La Salle schools celebrate Catholic Teachers' Day (3rd Update)

Even after the celebration of Catholic Teachers' Day last 26 January 2008, La Salle schools across the nation are still giving tribute to teachers who have made a difference in their lives.

A portion of the De La Salle Philippines (DLSP) website has been dedicated to online greetings and public testimonies for the teachers. Students are invited to post a letter for at least one teacher or mentor who has influenced them. This service, open to all Lasallians can be accessed at http://delasalle.ph/myteacher starting 23 January. Private letters submitted through the site will be delivered by DLSP, its distinct way of thanking the Lasallian educators.

As of today, there are more than 500 replies in the DLSP website, mostly coming from students of La Salle University in Ozamis City.

Here are the activities of schools across the network:

Switch of job functions and a treat at La Salle College Antipolo (LSCA)

Selected students were given the opportunity to take the role of their teachers last 24 January at La Salle College Antipolo (LSCA). RJ Miranda, Student Council (SC) officer from LSCA, said the student affairs body organized a contribution fund and treated the teachers this 25 January from the high school and college levels.

Lasallian Partners Day in De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ)

The DLSZ Student Council reserved 25 January in the school calendar to hold their own celebration dubbed as Lasallian Partners Day. The first 30 minutes of the day was dedicated to a tribute to class advisers.
