TPES’ celebration of Nutrition Month 2019 finally ended last July 31 at TPES covered court. The monthlong celebration aimed to spread the message about the value of preparing healthy meals, the avoidance of food wastage, and the awareness on making food safety as part of our everyday routine.
This year, our learners engaged in various school activities in relation to Nutrition Month. We are lucky that Shakey’s Pizza Parlor became one of our sponsors and gave additional activities that made our learners enjoy their “Pizza Making” activity more.
The winners in different contests were awarded during the closing ceremony. These include the A-1 Child for Kindergarten; Headdress Contest for Kindergarten to Grade Three; Slogan Contest for Grade One to Three; Poster Making Contest for Grade Four to Six; Jingle Rap Contest for Grade Three to Six; and the Cooking Contest and Pizza Making. The Cooking Contest remains to be our highlight activity because the contestants were given three categories namely: Cooked Indigenous Vegetable; Fresh indigenous and Foreign Vegetable (Salad); and One-Dish Meal. The winning recipes in this contest also served as the dish to be added in the menu for our School-Based Feeding Program.
Mrs. Adalia A. Gaila, Master Teacher I and SBFP Coordinator closed the program by giving a remarkable closing message to advise everyone that preparing and eating healthy foods is a must. She also reiterated that the health of our learners reflects not only the whole school but the whole community where they reside as well.
