DVES MEDICAL MISSION
March 24, 2011, the SFS medical mission team- composed of Fr Edgar A. Alutaya OFM, Ms Mel Serafico, Ms Angie Rivera, Sir
Chito Alagao, Senior Scout Officers Jeremy Aniscol, Kaye Musngi, Patricia Gonzalez, together with school chef Dexter &
school guard Winnie- trekked the 13-hours drive to San Antonio de Padua Parish in San Antonio, Donsol, Sorsogon and
were warmly welcomed by Parish Priest Fr Eric Ollague OFM, leaving SFS at 315am and arriving Donsol same day at past
5pm. The following day, the entire De Vera Elementary School, under Principal Ms Milany M. Averilla, greeted the medical
mission team with their big smiles. The SFS team was ably and profesionally assisted by Dr. Owen de Guzman, Dr. Lhedie
Garrovillas, and Nurse Girlie Salvatierra. SFS would like to express their utmost thanksgiving to all who helped in making
this mission a success- the SFS parents, students/pupils, alumni, friends, and benefactors.

GRADE SCHOOL'S TURNOVER
Last 25 March 2010, the Grade 5 and Grade 6 pupils had the rare privilege of celebrating their TURNOVER CEREMONY
marking the official transfer of the different key of responsibilities at the Brother Sun-Sister Moon Auditorium. Another
highlight of the occasion was when a cotillon dance number was performed, plus the pupil's chance to socially interact
with their teachers in the dance floor.

HS Scout's Community Immersion
To culminate the HS Department's Scouting program, the undergraduate Senior Scouts, chaperoned by their respective
Advisers, together with SFS Scout Coordinator Ms Geleen Del Rosario and SFS Scout Master Sir Jeffrey Alitagtag,
rendered community service to 9 barangays around SFS last 19 March 2011. The said immersion made the SFS Scouts
appreciative to what the barangays are doing for the benefit of their respective community, and at the same time came up
with their own Barangay Profile which they will submit as their final requirement.
Rover Scout's Vigil
The 4th year Senior Scouts were promoted to be Rover Scouts in an overnight vigil held at the school last 12 March, led by
SFS Scout Master & BSP Area 6 Field Executive Officer Sir Jeffrey A. Alitagtag, assisted by some Rover Scouts from St
Joseph School in Pandacan, Manila. After various inputs on the other aspects of Scouting, the symbolical donning of the
Rover Scout neckerchief were done, followed by an individualized activity on introspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12March2011
THE SHOW
Inspired by the call and challenge to help the school's medical mission for De Vera Elementary School in San Antonio,
Donsol, Sorsogon, the latent local talents of the community- from the students, the teaching and non-teaching personnel-
came up with a musical soiree, "The Show", last 12 March 2011 at the Brother Sun-Sister Moon Auditorium. Amid the
appreciative shrieks of the audience, even our very own School Director, Fr Edgar OFM, showed his artistic side when he
rendered songs from his heart, the variety program was a complete success: earning additional P50,500 for the said
school's outreach program. From the School Administration- a bunch of THANK YOUs for all the sponsors, patrons,
supporters, and participants!

JS PROM
Dashing and elegant in their gowns and coat and tie, the Juniors and Seniors had their JS Prom last 27 February 2011 at
the South Ballroom of the Diamond Hotel in Roxas Blvd, Manila: commencing with a royal entrance, the memorable
gathering was highlighted with the turnover of responsibilities, exchange of mementos, the cotillon d' honoeur, and the
selection of this year's King & Queen of the Prom and Prince & Princess of the Prom, and the student's skipping the light
fandango with slow music and heart-beating tunes of the times.

Greccio Mass - 80s Rewind
Following the centuries-old tradition initiated by St Francis of Assisi, SFS began their Christmas party last 18 December
2010 with a Greccio Mass where the Poor Man of Assisi built a Christmas crib in a cave in Greccio to re-enact the Love-
laden Incarnation. Set in the rooftop of St Claire building, the Holy Mass presided by School Director Fr. Edgardo A.
Alutaya, OFM also called on different teaching and non-teaching personnel to share their thoughts about the essence of
Christmas; Brother Tem S. Gulay, OFM, School Finance Officer, was assigned to deliver the Christmas Message where he
focused on the significance and importance of one-on-one relationship and authentic acceptance of one's self as the
human basis to understand the meaning of the event God-becoming-man; after the Mass, the SFS personnel paid homage
to the Child Jesus by kissing and showing respect to His image held by Bro Tem OFM. And after the Sacramental
Gathering around the Holy Table, the annual Christmas party took off with the theme "The Eighties Rewind" where all were
garbed in the colorful fashion of the 80s and all the parlor games played around the said vibrant era. For the other pictures, please

as chaperons, the entire weekend scouting fun were also made possible under the leadership of Sir Jeffrey Alitagtag, BSP
Manila Council's Field Executive with his ever-reliable co-scout officers from the Manila Council; and what also made this
year's camping different was even the good friars, Fr Edgardo A. Alutaya OFM, & Fr Jun C. Mendones OFM, were game
enough to accompany the campers and celebrated the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist with them. Press HERE for some

