(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja kicked off Teacher\u2019s Appreciation Week on May 1 through 5 with the biblical quote, \u201cHe shall teach you all things\u201d (John 14:26).<\/p>\n<p>As the school celebrated Teacher\u2019s Appreciation Week, the quote was the perfect gospel for its Catholic lay teachers.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cLast week was very special at ESFDB because it was Teacher\u2019s Appreciation Week,\u201d said administrator-principal Carmen H. Atalig.  \u201cI wanted our students to take the opportunity to thank all their teachers.  We have a great Catholic school in the Luta community and it\u2019s because of our Catholic lay teachers.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Atalig added, \u201cI get asked over and over what makes ESFDB a great Catholic school, and I answer that it\u2019s the teachers. A teacher\u2019s day doesn\u2019t end when the bell rings at dismissal.  They still have to plan out their work and correct your work. They are so dedicated to their profession because of you, the students. Thank you teachers for all you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parent Teacher Organization president Imelda Marie H. Atalig said: \u201cThis is a week to share and express gratitude for our teachers, for all the work they do, all of their loving patience, and their constant investment into each child and each family at ESFDB.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>During the week, parents and students gave flowers, thank you cards, fruits and vegetables baskets, and thanks to some parent volunteers who manned the classrooms while teachers took a break to enjoy some treats, courtesy of Rota Mayor Efraim Atalig and Linda Atalig, members of the 16th Rota Municipal Council, Tita A. Hocog, and Rosita A. Hocog and family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA huge thank you to our parents and all of you who continue to encourage and value our ESFDB teachers and Catholic community,\u201d said Student Council president Jeremy John Atalig II.  \u201cOur teacher\u2019s have done lots of amazing things in our school.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Class adviser Mary Rose Lucero said, \u201cThe week truly does make me feel appreciated. A million thanks to the parents and students.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>To culminate the week, the teachers and parents played a game of volleyball followed by snacks provided by the parents. <strong>(ESFDB)<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja kicked off Teacher\u2019s Appreciation Week on May 1 through 5&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":251962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[16714,674,1677,16715],"class_list":["post-251958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-life","tag-appreciation-week","tag-esfdb","tag-eskuelan-san-francisco","tag-parent-teacher-organization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
