The Nutrition Month is an annual campaign held every July, as mandated by PD 491, also known as the Nutrition Act of the Philippines. Such aims to create greater awareness among Filipinos on the importance of nutrition.
Sto. Niño Elementary School spearheads the celebration of the Nutrition Month with the theme “Kumain nang wasto at maging aktibo… push natin ‘to.” The objectives of this year’s theme are: consuming fewer calories, getting daily exercise and making informed food choices.
In line with this year’s theme, Sto. Niño ES lead by Ma’am Marissa Alfabete prepared several interesting activities. Topping the list is the Poster and Slogan making held on July 8, 2019. Another activity was the Nutriquiz bee held on July 9, 2019. Other activitities were Cookfest, Essay Writing, Food Display and Culminating Program on July 19, 2019.
The Program in the school was successful. New talents had been discovered. Evidently the real essence of good nutrition had been manifested in the actual performance and exercises of talents of pupils.
