Sa PPAN: Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat! A Culmination Day full of Fun, Food, and Community Spirit.
What a morning it was yesterday, July 23, 2025, here at Bandera ES! The energy was absolutely buzzing as we kicked off our Nutrition Month Culmination Activity. Our school grounds were alive with parents, students, teachers, and stakeholders all gathered to celebrate healthy living.
The day started bright and early with a short program. Our very own Principal I, Bethuel L. Majorenos, took the stage to introduce a new face to the Bandera ES faculty: Christian Mark Silawan, Project Development Officer I. Sir Christian, who is also our new focal person for Nutrition Month, shared some insightful words about our "Gulayan sa Paaralan" program and emphasized the vital importance of nutritious foods.
We were also honored to have a message of support from Hon. Sandy Gonato, our proactive Barangay Captain, who was there with his active kagawads. Their presence truly highlighted the strong community backing for our initiatives.
Then, the real fun began! The table display competition brought out so much creativity. Huge congratulations to our winners: Kinder took home the championship, Grade 1 snagged 2nd place, and Grade 6 secured 3rd. The poster-making contest also showcased amazing talent, with Grade 4 winning Category A, followed by Grade 5 and Grade 6. For Category B, Grade 3 swept both top spots! And for the bright minds in the quiz bee, Grade 6 emerged as champions, with Grade 5 taking 2nd and 3rd place.
The school was just bursting with happiness and laughter throughout the day. We even had a mini-market where nutritious vegetables were sold, a great way to encourage healthy eating habits!
A big thank you goes out to the office of City Councilor Hon. Aldwin Jumao-as of Kaputian District for sponsoring a delightful "lugaw" feeding program for our students. It was a wonderful treat for the kids! We are also incredibly grateful to the City Agriculture Office of LGU Samal for providing seeds, which were used as prizes for our winners and participants.
This event truly was a testament to amazing collaboration โ a perfect blend of school, parents, and community working together for the well-being of our students. What a fulfilling way to wrap up Nutrition Month! Truly, Sa PPAN: Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat!
