今年五月四日的孝親感恩日,臺南慈中小學部有別以往呈現的方式,邀請各學年老師一同構思整體流程。雖然前一天的氣候仍陰雨綿綿,相當不穩定,但在大家的虔誠祈禱下,今日的天氣卻是格外宜人舒適。
On May 4th, we held a special celebration to express our utmost sincere gratitude to the parents for working hard to raise and nurture their children. This year’s celebration was unique and different from the past since it was designed together by the Elementary Department teachers. Although the day before the event was cloudy and drizzling, we were so delighted that this day was beautiful. We were so grateful that our prayer for a nice day was answered.

「爸爸媽媽您們好,請往這邊走。」一句簡單的問候,溫暖了家長們的心田。家長們在每位老師們的引導下,滿心期待地在視聽教室裡等待著。「各位親愛的家長們,早安!」臺南慈中曾校長開場的一句話,不僅正式揭開了活動的序幕,也預告著接下來將有一連串窩心感人肺腑的節目。
“Hello, Baba and Mama, please come this way.” A simple greeting immediately warmed the parents’ hearts. The teachers friendly guided the parents to the audio-video room to sit down. “Good morning, dear parents!” Principal Zeng sincerely welcomed each and all of the parents, then kicked off the celebration by giving a preview of the heart-warming program.

大愛媽媽們用心策劃的活動-「行善行孝不能等」劇場率先登場。大愛媽媽們用心的詮釋及逼真的演技,如此扣人心弦及撼動人心。只見家長們低頭頻頻拭淚,也許是感人的場景讓她們觸景生情,回想起昔日那懵懂的自己,曾幾何時,沒有好好享受父母們的愛。
The play, “Must not put off doing good deeds and acting filial,” opened the program. This play which was carefully scripted and vividly performed by Da Ai mothers was truly touching. Many parents were moved to tears. It made them wonder whether they had been cherishing their parents’ love in their childhood.

緊接著的是由今年度妙手生華的冠軍班級依序上台演繹動人的樂曲。欣賞著由恩嘉老師帶領的二年知足班孩子們呈現的「小小的樹」,讓家長們不禁想起,昔日黏在身旁的寶貝們,如今已由小小樹苗茁壯成一棵小樹,那樣堅強、那樣自信,淚水不自覺的從微笑的眼角滑落。最後在四年和氣班一首「最美的笑容中」妙手生華中,許多人紅了眼眶,感動之情,溢於言表。
Next, the champions of this year’s sign language performance came on stage by grade to perform. The parents smiled with tears in their eyes when they saw the second grade class of Contentment performing the sign language of “Small Trees” conducted by Teacher Enjia. They were so proud to see their children growing to small trees from saplings and being strong and confident on stage. The last performance of “the Most Beautiful Smile” was presented by the fourth grade class of Harmony. Their affectionate expression genuinely touched the audience.

接下來各學年透過「奉茶」、「浴足」、「團康活動」來表達感謝親恩及增進親子之間的情感。高年級孩子們也充分表現出對父母親的關懷與愛,認真的將熱茶奉上,父母親喝下的不只是孩子們的愛,更是滿滿的感動。透過「浴足」的活動,孩子們觸摸到那歷經歲月風霜的雙腳,間接體會到平日父母親的默默付出。許多母親們看到孩子們如此貼心的舉動,不禁潸然淚下,感動萬分。低年級孩子們手語歌唱「母親的手」,中年級孩子牽著父母的手,凝望父母的眼,溫柔的唱出「心肝寶貝」,高年級「落雨聲」都讓不少父母紅了雙眼。
Following the performance are “Serving Tea”, “Washing Feet” and “Group Games.” These activities were designed for the students to show love and gratitude to their parents and to enhance their relationships with their parents. When the senior class served hot tea to their parents with love and respect, their parents genuinely felt loved and warm as they were drinking tea. During the “Washing Feet” activity, the students appreciated more of their parents’ hard working when they personally touched their feet weathering through the tough time in life. Many parents were moved to tears as their children were tenderly washing their feet. The finale of the program was the sign language performance of “Mother’s Hands” presented by the lower class, the song of “My Darling” sung by the middle classes, and the song of “Raining” sung by the senior class. All the parents were so touching by the kind and soft melody. When the singers gently held the hands of their parents and affectionately looked at their parents, they truly stole their parents’ hearts.

五年善解班彭經文同學這次和爸爸、媽媽以及奶奶祖孫三代一同來參加體驗這充滿意義的活動。經文爸爸提到:「慈濟的環境給他更多的包容,他其實是個比較敏感、好奇心比較重的小朋友,這裡的包容心很夠。他的成長這段過程,像其他小朋友在公立或其他學校,可能會被壓抑,但是他是適當的被引導,所以他的穩定性比我們的預期來得高。」
Jingwen Peng (彭經文) in the 5th grade class of Understanding came with his parents and grandmother to the celebration. His father said, “I am glad that the school fosters an environment allowing him to develop to a calm and balanced child. The school pays attention to understand him and properly guide him to learn and behave. Jingwen is a sensitive and curious child, he would be suppressed and restrained if he attended other schools.

