The Golden Values School (GVS)

celebrated its 35th Founding anni-

versary last February 1, 2014 with

the theme: “Dream Big. Fly High,

GVS at 35!” at Amphi Theater,

Barrio Kapitolyo, Pasig City.

The commemoration started

with the thanksgiving mass, followed

by a parade around the covered court

grounds. The program was spear-

headed by the founders, Mr. Bob and

Emmy Garon as well as Mrs.

Vanessa Garon Vandevoort, direc-

tress of GVS. Mr. Garon expresses

his sincere gratitude to the loyal par-

ents of GVS, “I want to thank the

parents. Without you, there is no

GVS.”

The highlight of the event was

the recognition and awarding of the

Inter-Quiz Bee winners which was

conducted last January 31, 2014 at

Multipurpose Hall, Brgy. Kapitolyo,

Moreover, the GVSians in all

branches of GVS such as Makati,

Pasig, Novaliches and Parañaque

showcased their colourful props and

lively dance performances. The joy

of both the founders, were evident in

their faces. The teachers were also

not exempted. They danced to the

groove of presentation.

Meanwhile, after a simple

salo salo, the family games and

sports fest was carried out. The vari-

ous games are such as shoot that

ball, balloon relay, 25 meter dash,

sack race, pabitin, palayok, and tug

of war . While the sports fest in-

cluded chess, badminton, volleyball,

and basketball.

Congratulations to our win-

ners!

GVS holds Battle of

the Brains By: Syne R. Mirasol

GVS holds an Inter-GVS Quiz Bee

competition spearheaded by Mrs.

Vanessa Garon Vandevoort, GVS

Directress. Every year, to give our

students an inter school experience,

all schools came together to battle it

out . To make the said activity objec-

tive and transparent, the event organ-

izers invited parents to act as the

judges namely Mrs. Gisella De Villa,

Mrs. Dolores Masangue and Mrs.

Jocelyn Villones. The questions for

the inter-quiz bee were composed of

five (5) areas: Science, Math, Civics,

General information and Current

Events with the newly added area,

GVS information.

It was a successful event and each

GVsian student showed true sports-

What it means to be a

night before, then will consciously

lead her students to start sketch-

ing a picture of themselves of

what they want to be in the near

future. At the same time, seeing

things that they can possibly do.

Like some other passionate

teachers out there, a GVS teacher

lets a child know that they can do

beyond their capability. Thus, al-

ways

letting the child feel that he’s val-

ued and loved. That he has to be-

lieve in himself. Though the proc-

ess is painfully slow at times, a

GVSian teacher patiently under-

stands that each child is a work

in progress. That she must focus

on strengths as well as on the

child needs to improve on.

She also chooses to be a

friend during snacks time and

chat with her students during

vacant time. She offers herself to

be a playmate during playtime.

She would rather be a sister who

will watch over

her kids in every

move inside and

outside the class-

room… And

most of all , she

assumes the role

of a parent who

pampers and

dresses her chil-

dren ending

class.

More so, a GVSian

teacher humbly models and

teaches good character and re-

spect for one another and values

is always her… (Continue to page

Being a GVS teacher, first

and foremost, requires creativity,

dedication and passion before she

starts everything. It can be largely

demanding in the part of a fresh

college graduate coming from a

certain province. However, a

kind of person who possesses

the will to make everything hap-

pen and achieve her goal- to

make a difference in her chil-

dren.

A GVS teacher first

creatively creates a classroom

where the child can feel safe and

at home in school. Where he or

she will not hesitate nor feel

afraid to always try…and where

kindness is always the rule of thumb.

She makes every child dis-

cover the joy that comes in each

learning activity she prepares the

GVSians appreciate the

wonders of science

By: Maryjune Jardeleza

The GVSians’ most awaited trip took place last

February 19, 2014. They visited the Avilon Zoo at

Montalban, Rizal and the NIDO Science Discovery

Center at Mall of Asia.

Over 3, 000 animals and 600 species were

seen by GVSians at the Avilon Zoo. Moreover,

around four hundred (400) exhibits through nine

(9) walk in galleries including the advanced

planetarium, featured in the NIDO Science Dis-

covery Center was explored by. Please see at-

tached photos on page 4.

Taekwondo when I was 4

years old. It has always been my

weekend activity. I tried a lot of

sports and are still into it, but I

just kept on going back to Taek-

wondo.

When people ask me why I

am into Taekwondo, my answer

would always be…"Taekwondo

helps me be humble, disciplined,

focused, confident and responsible.

During a tournament, when I

win I am aware it is because I

worked hard for it. While losing

gives me a chance to do better next

time. I learned to take defeat with-

out shame or regret. It made me

realize that I am not the best be-

cause others may be better.

In Taekwondo, training is

important, that is

why I make it a

point to train

every week and to

practice very

well . Being fo-

cused is very important to do the

right moves at the right time.

Since Taekwondo is also

about self-defense , the sport

helped me be confident and re-

sponsible. I do not use my skill to

be boastful but rather I use it to

influence others in learning how to

defend themselves in case it is

needed.

Performing in front of many

people during a tournament is

great experience. Being promoted

to a higher belt is always a

memorable event and I am look-

ing forward and working hard to

wearing the black belt in time.

I am very grateful for the

skill that God has given to me and

I will try best to influence others

in a positive way.

top priority. A GVSian teacher will hear words like “I can’t.”, in response she’ll say “YOU CAN!” or “I don’t

know how?” she’ll reply “Come here, I’LL TEACH YOU HOW…” A GVS teacher will try everything and do

whatever it takes- to encourage, motivate, engage, challenge, inspire and instill love for learning… In the heart

of every GVS teacher is to enable the child to become much more than he, what he thinks he is capable of.

This is GVS teacher at heart.
