SNA GOT TALENT: A BIG EVENT FOR SNA COMMUNITY!

The Saint Nicholas Academy of Vintar, Ilocos Norte is one of the most famous
and popular Private School and Catholic School of the entire Ilocos Norte.
Except from being the most popular and famous school, SNA is also gifted
with many talents. There are many clubs that the Institution built. One of
them was the Group of the Rondalla, THE TROUVERSE OF SAINT CECILLA.
They knew that St. Cecilia is the Patron Saint of Music. There is also the
Group of the Drum and Lyre Corps., THE SAINT NICHOLAS ACADEMY DRUM
AND LYRE GLOCKENSPIEL. There is also some minor literary groups that SNA
has, we have the SNA DANCE TROUPE etc. And these present days, SNA
decided to have a Talent Show for all the students, entitled THE FIRST
EVER: SAINT NICHOLAS ACADEMY GOT TALENT
The SNA GOT TALENT was been the mind of the Counselors Family, headed
by their Family Advisers: Mr. Mark Kelvin Guzman and Mr. Richard L. Caldoza.
It is hard to convince the principal to have this tremendous Talent Show,
Maureen Crista Caluya, Family Beadle, exclaim. But, theres a big WOW! For
us. WHY? All the helping hand of the students tries and tries to convince the
principal, and they succeed, as they say, TRY AND TRY UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.
We make our face a little bit thicker to convince the principal, hahaha, Mr.
Mark Kelvin Guzman said. The talent show started w/ a prayer, led by
Michelle Ibana and the Phil. Natl. Anthem, Clarice Siazon, conducting. The
event w/ an intermission number led by the selected students and the
delegates for the talent show and w/ the instruction of Mr. Richard L.
Caldoza. Hoh! What a great performance., shouted by a student. Mr. Mark

important is the show is continued. Talent show begun and finished. The
crowd was shouting very, very loud when THE DARLING OF THE NIGHT came
