School urged to bring back Fun Run event

STORY BY GEORGIE DOMINGUEZ

THE ‘Fun Run’ used to be an event at Divine Grace School that’s part of the Foundation Week in the middle of October, together with the Mass Demo and the anniversary of the campus. Graceans gather all together at 5:30 in the morning at the Robinsons Novaliches' Parking Area, ready to have a blast and celebrate the event.

This event taught the students to enhance not only their social skills but also their outdoor lives.

With this, they can improve their overall health by recreating and participating in these activities.

But after the pandemic broke out in March 2020, educational activities have been limited— including the DGS' Fun Run.

The once chaotic, memorable, and long-tracked event is now just a mere memory for the students.

"I remember them being really fun. It was actually quite fun; I liked that it was conducted in the early morning, so it wasn't too hot,” Stephanie Sabado of Grade 9-Opal said.

"I do miss it and other events like it, such as the field trip. I hope that in this upcoming school year, with full face-to-face integration and waning COVID-19 infection statistics, we might be able to once again participate in events such as the fun run and return to "normalcy," whatever that may be.”
