I truly appreciate your unrelenting service for the school. Because of your service, the school has grown more than just an academic institution—it has grown into a home and a training ground for our morals, so that we students will grow into people of service, dedication, passion and compassion, especially towards the marginalized sectors. We may not be able to fully remember our academic lessons, but these morals will remain innate in us as we become more productive members of society. With that, I thank you.

I entered the Theresian Community with you as a pillar. For the continuous years that you have been of service, I am and always will be thankful. You are one of the most inspiring figure who I pursue to be like. Although I may just be one of the many Theresians that are expressing their gratitude to you and may not leave a strong impression, I am happy to be able to tell you how much I appreciate everything you've done for the community. My essence as a Theresian is built around the values you've instilled in me as well as the learnings I've gained from you. I aspire to be a Theresian you will be proud of, a woman who is strong, faithful and selfless!

Thank you so much, Sr. Jo! Take care po and I wish you the very best!

From the moment I entered the campus of STC, your name rang through my ears like Church bells. Sr. Jo, a household name like yours has never once left the grateful prayers and messages of Theresians and I truly hope you remember this as you face a new chapter in your life. We students can only do so much to show our gratitude to you, especially in this difficult time of distance learning but we hope that through this simple Padlet gift, we are able to express just how appreciated and loved you are by the Theresian community. Thank you for everything you have done for us! Truly the famous "Let your light shine and be a blessing to others," is seen in and through you.

Have a lovely day, Sr. Jo! ^__^

Good day, Sr. Jo! For 13 years now, STC really taught me various things, yet the most important values you have helped instill within me is the gift of compassion and faith. Rest assured, these values and skills that I've learned and practiced will be carried out outside the walls of STC. Thank you, Sr. Jo, for everything that you have given us especially the inspiring and thoughful messages you deliver after programs. Thank you not only for your great efforts and leadership that you poured out, but also for your mere presence and grace in campus, programs, and within us. May your triumphs, challenges, love, and courage throughout life be worthwhile, and be yours and God's. Stay safe! God bless!

As a Theresian, I am entirely grateful for your service as you continue to ensure that the students are guided to become the women leaders that they aspired to be. I assure you that you have served your purpose as you see how much your service has resulted in the formation of women who have found their vocation through their experiences in STC and answer this vocation with the values that they possess.

Thank you, Sr. Jo! May God continue to bless you and be by your side.