BES TAYO NG DVES

Part 1
On the wee morning of 29 October 2010, a team of SFS personnel led by School Director Fr. Edgardo A. Alutaya, OFM, took
the long 10-hours drive to Donsol, Sorsogon to share the first batch of school materials the school had collected from
generous students-pupils, parents, alumni and friends of SFS. Met by St Anthony of Padua Parish Priest Fr Eric Ollague,
OFM, in San Antonio, Donsol, Sorsogon late in the afternoon, the team had a much-needed rest at the very simple friary.
The following day, 30 October, after a breakfast of rice-tinapa-fried egg-fruits, the team then proceeded to De Vera
Elementary School, a good 2-kilometers trek by foot from the main road because of the almost unaccesible dirt road. But
the team's hardship in making that long walk was paid off when they were eagerly met by the pupils, parents, teachers,
barangay officials of DVES. Ms Mel M. Serafico, the school Registrar, explained to the parents SFS' commitment to be
DVES' sister school and urged them to do their contribution especially in the feeding program; this was then followed by a
short and simple but airy program where the DVES pupils expressed their thanksgiving by means of their prepared
musical dance numbers. Then the much-awaited queue followed where all the 198 pupils of DVES, from all grade levels,
received their share of gifts. Capping the morning was when Ms Serafico handed to the teachers the initial amount to
begin the feeding program.
And for all those who magnanimously shared for DVES- we have just started helping out because this program will run
until March of 2011. "...for it is in giving that we receive..." For the other pictures kindly press HERE.

Let's Help
DE VERA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Fr. Eric Ollague, OFM, Parish Priest of St Anthony of Padua Parish in San Antonio, Donsol, Sorsogon expressed the
particular need of De Vera Elementary School in his parish, right in the heart of the boondocks of Bicol- the pupils are in
need of school materials like notebooks, paper, pencils, crayola, bags, slippers, toobrush/toothpaste, soap, etc- which
moved Saint Francis School to adopt said school. SFS will highly appreciate donations for the DVES kids, in cash or in
kind; the HS Department's SGO (Student Government Organization) will set up a skeleton Christmas Tree in the school's
main lobby where donations will be collected. Fr Edgardo Alutaya, OFM, SFS Director, revealed that a team will bring
collected school materials at the end of October and November, and hoping that they will again proceed to Donsol on
December 18 bringing with them Noche Buena for the kids of DVES.

SFS' 51st FOUNDATION:
A Year of Thanksgiving
The 51st Founding Celebration of Saint Francis School of Sta Ana, Manila, with the theme of "Años de Eucaristia- A Year of
Thanksgiving" witnessed a compendium of colorful and meaning-full activities reflective of their leit motif: the 3rd Inter-
Club Dance Competition won by MAPEH Club, a quiz bee which tested the student's and pupil's knowledge of their
school-patron saint but done with a twist that tested their physical prowess, the day-long fun-filled Family Day, solemn
procession around the environs of Sta Ana, blessing of pets, solemn celebration of the Holy Eucharist presided by Father
Provincial Baltazar Obico OFM, blessing of the school's newly-renovated facade, a simple but sumptous agape, the annual
Scout's Fancy Drill Competition won by 4St Anthony of Padua, a cultural show participated in by the entire academic
community, and the commitment to adopt the De Vera Elementary School in Donsol, Sorsogon. MARAMING SALAMAT PO,
PANGINOON, SA LAHAT NG INYONG MGA BIYAYA... Please press HERE for the other pictures.

QUIZ BEE ALA SURVIVOR GAME
The second day of the school's celebrating her 51st Foundation saw the students and pupils grouped according to their
interest club/organization and clashed in a quiz bee competition but done with a twist: before each contestant could
answer a question, they must first do a specific consequence or act like rolling, running in a sack, etc. This was a fun-filled
but very informative activity because it tested the student's and pupil's knowledge about the life of St Francis of Assisi,
history of the school and her personnel, and some academic subjects. Fiercely led by their moderator, Sir Tem Nicolas, the
Araling Panlipunan Club lorded it over the rest of the other clubs.
