DepEd: Public schools to celebrate virtual Christmas party this year

Public schools to celebrate virtual Christmas party this year

Christmas party for students this year will be quite different amid the pandemic.

But, DepEd suggests another way to celebrate the Christmas party by virtual.

DepEd-7 Regional Director Dr. Salustiano Jimenez said a virtual party is the safest way to celebrate Christmas without putting lives at risk.

Jimenez said that holding a virtual Christmas party at school is now part of the “new normal” setup.

Jimenez also advised parents to explain to their children the essence of a “stay-at-home policy”.

“Duna koy nadunggan nga ingon niana nga mga party (online), gibuhat napud na sa ubang schools. Lingaw raman pud daw. Kun ganahan gyud sila og party, ipaagi nalang og online. Sa maong pamaagi, mas safe ang mga bata kay naa ra sila sa ilang tagsa-tagsa ka panimalay,” according to Jimenez.

The regional director tells the students about the importance of education.

“Magtarong gyud ta sa atong pagtungha, kay para sa inyo raman sad ni nga kaayohan ilabi na sa inyong kaugmaon,” Jimenez said.

Christmas break for all public schools will start on December 13 and classes will resume on January 4, 2021.
