July is usually observed as the nutrition month by every school in our division. This year's theme is "Gutom at malnutrisyon, sama-sama nating wakasan!" focuses on "the need for concerted multi-stakeholder actions to reduce hunger and malnutrition" as pointed out by the National Nutrition Council (NNC).

This is stressed on NNC website, that reads in part: "The NM 2013 focus on hunger is part of the Philippines' commitment to the UN Millenium Development Goal particularly Goal 1 which is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, specifically to reduce by half of the underweight-for-age under-fives from 27.3% in 1990 to 13.7% in 2015 and reduce by half the percentage of households with inadequate dietary energy intake from 74.2% in 1993 to 37.1% in 2015. While malnutrition prevalence is declining, it is considered at a slow pace with the prevalence of underweight-for-age among preschoolers at 20.2% in 2011"

At School level

Our school culminated its nutrition month celebration by saganang lutuan in the morning and coronation of Mister and Miss Nutrition 2013.

Cooking Wares and Utensils

With the Php 50,000.00 as School-Based Management (SBM) grant received by the school for this year, Twenty Thousand Pesos (Ph 20,000.00) of this were alloted for the feeding program of the pupils. External stakeholders like the parents, guardians and the officers of PTA conducted fund raising campaign to augment this budget through a search for Mister and Miss Nutrition Month. They were able to raise Fourteen Thousand Pesos (Php 14,000.00) of which a part of this was used to purchase cooking wares and utensils.

At the culmination day, in the morning the pupils had their cooking activities. They cooked the common vegetables found in the garden, in their orchard, and in the community. On the first day, they paraded within the vicinity of the school wearing a headdress of their favorite leafy and fruit vegetables.
