I have been so busy lately in my working place been the chairman of the planning committee. It's not easy been one but I just maintained it and tried my best to remain hard-working been the chairman. It's not easy been the head of a committee or the head of any department. Many people may see it as nothing or a place where one is enjoying but if you have not been there,.you will.mot k ow if it is stressful or enjoying.
I have been so busy with the organization of our Valedictory Service/ End of session program for the past two months now. It came with the yearbook preparations where all the students had to take their potraits.
They took their photos on casual and on uniforms. They also took group photos. It took me time to gather them together for the photographs ranging from the senior classes to the junior classes. It was so Stressful and without any form of rewards.
These students below are the graduating students which I took their photographs of when they were seated on a staircase. They were so happy that every day, which hot me carried away.
Now back to business:... Apart from the yearbook staff, I also called my committee to discuss the way forward towards the forthcoming Valedictory Service, to which I got a tangle response. We planned the program and decided to take the list to our boss, who then promised to make all funds available.
The yearbook issue came up and was finally gone, but other aspects came up which got all our plans wanting to die low but later revived. When it was closed to the day of the exams, we started planning again, which got us late Preparations. I just thank God that we were able to need up speedily.
Funds were released and we went for the cow. On our way back we encountered some problems which made us to arrived late.
The truck we took to get the cow, developed some faults which were not rectified, but instead, the truck was towed back to the school.
Some teachers on the other hand have been on the ground for the preparation of the food. They have divided themselves according to the work on the ground. So, the cow was slaughtered, where the women later packed the meat into a lot and got it cooked.
Almost all the teachers slept in the school just because of the Preparations. This is what we have been doing. It has been our culture that teachers will sleep in the school to support the women who are doing the cooking.
Just on Tuesday, the stress was finally lifted. The program was done on Tuesday where all the students including the graduating and non graduating students were converged in the hall including their parents and some other invited guests.
Before then, my boss, the principal and I (@pearlkel) got the hall arranged. We made the hall so unique and special.
Graduands seats.
Non graduands seats
The parents seats were arranged I'm the opposite side.
During the program, the events that took place are:
Miming
Cultural display
It's talents but they have practice this before. They carried out the real display of culture.
Science exhibition:
Here, the students used chemicals to produce elephant toothpaste. It was spectacular seeing our students in such performances. They truly tried to have come up with this kind of idea.
Drama: In the drama, it was just like someone gave birth to a certificate which was given the the outgoing students. It was so interesting.
Fashion parades: This particular one was used to make money for the school. The students grouped themselves into those representing different states. In them, we had a total of 16 states. The one with the highest money won.
At the end of it all, we had two men standing, but we need to get the best, which we did got. It was a tug of war for parents who came from those states. At the end, we got the winner who happened to come from the same state.
She is the winner. She is the newest miss ELBOSSAA. ELBOSSAA college is the name of the school I teach. So, she is now called MISS ELBOSSAA.
Other activities were carried out, but these are the ones I was able to capture since I was moving from one point to the other to see the success of the program.
Congratulations to the graduands. Wherever they go, they shall receive bountiful blessings. They shall not lack and shall always succeed at all costs. I pray for them to have a bright future, and they shall use any opportunity to get to their goals. They shall attain their peak.
Congratulations to them once again.
I was able to sigh with relief in the end with you. Sounds like a great deal of preparation had been done and you did it. Congrats to you for a successful program :)
