SIGLAKAS Family Sports Day 2026: A Week of Energy, Unity, and School Spirit at SFAMSC 🎶🏆

Last March 14, 2026, the St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta community joyfully celebrated one of the most anticipated highlights of the school year—SIGLAKAS Family Sports Day 2026, the grand culmination of a week-long sports festival filled with excitement, teamwork, and Franciscan school spirit.

Here is the video montage of our Siglakas 2026 activities!

Derived from the words Sigla (energy) and Lakas (strength), SIGLAKAS is more than just a sports event. It is a meaningful school tradition that brings together students, parents, teachers, and families in a celebration of unity, perseverance, friendship, and healthy competition. Throughout the week, learners from Preschool to Junior High School participated in various tournaments and activities that encouraged both athletic excellence and character development.

From volleyball and basketball matches to chess and Scrabble competitions, students demonstrated discipline, teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship. Each event highlighted not only their growing skills but also their confidence and determination as members of their respective teams.

A Celebration with a Musical Theme 🎵

Adding color and excitement to this year’s SIGLAKAS celebration was its lively music-inspired team theme, which gave each group its own identity, rhythm, and personality:

• ❤️ Team Red  Rock

• 💚 Team Green New Wave

• 💙 Team Blue Pop

• 💛 Team Yellow Hip Hop

Throughout the week, these teams proudly represented their musical styles through cheers, costumes, teamwork, and performances that energized the entire school community. The students' creativity and enthusiasm were especially evident during the much-awaited Cheerdance and Yell Competition, the highlight of the final celebration day.

The culminating event on March 14 brought together parents and students for a joyful day of cheering competitions, championship matches, and fun-filled family games.

Strengthening the Franciscan Spirit Through Sports and Family Participation

More than medals and trophies, SIGLAKAS Family Sports Day represents the heart of the Franciscan learning experience. It provides students with opportunities to grow in confidence, cooperation, leadership, and resilience while strengthening friendships and deepening their connection with the school community.

The presence and participation of parents made the celebration even more meaningful. Through cheering competitions, family games, and shared moments of joy and encouragement, families became active partners in creating a vibrant and supportive learning environment for their children.

In the spirit of Cura Personalis, or care for the whole person, SIGLAKAS continues to nurture not only physical strength but also character, teamwork, and a sense of community belonging among our learners.

Congratulations to all students, parents, teachers, and teams who made SIGLAKAS Family Sports Day 2026 a joyful and memorable celebration of energy, unity, and Franciscan pride. We look forward to many more years of growing stronger together—with sigla and lakas! 🎉

Preschool Buwan ng Wika Performances 2025

Noong Agosto 22, 2025, masayang sinimulan ng St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika sa pamamagitan ng makukulay na pagtatanghal ng ating mga preschoolers. Ipinakita ng ating mga batang mag-aaral ang kanilang pagmamahal sa bayan sa pamamagitan ng mga tradisyunal na sayaw at makabagbag-damdaming tula—tunay na repleksiyon ng mayamang kultura ng Pilipino.

Ang Buwan ng Wika ay isa sa mga pinakahinihintay na buwanang selebrasyon sa St. Francis Cainta. Sa pamamagitan ng mga gawain tulad ng deklamasyon, pagbasa ng tula, at pagtatanghal ng musika, naipapakita ng mga mag-aaral ang kanilang pagpapahalaga sa wikang Filipino at sa ating kultura. Layunin ng mga kaganapang ito na higit pang paigtingin ang pagmamalaki sa pagka-Pilipino at pagyamanin ang pagpapahalaga sa kahalagahan ng pangangalaga sa ating iba’t ibang wika at tradisyon.

Narito ang ilang larawan at bidyo na sumasalamin sa sigla at saya ng natatanging pagdiriwang na ito.

Buwan ng Wika is one of the most anticipated month-long celebrations at St. Francis Cainta. Through activities such as declamations, poetry readings, and musical performances, students highlight their appreciation for the Filipino language and culture. These events not only deepen their understanding of our national heritage’s virtues but also instill pride in their Filipino identity, while emphasizing the importance of preserving our country’s diverse languages and traditions.

SFAMSC Bonfire Yell 2025: Scouts Celebrate Filipino Values at Annual Camporee!

The SFAMSC Bonfire Yell is one of the most anticipated highlights of the annual SFAMSC Scouting Camporee for Grades 4 to 10. Each year, scouts receive a theme that connects them to their Filipino heritage. The theme can focus on historical landmarks, national events, or Filipino heroes. This year, the chosen theme was traditional Filipino values, encouraging scouts to celebrate and express the values that shape their culture and identity.

Each patrol was assigned a specific Filipino value, and their yells and choreography were crafted to reflect that value. The scouts brought these values to life through creative lyrics, energetic movements, and strong teamwork, showcasing their spirit and pride in carrying forward these important cultural lessons. The Bonfire Yell was a vibrant display of unity, respect, and joy, bringing everyone together around the shared pride in the SFAMSC community of our Filipino roots.
