Fleming vowed support for kindergarten<\/p>\n
Board of Education Chairman Esther Fleming yesterday vowed to lobby for funding to ensure the continuity of the kindergarten program of the Public School System.<\/p>\n
“This is the foundation of your formal education and we would continue to look for funding to provide for a free kindergarten program,” she told the young graduates of Garapan Elementary School.<\/p>\n
Fleming was the speaker for the kindergarten graduation of Garapan, where over 100 students earned their first diploma.<\/p>\n
A few months back, the entire elementary schools of PSS postponed the kindergarten registration after officials wanted to make sure that enough people are on board.<\/p>\n
With this commitment from the Board, Fleming also promised to look for supplemental funding to provide for the materials needed in kindergarten classes.<\/p>\n
“This is the foundation of what these students would become and we would like to make their classes more conducive to teaching and learning,” she said.<\/p>\n
Mount Carmel graduates
\nare spiritually nurtured<\/p>\n
The Mount Carmel High School marked its 39th commencement exercise Tuesday night with 50 graduates who have been nurtured and nourished in faith by a community of believers.<\/p>\n
School President Kathleen Sarmiento underscored this spiritual feature as she handed graduates their diplomas signifying their readiness to pursue college education.<\/p>\n
In her message to the graduating class, she encouraged them to choose life in order to live and to constantly nurture the seeds of divinity inside them.<\/p>\n
“Success is a journey not a destination,” she told graduates.<\/p>\n
Class valedictorian Christina Marie Stolfi Sablan urged her classmates to return to the CNMI after completing their college.<\/p>\n
“I do want to come back to Saipan and I would like to encourage others to come back. I would like to rediscover my island and I want to help the island. Saipan needs help,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
