UPIS celebrates Wonderland in CA EMA Week 2014
Students, teachers, and staff found fantasy
in reality in the CA English, Music, and Art (CA EMA) week festivities held
last November 18-21.
Dubbed Wonderland: Finding Fantasy in
Reality, the week-long celebration was formally opened on November 18 with
Skits of Freenia, a presentation by the English Club to introduce Alice in
Wonderland which is the inspiration for this year’s theme.
It concluded with the much-awaited Literally
Literary Day (LLD) held on November 20. Students dressed up as characters from various
literary works and presented spiels in English class. Each section chose two
representatives to compete in the LLD contest later that afternoon.

girl, Marianne Sasing of 9-Iron as Elphaba of Wicked, and Miguei Abogado of
