DepEd Provides Lapel Microphones to Enhance Classroom Instruction

Teachers of An-anaao Integrated School recently received lapel microphones from the Department of Education through the initiative of Education Secretary Juan Edgardo "Sonny" Angara, reinforcing the agency's commitment to improving classroom instruction and supporting teachers in delivering quality education.

The distribution of the instructional equipment is expected to enhance classroom communication by enabling teachers to project their voices more clearly while reducing the need to speak loudly during lessons.

School Principal Eugene Millare emphasized the value of the initiative, saying that the lapel microphones will help teachers sustain effective classroom instruction while protecting their vocal health.

"These lapel microphones will allow our teachers to deliver lessons more effectively without straining their voices. By reducing vocal fatigue, teachers can focus more on engaging learners and ensuring that every lesson is clearly communicated," Millare said.

Teacher Melanie Daria likewise highlighted the positive impact of the equipment on learners' participation and understanding.

"When learners can hear instructions and discussions more clearly, they become more attentive, participate more actively, and better understand the lessons. This simple yet practical support contributes significantly to a more effective teaching and learning environment," Daria said.

The initiative forms part of the Department of Education's continuing efforts to equip schools with practical instructional resources that promote teacher well-being and improve learner outcomes. Through programs such as this, An-Anaao Integrated School continues to strengthen its commitment to providing quality, inclusive, and learner-centered education.

Ash Wednesday School Mass Marks the Beginning of Lent for AIS

The Saranay hall was filled with reflection as students, parents, and staff gathered together for the Ash Wednesday Mass, officially marking the start of the Lenten season.

The service, held in the Saranay hall, was a time of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal as the school community entered this solemn period of the Church calendar.

Msgr. Samuel Baruela presided over the Mass, delivering a thought-provoking homily that focused on the themes of Ash Wednesday inviting us to reflect on our lives: almsgiving, abstinence, and prayer.

As is tradition, students and staff received the imposition of ashes, a reminder of their mortality and a symbol of penance.

The Ash Wednesday Mass not only serves as a spiritual beginning but also brings the entire school together to reflect on shared values of faith, community, and service. With the start of Lent, the school community looks forward to a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, each student striving to live out the message of love and sacrifice that lies at the heart of the season.

The Ash Wednesday service, while a somber occasion, is a vital reminder of the importance of faith in everyday life and the opportunity for spiritual renewal.
