Aside from work, we’ve been
also busy in Matt’s school activities. Mommy mentioned in Momaye’s Diary that
Matt will join the APRISM’s 1st Sportsfest and Cultural Competition
as their school’s representative in vocal solo – Pre-Elementary Level.
I admit that I was also nervous, which is normal to parents like me, as he walks on the stage and started singing. Surprisingly, he did well unlike during his practice at home that he wasn’t that
serious.

Though he didn't land any place, we are still proud of him especially when we hear from one of the school personnel: “Matthew, ang galing mo kanina. Next year may laban ka na.” This means that he will, again, represent their school. With this, I think we need to purchase a Magic Sing sold in record bars or some guitar center stores.

The following week was their
schools 11th Foundation Day. On monday (first day), all students were asked to be in the school at 6am for the speed marathon. This time, we were lucky enough to see Matt in his PE
uniform at school for the first time.

On Tuesday was the last day
of their school’s Foundation Day. The event was held at SM Marilao where every
year level prepared dance numbers. Pre-Elementary had jazz dance number. Here are some photos:
After the program I brought him in one of his favorites arcade ride with "Francesco" as a simple reward.

I believe that we, as parents, should also participate in such school activities. This is part of kid's motivation in joining such activities.
By the waym here are other photos of him during the foundation day:
