Nature Nurturers: Green Thumbs of Tomorrow

“To make an end is to make a beginning" - T.S. Eliot

Time has passed so quickly that we barely noticed the school year coming to an end, and before we even realized it, the moments we shared became memories.

We may not have grown as close as we hoped as one club, but in our own ways, we still made a difference—and that is something worth holding onto.

This quote reminds us that this ending is not something to be sad about, but something to cherish. Because every ending is a new beginning, this is where we use the knowledge and lessons we’ve gained to grow even more—striving harder and continuing to care for our environment.

And from here, we carry with us the small steps we’ve taken and our drive to create change as we move forward, stronger, more mindful, and more determined to care for the environment we all call home.

And wherever we go next, may we continue to grow, to care, and to make a difference in our own ways.

This is the Green Thumb Club, S.Y 2025-2026, signing off.💚

✨ IT'S 2026 – HAPPY NEW YEAR GREEN THUMB FAM! ✨

From everyone at Green Thumb – here’s to a year filled with fresh starts, growing dreams, and all the good things life has to offer! Padayon sa paglambo!

As 2025 draws to a close, may we take this time to release the hurts we’ve carried and allow ourselves to grow anew. Let this season remind us that even after the harshest weather, growth is always possible.

Happy Holidays, mga GA! May this vacation be a gentle breeze—refreshing our spirits, nurturing our passions, and leading us to moments filled with peace, laughter, and gratitude.

As we step into the coming year, may we leave behind the weight of yesterday and look forward to the greener days that await us.

With warmth,
The Greenthumb Family 🌱

GATanum | Planting a Greener Tomorrow

UM Ilang High School's SSG (Supreme Student Goverment) and CSO (Council of Student Organizations) officers took part in PMPC's Call for Climate Action: "One Member, One Tree — Upland Tree Planting and Nurturing Program."

Joining the initiative were Greenthumb's President, Ms. Ma. Mikaela M. Gubatina, Feature Writer, Ms. Kathriel Nicole O. Alce, and Ms. Anne Galendez, proudly representing the organization in shaping a greener tomorrow, and a cleaner environment.

A single tree may seem small, but together they form forests that sustain generations. 🌱

Green Day, Clean Way — let’s keep our school fresh every day! 🌱✨

On October 1, as a kind gesture of welcome to a new month—the Supreme Student Government (SSG) along with the Greenthumb started the month with Green Day, ensuring a clean environment. Students and teachers joined hands in tidying up the campus, planting seeds of discipline, and nurturing the value of responsibility.

More than just sweeping and cleaning, Green Day reminded everyone that a healthy school begins with a healthy environment—one that reflects unity, care, and respect for the place we all call our second home.
