Reading, Writing, and Speaking are just three of the many important skills on the English Language .Gaining mastery on these skills means a better way of communicating using the language. As James Russell Lowell says, “Reading is the key which admits us to the world of thought, fancy, and imagination. It enables us to see with the keenest eyes, hear with the finest ears, and listen to the sweetest voices of all times”. Reading means many things to us. It can be one of the most rewarding preoccupations of the individual, expanding his horizons and making it possible for him to partake of man’s accumulated experiences and achievements through the ages.

As English teachers, we devote our time in teaching English Communication; we give importance on the worthwhile task of developing the power to perceive beauty and enjoyment of life, of the mind, and of the spirit. So, read and enrich language. It will give us more pleasure; skills that help us discover the answers to questions about existence. It stimulates us to unravel the mysteries of nature. It takes us into the world of thought and imagination, an adventure which enables us to acquire a clear, deeper understanding of reality.

Our goal in this Book Month celebration should not end here. Though, I strongly believe that we have achieved our goal, we must still continue to read, speak, and think. It should be a continuing process.

As your Head in the English Department, I would like to congratulate all English teachers. I am very proud of you for a task well done. Congratulations for involving yourselves and your students more participation than the previous years. With the different learning activities we had just finished, no doubt you have inculcated the values, the self-confidence, and the skills we wanted to be instilled in them. Furthermore, I would like to congratulate the organizers of today’s affair led by Mrs. Aurora L. Rivera, together with the number of teachers, and likewise the officers and adviser of the PNHS-Main English Club.

Thank you and PEACE BE WITH US.
