JCA Senior High School (SHS) and the Student Council (SC) marked its thanksgiving party for this year with the theme “The Light That Never Fades,” bringing together students and teachers in a lively celebration at the Central Hall on December 20.
The day of celebrations began with individual classroom festivities, featuring activities and events organized by the officers of each section, followed by the main event at the Central Hall.
The event set an uplifting tone with the Praise & Worship by the JCA SHS Praise Team followed by an opening prayer led by John Christian Ojos, SC Spiritual Officer.
After a warm welcome by the event hosts, Janelle De Ocampo, SC President, and Yuri Naranja, SC Secretary, attendees dove into an engaging ice breaker activity, sparking laughter and enjoyment among everyone.
Judges for the thanksgiving presentations were Mr. John Michael P. Maribojoc, JCA alumni, and Mr. Sam Soliven and Mr. Sundae Burce, heads of JCA Praise Team.
The first thanksgiving presentation kicked off with the rendition of “12 Days of Christmas,” showcasing students’ creativity and holiday cheer in each of their play.
It was shortly followed by an interactive turn of events with a lively “Survey Says” game, adding excitement to the celebration, where 11-Shiloh emerged victorious.
The winners of the “Gratitude Jar” raffle draw were also announced, with Dharylle Yasay and Alyssa Alpino from 12-Elohim, and Nicole Nobleza from 11-Elyon taking home the prizes.
12-Elohim was crowned the Champion, with 11-Shiloh taking first runner-up and 11-Shalom securing second runner-up for the thanksgiving presentation.
“Super memorable talaga ‘tong last thanksgiving party ko here sa JCA. Dahil alam ko na last year ko na rito, inenjoy ko talaga yung event, nagsayaw, naglaro, and naging champion pa sa thanksgiving presentation. I think ito yung one of the best event ngayong year sa JCA,” said Jewell Pearl Competente from 12-Elohim.By
