The SLS teachers rediscovered Bohol in a three-day educational tour last July 1-3, 2011. Believing that education goes beyond the four walls of the classroom, they headed for Bohol to see for themselves its historic and scenic spots.
Together with the principal, Dr. Menchi G. Nayad, they explored what Bohol has to offer: the Carabao Milk Farm, the Bohol Water Reservoir, the breath-taking Chocolate Hills, the historic Sandugo Blood Compact Site, the unique Kanipaan Kingdom (Tarsier), and the Bee Farm.
Aside from being educational, the tour proved to be fun and exciting. It offered them a breathing space away from their confining classrooms and hectic daily routines.
You can bet they came back refreshed and fully recharged for another year of committed teaching to their dear SLS students.

Just a short review of your Philippine Geography lesson:
Bohol is an island province three and a half hours boat ride from Bato, Leyte. The natives who are called Boholanos strive to preserve Mother Nature’s bountiful gifts to them.
The island province also prides itself for having many of the old churches in the Philippines. It has numerous caves as the name suggests. Bohol came from the word boho (“hole” in English).
It also boasts of a wide river, the Loboc River, where the world famous Floating Restaurant is. A boat ride on it promises sumptuous food and soothing beautiful music – Bohol style.
