THE Divine Word Academy of Dagupan (DWAD) will hold its 49th Recognition Day on March 29 at 2 p.m. at the school gymnasium. A thanksgiving mass will usher in the occasion as an expression of thanks to the Almighty.

Highlight of the event will be the induction of the new set of officers of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) who will serve for two years (2006-2008) led by top businesswoman–civic leader Lelia Chua-Sy.

Twenty-one year old blind girl Minnie Aveline Posadas Juan of San Carlos City, a consistent first honors student and magna cum laude for the Bachelor of Arts degree in English at the Trinity College of Quezon City, will give an inspirational message.

Minnie Aveline became the first Filipino Braille International Awardee during the 3rd Onkyo Braille Essay Competitions held in Japan, represented by countries from the Asia-Pacific Region.

City Schools Superintendent, Dr. Aurora Tiu Domingo will induct the new officers led by Chua-Sy.

Domingo herself was a former teacher of the DWAD and class adviser in the elementary level of Batch 1973.
