MCS Class of ’94 breaks ground for playground addition
Mount Carmel School’s Class of 1994 has begun construction for the installation of the monkey bars and slide as part of the MCS playground expansion project.
Expected to be completed in one month, senior class president Manny Ramon said, “We were hoping to start and complete this project before classes resume but we wanted to ensure that our project was firm and well-thought out before our ground breaking.”

“We’re more thankful and excited that we can give back to the school and community as we celebrate our 20th year since graduation,” he added.
The Class of 1994 held a comedy Knight fundraising event in June to garner community support for this project as well as solicited educational tax credit donations from businesses.
On Aug. 2, the 94 Alum-Knights held a Eucharistic celebration, with Fr. Eric Forbes presiding, uniting classmates and families. The Mass also honored JM Concepcion, Roy Tenorio, and Robert Guerrero, who have already passed away. The group celebrated their 20 years with a picnic later that afternoon.
Last Saturday, Aug. 9, the Class of 1994 donated their time to assist with the landscaping and cleanup at the Maturana House of Prayer. A potluck lunch followed later that day.
Maisie Tenorio, an MCS ’94 graduate, said she was recently on campus and saw the work being done on the playground. She added that she can’t wait to try it out!
“There’s still many opportunities to join in our 20th year reunion as classmates—whether it be planning the big dinner reunion event slated for September or joining the planning sessions,” said class member Carla Torres.
Aside from the class’ efforts, more help is needed for the school. “We invite the community to seize the day and give back as the school is undergoing several phases of improvements with the stage. Any gesture, whether big or small, will go a long way toward saving the stage that holds notable history for our community, said another class member, Redia A. Dela Cruz.
