Leabres captures Outstanding teacher award

After  14  years of serving the institution, Mrs. Annabelle Claro- Leabres, an English teacher grabbed the Outstanding Teacher Award for the school year 2009- 2010 during the Commencement Exercises of the college at the AC quadrangle last March 30.
Leabres received a plaque of appreciation and P10,000 cash award from Dr. Willie A. Damasco, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Aldersgate College. The award is conceived by the Damasco family in honor of their parents the late Mr. Manuel Q. Damasco Sr. and Mrs. Elnora A. Damasco, who were great teachers in their time. “This gesture is a way of acknowledging teachers for their invaluable contribution to humanity.
The awardee together with other nominees were rated according to their students’ performance evaluation, their colleagues conducted by the Guidance Counselor and the high school principal. The results then were handed to the screening committee headed by Mrs. Luz Gasmin, the elementary school principal, who then subjected them for a panel interview. Upon careful analysis and deliberation, Leabres emerged  outstanding.
Leabres, on the other hand, assured everyone that her experiences and motivation will serve as her guide and inspiration to squeeze more of what she has for the benefit of her students, the school and for the glory of God whom she believes is the source of everything.
