An afternoon with Mang Fred

Earlier this afternoon, we visited Joey JB Baluyot's dad, Mang Fred at their place in New Cabalan.

The members of SJSAA Olongapo board received a very warm welcome (we had pancit and beer - sabi kasi ng erpat ni Joey yon daw ang sekreto ng pagiging young looking nya... kaya beer pa!) More photos in this link

SJSAA US chapter sent the initial P17k for the alumni scholarship fund. This was the result of the intensified fund raisers sprearheaded by SJS Batch 1981 such as the Shindig Jam Session, Cosmic Bowling Fun, and SJS Golf Event.

The officers and members of SJSAA Olongapo wishes to extend its deepest appreciation to the efforts being exerted by US based alumni led by Batch 81 (this year's host of SJS 2011 Grandreunion in Pechanga) for the worthy projects of the association. We would be remiss if we don't mention Joey's organizing skill and sheer dedication for our cause, and fellow alumni's unselfish participation which led to the success of our endeavors.

We are requesting everyone to actively participate in the alumni's upcoming activities:

• Bingo Social this coming Saturday 14 May 2011 starting 5pm at SJC Social Hall

• Grand Reunion Celebration on 8/6/2011 at Pechanga

  Alumni Initiative
  
  Repost from St. Joseph's School Batch of 1980
  
  

  Every year the Alumni of St. Joseph's School and now a College, were meeting for a Reunion of some sort. We meet, dance, eat and talk of old times. We were happy just to see each other again and talked of old times back when we were in high school. We were having fun, but then after the party it feels that something is missing, some of us feels that it should not end when the party ends. An idea come about, "what if while having fun on the reunions we are making a difference to someones life" A young life that we can give a better chance for facing the future through education. Would it be doubly nice that while having fun we can leave a legacy. Knowing that while we're enjoying ourselves, we are helping someone for a hope of a better tomorrow and a productive life.

  
  

  The Class of 1980 would like to begin or float an idea that we the alumni as a whole body can make a difference not as an individual or a batch but as a group. Wherein we can make a sustainable commitment to make a difference to someones life. We like to call it the ALUMNI INITIATIVE not by our class but by the Alumni as a whole. Meaning, we as an alumni of SJS -SJC on our own initiative is willing to commit and support to make a difference to someones life.

  
  

  In order to do a "giving back" to our school we need to be organize. Our school is in existence since 1948 how many alumni were there since that time. Some of those alumni ended here in the USA, we do not know how many but based on the turnout of the last reunion (2010 Grand reunion) there were a lot of us. Perhaps too many, yet we do not have an alumni organization here is the USA.

  
  

  In view of this, our batch is proposing for the creation of an SJS-SJC Alumni USA. We do not know how this will come about, but Louie Sena researched what it will take to form one. At this time, we wonder how many of you alumni were thinking about it. We are all willing to help our school in way way or another, but if we have an established organization this help will be more focused and be on the terms that we the alumni wanted. Just a thought.

  Message From SJC High School Principal

  
  It is time to hear from your Alma Mater, St. Joseph School.
  
  

  FYI: Current facilities you do not have before: Fully air-conditioned library, home economics room, computer lab, internet lab, audio-visual room, chemical and physical lab. Facilities under construction: Bigger canteen cum student lounge, two-floor library, bigger audio-visual room to accomodate 2000 plus students;

  
  

  BADLY NEEDED: More scholarship grants to poor but deserving students-almost two sections have not enrolled yet due to financial constraints but these students do not wish to leave St. Joseph. At the moment we have the following scholarship grant breakdown: School's scholarship grants: 11 for working students, 50 for academic excellence, 5 for athletics grant, and tuitional discounts for children of employees and more than two children enrolled at SJS; 400 DepEd grants for students coming from public schools;

  
  

  ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP GRANTS DIRECT TO THE SCHOOL (2010): 3 for Batch 67; 7 from Batch 79 including personal grant by anonymous 79; other batches have scholars not directly addressed to the school. Please inform the principal's office if you have any.

  
  

  I am appealing to all alumni here and abroad to support the school fulfill its vision of producing more Christ-centered, dynamic and effective graduates,

  St. Joseph Olongapo Alumni Homecoming

  
  

While a good number of alumni have moved overseas in search of a better life, I strongly believe that our alma mater still has a special place in their hearth.

It is in this light that I am appealing for their kind hearth to support the SJSAA Scholarship Program. To give the same chance that we had... To gain the knowledge, skill and set of values that guided us into who we are today.

Our chance to give something back is right here, right now...
