INCAT bagged the Championship trophy in the Laoag City English Olympics 2010. The school bested 8 other High Schools in the city and winners will be on the road to the Regional English Olympics which will be held in Pangasinan next week.
INCAT got first place in Spelling, first place in Essay Writing ( I'm the coach of the winner) and first place in Reader's Theater ( I am the coach here too). But of course, the victory was due to our concerted efforts. The RT Team was superb! Thanks to the teachers who assisted and to our new OIC in the English Dept., Ma'am Baby.
To God be the Glory!!!!

A TEACHER'S DAY SURPRISE
We celebrated World Teacher's Day twice today..One was at INCAT this morning and another at the Laoag City Amphitheater in the afternoon.The latter brings a smile not only because of the party attended by all teachers in Laoag but because of an unexpected award given to me. I was one of the mentors given recognition by DepEd. I was particularly cited for "invaluable support and cooperation for the programs and projects of the Department of Education and her services beyond the call of duty specially in improving the competency and proficiency of students in the English Language".
I was totally clueless before my name was called. I had been feeling so tired after weeks of preparation for our school's English Olympics which was held yesterday (my Reader's Theater team from the Junior class won 1st place). I was one of 2 awardees for English today.
But there are other things that supersede the award. I have received greetings from former students ( both from P.I. and abroad). The most striking gift I have received is a poem given by my former student , Gladys Gacho Domingo, currently the Principal of Ablan Elementary School.
BLESSINGS FOR A TEACHER
to Mrs. Ritchelle Blanco Dejolde
May your gift of teaching awaken
minds to new ideas and expand
hearts beyond boundaries.
May your desire to educate evoke
the unique gifts of each student
and the deep desires of each heart.
May your love of learning lead
students to awe and wonder
at their participation in
our sacred universe.
May your story-telling inspire
imagination and creativity
and your examples lead
to those you teach
to be generous and noble.
And, as you bless your students
on their way,
may you delight
at the gift your life offers to
the future.
Thank you dear Teacher.
You are a part of who I am today.
