FRESH MILK in TPES- School-Based Feeding Program
Diana B. Quitay
In order to intensify health and Nutrition among our learners. Timoteo Paez Elementary School, launched its yearly School -Based Feeding Program spearheaded by our Principal Mrs. Glenda D. Tabaquirao together with our School Feeding Coordinator Mrs. Diana B. Quitay,Feeding Committee and School Nurse last November 17, 2020 for Milk Component good for 20 days.
School – Based Feeding Program is to help severely wasted, wasted, severely stunted and stunted students to increase their Nutritional Status. Because of the Pandemic COVID-19, there is no face to face feeding program. The Department of Education still continues the program to help our learners. On the previous year’s school served nutritious and delicious hot meal for the feeding beneficiaries, but this school year 2020-2021 we gave them fresh milk and nutritious packs in substitute to hot meals.
In preparation for the new feeding program TPES held an orientation on this. Parents’ orientation was conducted last September 03,2020. It starts with the registration of the parents done through google form online because it is impossible for the parents to meet in person. There are 252 (60.87%) parents who attended the said orientation and 162 (39.13%) contacted them thru SMS with the help of their advisers. We discuss the new set up and feeding procedure in claiming the milk.
On the first day of MILK COMPONENT FEEDING DISTRBIBUTION, parents should go first to nurse Joka’s booth for MILK COMPONENT/PARENT’S CONSENT FORM, then beside the booth is the master list of milk beneficiaries arrange per grade level to know the number of beneficiaries so it will be easily to the distributor on checking the names for attendance. Of course they should present the ID’s of the learners or any roof of the beneficiaries in claiming the milk. Beneficiaries our happy to claim their FRESH MILK.
