I would like to introduce you to Mrs. Monet Villanueva. Monet is principal of the Sangley Elementary School, formerly the John Paul Jones School. Mrs. Monet was installed as the Acting Principal in February of 2005 and has been working hard on behalf of her students and to provide them a quality education. As of June 13th she was completely engaged in the start of the new school year.
Monet’s husband Roel contacted me a few months ago asking if I was interested in the status of the school today. Roel and Monet sent me these amazing pictures. I was particularly struck by the picture of one of the elementary school classes and its amazing resemblance to one of my class in my yearbook. I think they were taken in the same room.
Personally, I was stunned to see that the school was still active. I am placing these pictures on this page for a few purposes. First, I believe most of you will be interested in the pictures of our former school as it exists now. I have looked at the pictures in my yearbook so many times they are almost second nature. These new pictures bring back the scale and setting of the school in a way that old pictures, which have become so well known, cannot.
