Provincial Governor of Bukidnon, the Honourable Alex Calingasan, Visits Bethany

Bethany was honoured today with the presence of the Governor Alex Calingasan at the school graduation of Preparatory, Grade 6 and 4th Year High School Class of 2011.

The graduates along with their parents and staff  were thrilled to be in the presence of the Governor who addressed the assembly and took time out of his busy schedule to speak individually with the students and parents and posed for photographs with them which, I’m sure, will be something they will treasure for the future.

The Chairperson of the Bethany Board of Trustees, Atty Chemene Nacua, also congratulated the graduates and reminded all parents of both present and future students that it is not an easy task to send their children to school in these difficult financial times, but to do otherwise could mean a bleak future for them.

Once again big congratulations to all graduates as they have made their parents and staff of Bethany very proud of them.

Thanksgiving Celebration at Bethany

Today Bethany Christian School celebrated Thanksgiving with a musical presentation of Joseph the Dreamer. It was a joy to watch the presentation of the students performed with so much “gusto”. It was good to see a biblical story portrayed with a modern twist. Blending the dialogue with rap music was artistically created that it appealed to both the young and mature audience. I was very impressed indeed and can honestly confirm that “Bethany Has Got Talent”.

Well done to all the cast and the staff who worked hard to entertain us. Thank you.

  

 

MARY JOY GOES TO COLLEGE.

As a result of the kindness of Mr Michael & Mrs Mary Beth Soignet from Charlotte, North Carolina USA, Mary Joy Radam one of our Bethany children or should I say young ladies has now enrolled at Bukidnon State College Talakag Campus. Incidentally Mr & Mrs Soignet have already a son adopted from Bethany called Darvy.

Mary Joy has elected to take a course leading to obtaining a BSc in Elementary Education. Mary Joy’s ambition is to teach at Elementary School on completion of her studies. The degree course is of 5 years duration and runs Monday to Friday from 4pm to 9pm and Saturday from 8am till 12 Noon and 1pm till 4pm. Due to the course being part time in structure it’s very demanding as Mary Joy also works as a carer at Bethany. I spoke with Mary Joy today Friday 19th November and asked her how she was finding going back to school so to speak. She told me although the college schedule is demanding she is enjoying the challenge and is determined to do well and not let her sponsors down.

I will keep you all updated on Mary Joy’s progress as she travels along the road of academic enlightenment.

Once again a big personal thank you to the Soignet’s for your kindness from myself and Marilou on behalf of Bethany.
