Students and non-teaching personnel from various schools in Ilocos Norte joined the global Earth Day celebration on Wednesday, organizing a series of activities to promote environmental awareness and sustainability.<\/p>\n
At the Salanap Elementary School in Pinili town, school principal Aileen Rambaud encouraged the learners to sustain the school\u2019s \u201cgreen pride.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery month, we come together to keep our school and surroundings clean, safe, and beautiful,\u201d she said in an interview on Wednesday, adding that they also have a tree-growing and gardening program in the school compound, along with a vermicomposting facility to sustain their plants, mainly fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the school has been producing vermicast (organic fertilizer) not only to sustain its growing school garden but also for sale to outsiders to promote healthy soil.<\/p>\n
Other schools in the province are also celebrating Earth Day, organizing activities, such as clean-up drives and waste management promotion throughout the day.<\/p>\n
Organizers said school non-teaching personnel were mobilized to observe the celebration in support of the Department of Education\u2019s key initiatives, such as community immersion and environmental engagement.<\/p>\n
Through this initiative, public schools in the province reaffirm their dedication to environmental stewardship, inspiring students to become responsible citizens and proactive advocates for a healthy planet. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