六年感恩班的張愷庭同學分享這次帶媽媽來體驗的心得。「因為我覺得如果能透過這浴足活動來孝敬媽媽,比平常在家做一些小小的事情更有意義。像這種類型的活動,可以讓我更具體知道如何孝順媽媽,怎樣做讓她更快樂。」愷庭媽媽:「如果一個環境對她有一個正向的引導,比給她物質的滿足更重要,因為那是往內心去教育的,這樣的人文教育真的很重要,打從孩子進了慈小後,我們安心許多,也很感謝學校。」
Kaiting Zheng (張愷庭)in the 6th grade class of Gratitude who came to this event with her mother commented, “I think that ‘Washing Feet’ is actually more meaningful than doing some trivial house chores to show filial piety to our parents. I learned a more tangible way to make my mother happy as a filial daughter.” Kaiting’s mother said, “Giving her an environment to guide her in the right direction is better than satisfying her material desires. I am so pleased and grateful that the School focuses on teaching the humanistic culture and training the students’ minds.”

「樹欲靜而風不止,子欲養而親不待。」感念父母的養育之恩情,我們不但要「即時」力行,更要「及時」報答。雖然活動只有短短兩小時,卻帶給所有家長、老師以及學生們滿滿的感動與無限的愛。
“The wind blows when the tree wants to be still; parents are gone when children can care for them.” To gracefully thank our parents for their bringing up, we must not only put our filial piety into action, but also do it now. Time flies while we are having fun. Although the two-hour program was short, it truly touched each and all in the audience, the parents, the teachers and the students.

親師生志工活動環保站體驗

「還記得我們在三月九日親師日說好親師生一起體驗志工活動的約定嗎?」終於,在三月十六日這一天,小學部三年級共一百六十多位的老師、家長與孩子們,前往和緯環保站和崇善環保站,出發囉!

活動一開始,為了提振大家的士氣,所有的親師生一起唱跳「呷菜尚甲讚」,為今天的活動揭開序幕,期許每位孩子們今天都能收獲滿滿成為環保小尖兵,希望每個家庭都能落實,讓物命延續再利用。

親身體驗 環保紮根

聽完講解後,闖關開始囉!第一站是塑膠袋分類,「臺灣人一天用5000萬個塑膠袋,塑膠袋即使經過了500年也無法分解,塑膠袋燒了會產生臭味、釋放有毒氣的戴奧辛,塑膠遇到油、酸、高溫會產生塑化劑,想想看您今天出門到現在,用了幾個塑膠袋呢?」師姑用心地解說,最後以「上街自備購物袋,提著菜籃去買菜,隨身攜帶杯碗筷,天天不用塑膠袋」幾句話來提醒大家,可以自備環保杯碗筷減少使用塑膠袋。經過了對塑膠袋分類的認識與體驗後,第三次來到環保站的三善解許芷瑜很開心今天學到了硬的塑膠袋是PP白色,以後要自己帶環保袋,不要再用塑膠袋了。

三善解黃語漾媽媽也收獲滿滿:「從前不知道米袋包裝邊緣有壓縮過的不能回收,也建議可以讓孩子體驗看看尚未整理清洗過的垃圾,會更有感觸喔!」每回都陪著孩子到環保站的三善解王語晨媽媽,對於「能讓孩子透過實際操作體驗環保,加深對資源回收的認知」非常認同,今天也上了一課,「原來有一些塑膠不能回收,以後要先選包裝再買東西」。

環保站裡有許多瓶瓶罐罐,其中拆解區是將許多的器具拆解出小零件和塑膠並加以分類。孩子們看到可以拆解玩具感到很開心,三包容潘永政驚呼「可愛的玩具變成可怕的玩具了」;三互愛李雲安了解到「很多物品可以再利用,不需要再買玩具了」;三互愛黃諭暄覺得今天拆了很多的玩具非常高興,但也體悟到「以後都不要買不需要用到的東西」。

愛惜物命 影響全家

三善解白旻勳媽媽分享:「第一次知道原來以前丟了這麼多可以回收的垃圾,很感恩能參加這次的活動,以後要先在家舉手之勞,將垃圾分類清洗整理,不要讓師姑、師伯這麼辛苦」、「旻勳從一年級開始就懂得省水,出門帶環保杯,洗澡時也稍微淋溼就把水關掉,影響了我們全家人」。「幸茜常常利用寒假時間帶著媽媽來做環保,也從小養成愛惜東西的好習慣」三善解王幸茜媽媽幸福地笑著說,我們家只看大愛台,很少買東西,孩子是真正地做到降低購物慾。

父母身教 鼓勵孩子

每次都是一家全員參加親師生志工體驗的三包容王新淩媽媽:「這是很好的機會教育,不僅讓孩子從小落實環保,父母身體力行,身教很重要,常讚美鼓勵孩子,畢竟資源是有限的,我們要留給後代永續生存的空間」。

三包容顏絜儀在感恩卡上寫著:「感恩志工爸爸、媽媽,感恩您幫助我們、教導我們分類物品,我們都是地球的一份子,要共同保存一個乾淨的地球給下一代」。最後,每班贈送兩大張貼滿感恩卡的大愛心,送給師姑師伯們。

懺悔即清淨 發願即有福

臺灣人習慣用塑膠袋,平均每人每天都要用掉兩個以上,年消耗高達180億個,若人人能反思自我、發願從自己的一念善心做起,為地球暖化盡一份心力,將能使得這善的效益再更擴大,進而使環保生活化、家庭化、心靈化,做個珍惜「物命」、也珍惜「生命」的人。
證嚴上人說:「做就對了。」營造環保人生的起點,從我們每個人開始,擴展而外,從家庭到社會,從心靈深處到外在環境,只要用心去做,真心愛護大地,便是有意義的環保人。
