Ref, timeout muna! 🏀⏱️
Before we continue the game, let’s call a quick timeout to greet our SSLG PIO a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉

Today we celebrate the birthday of the guy who took charge of the archive room and sports equipment office, making sure that everything is in place. The guy we can trust behind heavy tasks and happy days, basically we need him most of the time.

Beyond the responsibilities, he’s also an all-around athlete whether it is Football, Volleyball, or Basketball, we know he’s good, but let’s be honest, basketball is where he shines the brightest. 🏀

Kind, dependable, smart, and undeniably handsome, well we can say he really is a whole package! May this year be filled with wins on the court, in school, and in life. Enjoy your day, Lance!

𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂 𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓼, 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓼! 🎄✨

As we celebrate the birth of Christ, may His love shine through our hearts and guide us to live with simplicity, humility, and service—just as St. Marcellin Champagnat taught us. This season reminds us that being a Marista means being a light to others, especially to those in need. May our homes be filled with peace, our hearts with gratitude, and our lives with the true spirit of Christmas: love shared and hope renewed. 💙🤍

One Christmas, families set aside their busy days, came together, laughed over shared meals, played games, and left with hearts a little fuller than before. 🎄✨

𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. ❤️💖

Last 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 19, 2025, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗗𝗗𝗨 𝗜𝗕𝗘𝗗–𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 came together to celebrate Family Day filling the campus with laughter, connection, and the kind of joy that feels like home. Rooted in Marist and Damean values, the day reminded us that school is more than academics it’s a family we grow with.

The celebration became more special as families shared a hearty meal, laughed through games, and spent precious time not only with their loved ones but also with fellow Espina families. These simple yet heartfelt moments strengthened bonds and reminded everyone that our school is truly one big family.

Wrapped in the warmth of the Christmas season, the day sparkled with joy, gratitude, and hope. 🎁💐

It was a beautiful reminder that the true spirit of Christmas is found in togetherness, shared love, and the joy of being one Marist and Damean family. ✨🎄💛
