Awareness. People should be aware of their surroundings fro them to know what is happening around them.  Our environment is in real chaos these days. In connection to this, we have the Environmental Awareness Month that also happens in the month of November. This celebration is made possible by the virtue of Republic Act No. 9512 which was signed on December 12, 2008. This law states that the promotion of national awareness on the role of natural resources in economic growth and the importance of environmental conservation shall be done through environmental education. With this matter at hand, it is just right for us to engage in the said activity for we were born not just to help fellow humans but also the other living creatures that are with us. We should care for them just as how we care for our families and friends. We are the stewards of God's creations after all. The environment has really changed. Different environmental problems are encountered each and ...

Children.  The month of November is the celebration of National Children's Month by the virtue of Republic Act No. 10661 which was signed on May 29, 2015 by then President Benigno Aquino III. As according to what I've read, this celebration commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of a Child by the United Nations General Assembly on Nov. 20, 1989. From the name, we can already tell that the main focus of this event is on children. Children are affected in a lot of ways. Whether it is physically, emotionally, and/or socially, it affects them real hard. That's why this celebration is here, to protect the children and promote their rights. Little children are fragile, that's why they need protecting  and guidance. Everyone should participate in this activity since we are talking about the condition of kids at stake. Every child has their right and should be known to avoid having abused children. The youth is an important part of s...

"Pamilyang Pilipino Patatagin: Susi sa Paghubog ng Kabataang Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa." Ito ang tema para sa taong 2019. Nakapokus ito sa pinakamaliit na yunit ng lipunan, ang pamilya, na siyang maghuhubog ng isang batang nagtataglay sa apat na Core Values .  Sa panahon ngayon, unti-unti nang nalilimutan ng mga kabataan ang mga pagpapahalagang Pilipino nang dahil sa makabagong teknolohiya at modernong pamumuhay. Kung kaya't iyon ang naging tema ng taon-taong Filipino Values Month Celebration ngayong 2019. Iba't ibang paligsahan ang nakahanda para sa mga estudyante upang maihayag ang kani-kanilang kaisipan at nararamdaman ukol sa tema. Sa loob talaga dapat ng pamilya nagsimulang hubugin ang mga kabataan sa pagiging Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa. Sa pamamagitan ng iba pang kasapi ng lipunan ang paraan kung saan siya'y mas mahuhubog ang sarili habang lumalaki.  Mga magulang ang unang guro, ating gabay simula nan...

Flags of Different Countries Across the Globe Peace makes the world go round. Peace is what each country seeks for. But more than that is given.  Peace is not the only thing that U.N. aims for, a lot more is being offered to millions of people.  Celebrating its 74 years of existence is the United Nations Day. Simultaneously, the school becomes one with the world in celebrating it every month of October with its highlight, the Search for Mr. and Ms. United Nations.  "Indigenous Languages Matter for Sustainable Development, Peace Building, and Reconciliation" is the theme for this year.

Additional information. Another quarter has passed. New lessons were learnt. New challenges were faced. This time around, I have got to know new things that I haven't heard or read before. At first, I was agitated whether or not I would be able to cope up with the new lessons ahead. Many things were gained from the activities that were done including lessons. There were minimal to no problems that I have faced for the topics are quite easy to understand. I just had to figure things out by myself and the problem's solved. First semester has already gone to an end with the exams approaching. Hopefully the lessons learnt will still be remembered by then and I'm expecting more interesting topics to come. The chapter is finished and a new one will come. Source: https://time.com/3936846/powerful-books-list/

Hero without a cape. Sans speed, sans flight, sans teleportation. Hero in their own ways. They may not have supernatural powers, they still have ability to help others in their daily lives. Never ending lessons to be taught. May it be about the course or about one's experience that others can have insights about. Laptop, chalk and eraser, lesson plans. A teacher's best friend. Students go to schools to learn things. Teachers prepare and review their topics to be discussed. They talk all throughout the day, walk to each classroom, check papers, and discipline students. Considered as daily routine. They may look easy going and carefree sometime but the truth is they have a lot of work to be done. They also have their own families to attend to.  “Gurong Pilipino: Handa sa Makabagong Pagbabago,” is the theme for the year. There's nothing much to talk about the theme for it only says that teachers are prepared for change. The highlight of this month lo...

Academics.   Homework.   Activities. First thing that comes to mind when thinking about school is about the work students do in their academics. Having high scores in activities and tests make them happy. But is that the only way they can be happy? A school year is not complete without the yearly held Intramurals. Wherein students join and compete in different fields of sports according to their expertise. Sports and dancing can also make one happy. Relieving themselves from their problems for a period of time just to enjoy doing what they love to do especially if you’re a sporty type of person. “Enhancing Happy School Movement through Sports and Dances.” That is the said theme for the ISNHS Intramurals 2019. As tradition, different sports will be played. Some will be recognized as winners whilst others will still be winners in their own ways. Activities such as these promote the true spirit of sportsmanship as well as camaraderie. The only difference for th...
