Beyond San Antonio In choosing school it’s not important if it is private or public, what important is, how they hold and teach students. San Antonio Elementary School is a good example because this school knows how to handle students properly. There were so many students graduated in this school and they like it. There is a graduating student this year named Neal Russel Flores told to me this line: “Ang San Antonio na ang naging pangalawang tahanan naming simula Grade I hanggang Grade VI. For some students who cannot enroll in
private school, they are free to enroll in our school. One of my classmate told me this,”Kaya ko napili mag-aral ditto kasi hindi pinipili ang nag-aaral dito.” Ivan Kenneth Dela Cruz. San Antonio is a beautiful school. Year by year it improves a lot. Now, it has neat surroundings because of its green colored paint of the buildings and fences. Trees makes it more beautiful also. SAES is a right place for students because teachers here gave their full effort to teach us. Thank You SAES and to all my teachers.
Edukasyon Edukasyon ay ating pagyamanin upang ang mithiin ay makamtan natin; ang pagiging mag-aaral ay isang karangalan na dapat natin ipagmalaki.
By Dianne Decasa
Sa panahon ngay on maraming mga bata ang hindi na pinahahalagahan ang kanilang pag-aaral. Dahil ang iba ay gusto na lang maglaro ng “computer games” at ang iba naman ay tinatamad na. Nararapat tayong mga bata ay pahalagahan ang edukasyon. Dapat tayong mag-aral nang mabuti at huwag tamarin dahil ang edukasy on ay isang kayamanan. Kakailanganin din natin ito upang makamit ang ating mga magagandang pangarap sa buhay. Gawin nating inspirasyon ang ating mga magulang sa kanilang paghihirap sa pagtatrabaho, dugo at pawis ang kanilang puhunan para
lamang maitaguyod ang ating pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan at upang tayo’y makapagtapos ng pagaaral. Dahil sa kanilang paniniwala ang EDUKASYON ang tanging bagay na kaya nilang ipamana sa atin. Maging inspirasyon din natin ang mga batang hind makapag-aral dulot ng kahirapan. Maging responsable tayo bilang isang anak. Magpasalamat tay o dahil nagkaroon tay o ng oportyunidad na makapag-aral dahil hindi lahat ng bata ay may ganitong pagkakataon. Lagi nating tandaan na ang karunungan ay hindi maaagaw nang sinuman.

Teachers and pupils who will compete for different contest use it as a review center. Some of the teachers, parents and pupils use it as their waiting area also. How about the other pictures! Yes it is a clean and good smelled comfort rooms for the pupils. It is another project of our energetic principal. It is very comfortable for the pupils. They really appreciate it and there were hired janitors who maintain its cleanliness everyday.
Gulayan and Kubos
Gulayan and kubos are the most attraction of our school because of the green leaves and brown kubos, it seems that we are in the province. As you entered in our school, the first thing that will catch your attention is this two. It is so rare here in Manila that schools have these scenery. That’s why we are so proud and thankful to our school principal to have this project. Gulayans purpose is for the pupils to be familiar with different kinds of growing plants. Kubos are used to be their waiting area and review center. Thank you for all the extra effort especially the EPP teachers who maintain these projects. Hope that they will continue to plant more nutritious vegetables.

Natural Ways to Sleep Better By Mrs. Lailanie B. Romero
Better sleep leads to a better life. Many of us, including young people, hav e complained of not having a good sleep. This article will give you a better sleep if you follow the tips. 1. Bask in morning sunshine. Sun rays have a potent effect on the body’s internal clocks that can reset your sleep cycle.
June-December, 2013
news you will know the reasons. The only reason is this, HUMAN ACTIVITIES! We throw wastes anywhere and in the river which causes flash flood. We burn garbage and trees wherein it destroy the ozone layer. We also cut trees that causes flashflood. What is your opinion about Climate change?
2. Exercise regularly. Regular work out several times a week will make your overall health and will greatly improve your sleep. 3. Limit caffeine intake, especially in the evening. It impairs rest in so many ways and slumbering is less refreshing. 4. Go off the grid. It is good to dim lights one hour before bedtime, and sign off from technology use. Try to have warm bath, too.
5. Make your bedroom a sanctuary for sleep. Keep your bed comfortable and cool. Make yourself free from any reminders of work that stresses you. 6. Cover your clock. Face your alarm clock to the wall or hide it under your bed so you will not have tendency to wake up, look at it and fall back to sleep. 7. Stick to your regular sleep schedule even on weekends. Consistently arising everyday at the same time is crucial to set and maintain a healthy sleep cycle.

