Nutri-Eco Month reminds the kids on two fundamental things in life
Have you thought about having a waning planet earth visibly seen and felt by climate change? How about having flourishing malnutrition state of our children due to the booming business of fastfood chains, junk food decoyed as foods fortified with vitamins, non-nutritious food choices and life style? What will be the face of our next generation?
July is the month which is specifically used to remind our school children and parents the importance of good nutrition and well-taken cared environment. School activities related to the celebration are aiming to increase and heightenth children’s awareness on two fundamental things in life: Their HEALTH and their ENVIRONMENT. Almost everything that we do are linked, connected and interrelated to these.
“Maayos na Kapaligiran Tungo sa Magandang Kalusugan”, the school theme for July’s Nutri-Eco Celebration, conveys a very clear and obvious message. In HCEC, children go through the different academic related activities that enliven their awareness. This is part of the values formation that the school is actively into. Activities like these are not only for the celebration per se, but most importantly in the inculcating of positive values on healthy and environmental friendly practices.
We have the powers to shape the face of the next generation! Let’s take care of our children. Make them healthy physically, mentally and spiritually with a clean and unpolluted environment. Congratulations to the contest winners this July. Special appreciation to the Fusion Club Chief Moderator, Mdm. Cecil Sadang for spearheading the different activities, in coordination with the Flora & Fauna Chief Mentor, Mr. Dominic Bagacina. This is under the supervision of the Office of the Student Affairs, with Mr. Melvin C. Federis as the Coordinator. Cheers are for the TEAM Grade School Teachers for their collaborative efforts and commitment especially in the success of the Sabay-Sabay sa Paggalaw, Mass Demonstration.
Parents likewise are reminded here to have an active commitment in providing their kids the best nutrition they can give. Healthy foods need not be expensive. Environmental issues can be a home-based discussion among siblings and parents.
First Friday Mass on August 7
Part of the school’s institutional practices is the holding the First Friday Mass. This is to inculcate the spiritual values among our pupils. This First Friday Mass will be held on August 7, 2009 at 8:00 am to be sponsored by the Grade 1 class. Parents are invited to attend.
Mr. Jumar Penaflor and his Team to relinquish their post
Three years of highly commendable performance in the service as Executive Board Officers are the great contributions of Mr. Jomar Penaflor and his TEAM to the PTA general membership and to the school. The HCEC community is the living witness of the laudable accomplishments of the Executive Board. The erection of the HCEC Pavilion, which is credited to this Team, conducting several fund-raising drives that yielded additional funds for the association are just the few things they contributed to the school. Mr. Jumar Penaflor, as the EB President, together with the rest of the EB Officers were able to synergize the HCEC parents to have one focus and direction in the accomplishment of the school’s vision-mission. Endless appreciation is given to them as they will relinquish their post to the next set of EB Officers headed by MR. DINDO IBARRETA, as the new EB President.
The turn-over ceremony will be held on August 7, 2009 right after the First Friday mass at 8:00am at HCEC Main Campus. Part of the ceremony is the Special Recognition Rights to be given to the out-going officers by the HCEC Management.
As we bid goodbye and say our thanks to Mr. Penaflor, we are opening our doors, giving our support to Mr. Ibarreta, welcoming him to the partnership that thrives through a loving and caring atmosphere, all for one main reason: the school children of HCEC.
All PTA-Executive Officers (out-going and present) and the Homeroom Presidents are invited to the Turn-over Ceremony. Attendance in the First Friday Mass is not compulsory but it is encouraged.
Oath of Commitment of the Pupil-Leaders to be spoken publicly
After the successful Leadership Training Seminar Workshop attended by our intermediate Pupil-Leaders, they will publicly profess their Oath of Commitment to HCEC. This will be joined by the Primary Pupil-Leaders on August 7, 2009 after the first Friday Mass. In the ceremony, the Action Plans made by the pupils to meet their goals and target KRAs will be presented to HCEC community.
“HCEC LIDER. . . at your service po!”will be their dictum as they carry-out their roles and responsibilites.

On the use of the Cafeteria and PAA
The School Cafeteria and the Pupils Activity Area (PAA) are for the pupils for them to eat during recess and lunch time. These are the places for children, but since the school allows the parents/yayas to stay and assist their children during eating time, the school asks the cooperation of the adults who are using these areas. Please observe the following:
1. If you need to reserve seats, reserve only for your OWN child (children);
2. Chairs and tables are not enough for everyone, so please don’t let your bags occupy the place for children;
3. Please observe proper decorum and dress code, remember that you are seen by the children.
4. Kindly refrain from conversations not suited for younger audience. Gossips and rumors are highly discouraged;

During this time, parents/ yayas may use this as an opportunity to have a tete-a- tete or short talk with their kids on things about school. Consider this time not just an eating time but a bonding moment. Feed their body, let them eat; Feed their hearts, let them talk to you, and you, to listen.
Please help the school maintain an academic atmosphere in the campus where your children catch the adullt’s values and habits. Parents are advised to orient their yayas and house helpers on this matter.

