Every year, the month of July is being celebrated by the entire Dep.Ed family as Nutrition Month. This year, the theme of the celebration was “ Timbang Iwasto sa Tamang Nutrisyon at Ehersisyo.”

This year’s celebration focused mainly on increasing the weight of the children by giving them proper nutrition.

In support of this celebration, Sangley Elementary School undertook meaningful activities which highlighted the importance of good health and nutrition among the entire school populace.

A bulletin board display depicting the theme was put up. An opening program was held attended by all the pupils from pre-elem to Grade VI. Mrs. Rodina E. Rasing,the over-all in-charge of the celebration gave the message on the importance of eating nutritious food and having a healthy lifestyle.

Also a part of the celebration was the supplementary feeding sponsored by Bagong Ilaw Lodge-97. This was made possible through the effort of WB Caliph Q. Dagpin – Worshipful Master and Commander Gary B. Bataican abd his wife Mrs. Virgie D. Bataican and the members of the Mason family.

Every week, there were invited resource speakers to give lecture to the pupils on the importance of having a good health through eating the right food. We are very fortunate to have them in our school as part of the celebration – Mrs. Ellen Gillo; a nutrionist of the Naval Base Cavite and Dr. Jocelyn Alix, a resident dentist of the Philippine Air Force.

Tree and vegetable planting was also conducted spearheaded by the IA/EA teacher, Mr. Louie G. Vergara.

Through the concerted effort of the principal – Mrs. Rosario M. Panganiban, teachers, parents and pupils, the Nutrition Month celebration in Sangley Elementary was successful.
