    Since the participation of Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parochial School in the Annual Santacruzan of Santo Tomas de Villanueva Parish in 2014, the school bagged the coveted crown of Reyna Elena for the third time.  This year is very exciting as the school signed two entries for the parish-wide activity.  Mrs. Rosela Matre represented the parents and Mrs. Niña Theresa Barcelo represented the faculty of the school.
From the first canvassing until the last, the two representatives occupied the top two slots until Mrs. Rosela Matre bagged the crown of Reyna Elena and Mrs. Niña Theresa Barcelo, the crown of Reyna de las Flores.  Mrs. Matre, who was hesitant at first, agreed to represent the school and committed her time, efforts and resources all for the love of her parish.  On the other hand, Mrs. Niña Barcelo, despite her domestic and professional concerns, wholeheartedly accepted the invitation as part of her humble contribution to the involvement of the school to the parish.  
The school, with its students, parents and personnel helped through their little financial contributions likewise, the PaDSS.  Moreover, the full support of their respective spouses and family members were immeasurable.  Teachers and Officers of the Parents Advisory Council lighted the candle during procession held last May 18, 2019.
   The school is grateful for the two representatives and pray that the Lord, through the intercessions of Santo Tomas de Villanueva will be blessed a thousand fold as their participation will help incarnate the numerous programs of the parish.  
Congratulations Mrs. Rosela Matre and Mrs. Niña Theresa Barcelo!
