Paraclete...

Done with the meeting with parents and staff this afternoon.

T’was a fruitful meeting, strengthened to keep going despite the rough sailing.

Inspired by the parents' positive response and enthusiasm, thankful of them who really maintained to trust us, salute to the teachers for not hesitating to take chances…

Naalala ko ang sinabing closing remarks on our meeting this June 11, 2014 at Neppesa:

      “…most of us experienced decrease in enrollment this year, but what          is important is that our values are still intact as administrators. We            hope that in all of your enrollees, you did not pirate a single one from        other school…”  

                      (dadalawa lang yata kaming pumalakpak)

It has never been a practice of Selimian Paraclete School, Inc. to campaign, even to make follow-ups during vacation. We leave to the parents all the will and full liberty to decide without any persuasive influence from us. Salamat sa lahat ng mga magulang na nagtitiwala sa amin, kakaunti man kayo taas noo naman tayo that you decided on your own will. You choose to trust us, we are more than happy to do all our best for your children. We commit ourselves to be of service.

Yung meeting kanina parang may kamay na nangasiwa. Dahil kakaunti ang parents nagkahirapan sa pag oorganize ng officers, nung una apo-appointment and second the motion, then may nahihiya, may tumatanggi. Tapos may nagsuggest bunutan na lang daw, so nagbunutan nga ng posisyon, at sakto para sa lahat ang nabunot ng bawat isa na magiging posisyon, and they are all happy sa nabunot nilang assignment nila, bakit hindi ko sasabihin na parang may kamay na nangasiwa? 

Kaninang umaga ito ang text message na nareceived ko from Sis. Julie Padolina…

Many thanks Sis. Julie, tama ang message mo...

                  “The living Jesus is like a computer.

                      He enters our lives, Scans our problems,

                            Edits our tension,

                               Downloads solutions,

                                Deletes our worries and

                                  Saves us.”

Paraclete…Paraclete means Lifter, advocate of change, for the better…and no one can put a Paraclete down.

Selimian is a lifter school, lifter of character and wisdom…
