The September 7 Event started with Notre Dame procession. The procession is from the Main Gymnasium going around outside the school's vicinity. We didn't join in the procession to give the little girl some time to rest.

After the procession is the assembly of the ES students to assigned classrooms per section to prepare them for the presentation. Then, it was followed by the Elementary School Mass Demonstration at the Main Gymnasium.

NDGM DAY 2013

NDGMs 50th founding anniversary was celebrated last Sept 11. We were in school the whole day to watch the PreSchool and Grade School presentations. My little one performed in the morning while my two boys performed in the afternoon. One of the highlights of the celebration is the presentation of Marian floats prepared and decorated by each Grade Levels which will later be part of the afternoon parade. The Grade Six float won 1st place because of their creative concept of putting a miniature village on the float.

NDGM FIELD DEMO 2012

Prior to this, take a peek on our preparation for the costumes and accessories needed for their dance presentation. Last year was more manageable because the class advisers helped in preparing the accessories unlike now, we had to do it by ourselves. We're actually busy preparing all these last week.

Yakus group won in the recent Field Demonstration held last Sept. 8. Their own dance interpretation of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" matched with a metallic silver and green costume like Lady Gaga's style.

2008 NOTRE DAMEs DAY

Kuya & Yaku performs a group dance, the theme is Mindanao Festivals. Their costumes and dance steps are native but the music interpretation is a modern one.
Kuya's Group won the first place. Their costume was stylishly designed and the performance was great.

NOTRE DAMEs FOUNDATION DAY

The Kinder I pupils perform a rendition of Sway and Livin’ La Vida Loca dance number. Though I wasn’t able to watch him closely because of a huge crowd, I can see the energy and determination of each student in the presentation. The class advisers were coaching them in front of the stage. I only saw the whole performance of Kuya on the video taken by my husband. Through there, I saw how my son danced gracefully as he follows his teacher’s dance steps :-)
Their effort was rewarded as they won the third spot in the competition. Congratulations, Kinder I!