My Bestfriend PATIENCE By Hanah Collen

The SUN
She’s my bestfriend, Till the very end,
By John Paul
She makes me smile, All the while,
Don’t you think the sun is bright?
When she goes away, I miss her everyday,
I wonder where it goes at night? Does it sleep or does it hide?
She cheers me up when I have frown, And turns that frown upside down,
Or is the moon on its other side?
She’s always the one who knows what to say, I promise you Im here to stay.
Does it hide behind the hills?
We have so many memories, That are going to stay with me We had so much fun And more to come
Late at night as outside chills? Do you think it needs to rest? From all that warming it does best?
You’re my truly bestfriend for me And you’re my one and only trophy.
Could it even have a home? Maybe in London or even in Rome?
Mom says, “Have patience the rain will stop.”
LOVE
Or does it just float around? Moving slowly from town to town?

What a Happy Day on Farm By: Pear Ann Brinas
It’s happy pretty noisy on the farm The rooster crow and crow The hens cackle and cackle The chickens says “bok... Bok... Bok...” While the bird says “tweet... Tweet... Tweet...” The turkeys gobble and gobble While the frogs crak and crawk The bees buzz and buzz While the snake hiss and hiss The duck quack and quack And ducklings do too. The men laugh and laugh And the women do, too. The toddlers, little children, biys and girls Alike shouts and cry and make a lot of noise This is very noisy but happy day on the farm.
Everything exist for me Thou art the flower ideal of my soul A trotting dog healthy as a healthy dog How sweet is to dream of these. Thou maiden fair, whom tenderly I love A thousand aching memories Appear in my sight like the face divine I dream that one’s thou cam’st to visit me. My love feels me yet with joy To sing at daybreak in the garden fair An angel with rose of love And constant as the ardent light. When I felth darts of love I wonder, shall turn from him Always all of a sudden To show-off because I love exists for everything me.
When Sun Comes Out By Cyrelle Kayla M. Angala
Tomorrow when the sun comes out, Tomorrow when the birds sing out. Sun shines so bright, Sun makes the day light. When sun glow, Little flower will grow, Children come out and play, When the sun shines today. Tomorrow you will see and that will be.
Yes I think it must do that! After all the earth’s not flat So the sun goes round and round Spreading sunshine on the ground.

Explotion of San Antonio Arnis by John Paul and Hanah Coleen
HISTORY of ARNIS
By Andrei Kirk David
Modern Arnis is the system of Filipino martial arts founded by the late Remy Presas as a self-defense system. His goal was to create an injury-free training method as well as an effective selfdefense system in order to
preserve the older arnis systems. The term modern arnis was also used by Remy Presas to describe his style of Filipino Martial Arts; since 1999 Ernesto Presas has called his system Kambatan. Now, Arnis is our national sports in the Philippines.
Terrible Glorie-Ann Mendoza showed her best and lead the San Antonio Arnis in the Division with Eduardo Hapin, won the bronze medal in Regional Lev el in the Pinaglabanan Elementary School last January 24,2014. Mendoza explode her best just like what they practice with Coach Ronel Alcaras, step by step doing the terrible exercises with her other teammate. Mendoza just put down the division and finally went in the National Capital Region (NCR) level for her next challenege.
San Antonio Elementary School had just won a bronze medal in NCR level defeat by Pasay got the gold medal and San Juan got the silver medal. Mendoza had just loose control of her Arnis so put down by the Pasay but the whole San Antonio was proud of her. Mendoza left the name of Sa Antonio and all of the students there was very proud of what she ha ve alone. She just showed her best and explode her skills to put down her opponent.
