I was excited to see her, and was glad as well that parents and guardians are allowed to wait at the covered court for their children the whole time, until the children can brave it on their own. I think it is necessary for the first few months to be there, especially for those young ones still with school anxiety. So far, Rain has been okay with her classmates and teachers, and has been coping well.

I stayed with her mom that morning at the waiting area near the canteen while we waited for her.

So much has changed from the pandemic, there are a lot of rules to follow - which is great and assuring! I like this private school, which is one of the best in our town. A plus is that it is near our current residence, just a minute ride away from the school.

I am awed by the orderliness of the school and the facilities. The classrooms are also air-conditioned. The principal and the staff are sure doing a great job of managing the place.  I took photos while I was there during the recess, as I looked around. 

Took a shot of the school map, which I am featuring for Signs2.

Then this tree in the middle of the school yard where a garden was developed caught my attention, with all its assorted plants.

 As I was taking photos, a teacher asked me if I'm also a plantita, then he showed me around. He told me that he planted and tended all those plants there by the tree, during the lockdown in 2020-2021. I was awed by the assorted plants they had, as they looked new to me and pleasing to the eyes.
