Manong Rufino and all:
I just got through talking to
my mother who is in Baguio. She is very excited about the
changes in St. Mary's School. "Gawi-gawis", she says. In
addition, she said "Gawis si Dennis Faustino. Talaga ay kaneg na
iyaleg ay anan-ak na nan studente". She likes the idea of
getting a weekly update every Friday.
With such observation from my
mother, I'm sure that folks from outside the town will hear
about it and soon enrolment will increase. Is the plan then
to have dormitories/living quarters be available for faculty
members and students the next school year? If the cost to
renovate the Stapleton Hall is about 200K pesos, that's about
$3,650. Using Manong Norman's strategy, one person can donate
that. With two people, it's $1,825 each. With 10 people, it's
$356 each. With 20 people, it's $182.50 each. With 30 people,
that's $122. I think this is doable.
The SMSSFFA has a Dormitory
Funding Assistance Committee chaired and co-chaired by Stone
Pooten and Manong Manuel Ano, respectively. Nan members yo et si
Edong Montero, Tom Belingon, Neston Yodong, Manong Lambert
Sagalla, Edwin Abeya, Philip Lacbawan (Philip, ay member ka
isnan St. Mary's email group?), Manong Norman Killip, Manong
Raymond Alipit, Manong Caesar Castro, Manong Remegio Kawi,
Manong George Gayagay, and Edwin Baniaga.
I've stayed in the Boys Dorm
from 7th grade to fourth year while I was studying in Sagada. I
learned to live (and fight) with fellow dormitorians who were
from other places. We ate together, prayed together, studied
together, cleaned our living spaces together..We did everything
together! Well, almost. No phase in my life could compare to the
highs and lows of my dorm life. And of course, serenading in the
Girls dorm was one of the highs.
So let's start raising funds
for the dormitory. I enjoin especially the dormitorians (boys
and girls) to take the lead on this.
Mia and I pledge $150 for
this project. Manang Inez, please add another line in your chart
of accounts for Dormitory Funding.
