In a heartfelt celebration of milestones and new beginnings, the Kinder 2 and Grade 10 Moving-Up Ceremony brought together students, educators, and honored guests in a meaningful event that recognized both youthful promise and academic perseverance. The ceremony stood as a testament to the dedication, resilience, and growth of the completers as they prepare to take their next steps in their educational journey.
The occasion was graced by distinguished representatives from the Division of Canlaon, Dr. Pretiza P. Mendrez, SDGO Education Program Supervisor, and Dr. Renato B. Lauza, Education Program Supervisor, LRMS. Their presence underscored the importance of the event and reflected the division’s continued support for academic excellence and holistic student development.
A highlight of the ceremony was the inspirational message delivered by guest speaker Ms. Sheinedy S. Guzon, LCB. In her speech, she shared her personal journey toward becoming a successful student, leader, and individual. Her story resonated deeply with the audience, especially the completers, as she emphasized perseverance, self-belief, and the value of embracing challenges as stepping stones to success. Her words served as both encouragement and a reminder that every achievement begins with determination and purpose.
Adding a personal touch to the program, Mr. Paler, the highest honor recipient of the class, delivered a moving message of gratitude. He reflected on the collective experiences of his batch, highlighting the sleepless nights spent completing assignments, the trials that tested friendships, and the discovery of purpose along the way. His speech captured the essence of the students’ journey, reminding everyone that success is not only measured by academic recognition but also by growth, resilience, and meaningful connections.
The ceremony concluded with a powerful message from the School President, Rev. Fr. Richard B. Dumalag. In his closing remarks, he gave profound meaning to the word “Y.E.S.” a guiding principle that symbolized the hard work and determination of the completers. Through his message, he encouraged the students to continue saying “yes” to challenges, opportunities, and growth as they move forward in life.
