In light of the Christmas season, the Saint Joseph College-Elementary Department, meaningfully held its annual Adopt-a-Brother Program last December 11, 2025, at the Hachang Gym. Through collective generosity and passionate relationship, dear pupils, teachers, and institutional partners gathered altogether for a morning of caring and sharing.
Prior to the Celebration was a Holy Mass. Then, Mrs. Florabel E. Tse, Community Extension Coordinator, warmly welcomed the attendees, emphasizing the necessity of giving, serving, and collaborating: moral values, which the program maintains to possess each year.
Delivering an inspiring Christmas message, Justin Nickolas P. Judilla, PTO President, highlighted happiness and gratitude.
As a show of tribute to the pupils from SJC, pupils from Lanao Elementary School shared their gifts through solo and dance presentations.
One of the programโs promotions was the upholding book donation, symbolizing the SJCโs consideration to enhancing literacy and shaping pupils from partner institution.
Expressing her heartfelt gratitude, Mrs. Aurora Mulig, Elementary School Librarian, recognized the continuous love of teachers, parents, and benefactors toward the pupils from Lanao Elementary School.
The celebration ended through a message filled with acknowledgement delivered by Mrs. Rosemarie B. Cortel, MAEd, SJC-Elementary Principal, who reminded the programโs mission: to express act of kindness beyond the school grounds of SJC.
