Concert King" Martin Nievera brought the house down recently at a mini-concert by The Bridge School at the Theatre at Solaire. But he wasn't the star of the show.

The show belonged to The Bridge Grade School children, between the ages of three and 12, composed of an orchestra of 60 and a choir of 41 dancers and singers. They stole the show, and Martin didn't mind.

And a good time was had by all. The Bridge School (TBS) in BF Homes Parañaque set the bar high for their annual Christmas show this year, entitled, "The Story of Christmas: Celebrating the Season... and the Savior."

Not only because it officially kicked off TBS' 25th year anniversary celebration as a school, but also because The Bridge School is "shining its Christmas spotlight" on the Mayapa Elementary School, in Barangay Mayapa, Calamba, Laguna—its "Bridge Buddy."

"The Bridge School has always extended itself to the community especially during Christmas," says TBS founder and principal Tere Tabuena del Rosario. "Every Christmas, the whole school is mobilized to help a community or community workers as a school."

This year, TBS identified its "Bridge Buddy."
