They are there when times are good and allow us to develop a passion for something. Sports ideally teach discipline and commitment. They challenge you and build character for everything you do in life. The purpose of any athletic endeavor is to test human limits both on and off the playing field. It is for that purpose that we annually hold this District Level Athletic Meet, to instill in our pupils the true values of sports and to have them demonstrate a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship. For according to Peggy Fleming Jenkins “The most important thing is to love your sport, never do it to please someone else--it has to be yours. That is all that will justify the hard work needed to achieve success. Compete against yourself, not others, for that is who your best competition truly is." Doxology: National Anthem: Please remain standing for the singing of the Philippine National Anthem to be conducted by Mrs. Cecilia De la Peña, coach of VCS Baseball and Softball Teams. This will be followed by the singing our division hymn which will be led by Mrs. Floreza Aquino, coach of VCS Table Tennis Team. Banner: Welcome: After that exciting event showing our athletes’ eagerness to compete, let us now take a moment to lend our ears to one of the prominent administrators in our District as I give you Dr. Alejandro S. Almendras, the Principal of Valencia Central School, in his Welcome Address… Lighting : Athletes’ Oath: And now that we have lighted the Athletic Urn to denote our zeal for sporting events, allow me to give you one of the EVRAA 2010 delegates, Rachine Eloise Rama to administer the Oath of Amateurism. This will be followed immediately by the Pledge of Officiating Officials will be led by the vitally active principal of R.M. Tan Elem. School, Mr. Edgardo C. Castro. Official Declaration: Closing: And that folks ends this morning’s opening ceremony, always remember that, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” So, I bid you all the best of luck and an enjoyably lively day of friendly competitions as I hand over the microphone to our public address announcer for timely updates on the different events. Once again, enjoy the rest of the day!
