by: dave matthew r. palmero
In education, milestones are not just achievements; they are
narratives of passion, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Today, we are elated to share the extraordinary accomplishment of one of our
bright students, Althea B. Guillermo, who has recently been honored with the
prestigious Gawad Teodora Alonso Award for storytelling.
The Gawad Teodora Alonso 2023, the fifth edition of the
formerly called National Competition on Storybook Writing. The competition aims
to appreciate the roles of stories and illustrated storybooks as a tool in
reading enhancement and gather original stories that demonstrate K to 12
learning.
Guided by the nurturing hand of her dedicated coach, Joann
Carranza, Althea B. Guillermo delved into the world of storytelling,
transforming words into captivating tapestries of imagination. As a teacher, Mam
Joann played a pivotal role in honing Althea’s narrative prowess, instilling knowledge,
and a deep appreciation for storytelling.
In the spirit of Teodora Alonso, Althea has illuminated the
path for future storytellers, demonstrating that every story has the potential
to inspire, educate, and transform. Congratulations, Althea, on this remarkable
achievement! May your storytelling continue to enrich the tapestry of our
shared experiences and inspire future generations.
