The Sultan Kudarat Islamic Academy’s Teacher’s Day celebration unfolded under a bright and celebratory atmosphere. The afternoon program began with a deeply moving tribute to our late, beloved teacher. A posthumous award was presented to one of the siblings of Ms. Monalisa G. Ali, followed by a heartfelt speech that beautifully captured Ma’am Ali’s lasting contributions to SKIA. This poignant moment set a respectful and appreciative tone for the rest of the day.

Following the tribute, the mood shifted to one of joyous camaraderie. Teachers and employees enthusiastically participated in a series of engaging parlor games, their laughter echoing through the halls. The friendly competition fostered a strong sense of teamwork and unity, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that strengthened bonds among the staff. This lighthearted interlude provided a welcome contrast to the earlier solemnity, creating a balanced and memorable experience.

The festivities continued with a raffle draw, ensuring that every teacher and employee received a prize. The excitement was contagious as names were drawn, and the simple gesture of receiving a gift further amplified the feeling of appreciation and recognition for everyone’s hard work and dedication. This thoughtful inclusion ensured that all felt valued and appreciated for their contributions to SKIA.

The culmination of the celebration included the presentation of the “Best in Attire” and “Head-Turner” and “Eye-Catcher” awards, along with the prestigious “Employee of the Year” award. Each award was accompanied by a short speech that highlighted the achievements and contributions of the recipients. The day concluded on a high note, with everyone feeling deeply appreciated and ready to return to their duties with renewed energy and enthusiasm. The overall atmosphere was one of joy, gratitude, and a strong sense of community within the SKIA family.