A tough call: Home-School values formation
Children need to have an environment that will nourish and enrich their total human consciousness. The being and becoming of children lies on the hands of the significant adults in their lives. The parents and the teachers are among these important people in child’s life. The environment that we provide them will shape their soul and spirit, that will build their moral fiber and that will complete their total persona. The environment where children thrive is considered to be a product of the physical, psychological as well as social atmosphere created by the interactions between the children and their significant adults and among themselves also.
From this perspective, it is essential that the significant adults must provide and set-up situations and conditions conducive both to learning and discovering. It is then a great challenge both to teachers and parents to provide such environment to their children. A challenge that needs to be faced squarely. The teachers and the parents must have a congruent values and beliefs to achieve consistency that will result to formation.
Behavior is learned through consistent values formation caught in the child’s environment. The home and the school are the two milieus where children live and grow. The home being the first environment that awakens child’s being is and must be the source of positive values formation. It is the home and the family that should initiate the learning of the basic positive values like spirituality, respect, honesty, kindness, etc.
From home, the school reinforces the values being practiced by the child. The school shapes it into a more structured aura. In school, the behavior caused by the values is being honed, enriched and becoming fully alive.
“Music and movement, jingle and song making, speech classes, art works, games and sports, academic contests, out-bound studies, research works done in or out of the classrooms are some of the things you can see and observe in HCEC aside from their regular academic classroom tasks HCECians are busy with the pertinent things related to the development of their left and right brain functions.
School is a distinct place where children’s holistic persona is formed, developed and enhanced. What the school offers and provides are the things the children will acquire. The kind of academic and non-academic programs and the entire things that a child experiences in school comprise the curriculum.
In HCEC, the curriculum is carefully well-planned and designed using a scientific and well-tested approach in curriculum design (Power Standard and Understanding by Design) backed up with the theories, philosophy and principles of Multiple Intelligence Theory, Learning Styles, Brain Based Theory, Progressivism and Essentialism.
Pupils are exposed to multiple educational and academic activities in and out of the classrooms that help the maximum cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills development.
Academic tasks are not the only object of education. School life is not only about books. There are essential things in life that are not learned from books and within the four walls of the classrooms. School life must have a little bit of this, a little bit of that. In other words, it must be a balance of academic works and non-academic works like the extra-curricular activities where pupils can discover and develop their interests and talents.
In HCEC, we offer this kind of balanced school life to our children. The Academic Related Activities (ARA) is the special arena for our HCECians to cultivate and nurture their innate talents, aptitude and intelligences.
Set activities are planned with all the pupils in mind and not the only few. The school believes that all pupils are gifted (Multiple Intelligence Theory by Gardner) and have the capabilities to excel in their own fields and at their own phase.
To meet this goal, an elimination round is given to all pupils as part of their regular academic performance. Each pupil is given a fair chance to show-off their abilities in a particular task. Those who will shine from among all pupils will be chosen to be the class representatives for the said activities that will compete or perform for the inter-school program. [The process of elimination for every activity has been a policy since AY 2006-2007]
Pupil’s participation in a competition or program does not lie on the subjective disposition of the teacher. It is the pupil himself who will give the mandate whether he/she will be included in the set activity. As long as the pupils have the talents, abilities and aptitude, they will bloom in their own appropriate time. From tiny tots to grown up kids, pupils will blossom according to their inherent capabilities. The school provides the avenues and opportunities that will stimulate the brain and challenge the mind and body to perform at its peak.
The Macagang Aquatic Club’s Master Swim Program is inviting the HCECians to enroll in their swimming class every Sunday, 4:00-6:00 pm at Macagang Business Center, Nabua, Camrines Sur. The afternoon swimming class will be exclusive to HCEC pupils if the minimum number of 15 enrollees will be met. Classes will start on August 30, 2009. Class fee is Php1,500.00 for 13 day sessions. If interested, please see our School Registrar for enlistment. Enrollment is at MBC office.

school doesn’t have the sole and lone source of learning, especially the learning that comes from the inner core of a person. It is the home, the family that is essential in forming the heart and soul of a child. Both the home and the school need to respond to this tough call of values formation among our children. The quality of our response shall determine the quality of values and behavior our children will manifest in their lives now and in the future.
Think about this . . .
Watch our thoughts. . .
For it will be our words . . .
That will be our deeds . . .
That will be our habits . . .
That will be our character . .
That will be our values. . .
That will become our destiny.
In one accord, let us teach our children the values that will lead them to their destiny. Let’s return this gift, more than beautiful if not the most as it was created, to our Creator, our almighty.
BUT. . .
Where do our children learn these?
· saying bad words
· hitting
· disrespect
· dishonesty
· loose morals
· laziness
· retaliating
· violence
· etc
No parents, no teachers will teach these, but where did our children get these values?????
Check our environment . . . PLEASE

Literary artists to shine; character to glow
The second leg of the Nutri-Eco Celebration is for the pupils with skills and talents in literary writings. The Primary pupils had the Poem/Slogan Making, while the Intermediate had the essay writing on the theme: Maayos na Kapaligiran tungo sa Magandang Kalusugan. Last week’s activity was for those with Spatial Intelligence or for those with visual art talents. Winners to these contests will be posted and announced next week.
In HCEC, pupils are given the learning environment that will discover, develop and sharpen their potentials. As the pupils undergo the process of learning, it is not only the intellect that is being nourished, the character and values as well are touched and influenced by the activities. Self-discipline, cooperation, commitment to finish one’s tasks, and honesty are just among the few which are being learned and acquired by our pupils. With the school’s activities, the intellect, the will and the character are educated,
