Bags Full, Brighter Future
As early morning excitement fills the school grounds again, as pupils return to school, it felt different this year. Not just because of the thrill of seeing their friends again, but because of the collective efforts awaiting them. For the hundreds of pupils stepping into the new school year, day one began with an overflowing of blessings. Through the efforts of the new School Head, Mrs. Ma. Theresa C. Remalla, Garita Elementary School gained another stakeholder through Ms. Stephanie Ontengco of Miss Manila Lux. She provided school supplies for all of the students. “Masaya po ako, kasi may nagbigay po sa amin ng gamit sa school”, Zoe Khyte Policarpio, a Grade 1 pupil said as she happily got her school supplies. Each kit contains complete set of notebooks, pencils, crayons, ballpens, writing pads, and even basic geometry set. She did not only give school supplies for the learners, but she also donated electric fans for each classroom. She even provided meals for everyone.
GES Stakeholders Rally Behind a New Year of Learning and Growth Other stakeholders also shared and gave school supplies. Mr. and Mrs.
Montoya-Gabriel, Maria Alessandra Gale G. Jeciel (SELG President) and Matt Elly L. Ramirez (SELG Vice President). They provided school supplies for the Grade 4 to Grade 6 learners. “Malaking tulong po ito sa aming mga magulang, kasi hindi na po kami bibili ng mga gamit nila kasi mayroon na pong nagbigay”, one of the parents said. The school also conducted a nd donation drive during its 72 Foundation Day last school year. This donation drive was able to collect plastic envelopes, pencils, crayons and writing pads for Kindergarten to Grade 3 pupils. The overflowing blessings on the first day of school sets a positive precedent for the coming school year. This gesture does not only provide basic needs but also confidence as GES they start fresh and prepared. With their bags full, the Garita STAKEHOLDERS pupils are now ready to face the school year head on, aiming for a brighter future.
