Pursuant to Republic Act 10157 or the “Kindergarten Education Law,” the Kindergarten Festival of Talents is being conducted annually in all public schools.

          This year, Timoteo Paez Elementary School once again opened its search for the best pupils to represent the school and to compete in the Division Level of Kindergarten Festival of Talents. All kinder teachers encouraged all parents to let their children who have potential to join in different contest categories.

           The event was hosted by Mrs. Ma. Theresa V. Bocabel, and the program is formally opened by the welcome remarks of Mrs. Rowela R. Cadayona – Master Teacher II.

        Three judges were invited to choose the winners in the contest. The 1^st judge is a TPES grade 5 teacher – Mrs. Cheryline Y. Pulvera; the 2^nd judge is Ms. Mary Ann Agoto, who is also a grade 5 teacher at TPES; and the 3rd judge is Mrs. Tracy Q. Bruno, TPES grade 4 teacher. 

The kinder pupils performed in various contest categories such as the vocal solo, cha-cha & cariňosa, storytelling, drawing, and story reading. The participants performed differently which is why the judges found it difficult to choose the winners.

            Indeed, Kindergarten Festival of Talents is a great way to showcase the potentials of kindergarten pupils to strengthen their confidence and self-esteem, enhance the standards and quality of kindergarten program, and ensure that physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual being of children are developed.
