

O Lord, let peace be restored in the land. Make our hearts stronger, direct our hands, and let our spirits remain unshaken. We place our trust in You, our refuge, our shield, and our everlasting foundation.

Amen.
