MDPSians celebrated July as Nutrition Month with the theme “Sa Wastong Nutrisyon ni Mommy, Siguradong Healthy si Baby”. A food exhibit and symposiums were held as a part of the event.
Mr. Palma of the Marikina City Health Office talked about dengue awareness last July 14, 2008 at the Mother Alessandra Sala Hall (MASH). He discussed the facts on dengue-carrying mosquitoes.
Another health awareness symposium was done last July 18 by the Student Health Care Office. School Physician Dr. Lorma Jeanne Dela Cruz, MD welcomed the students with her warm greetings. School Nurse, Ms. Milagros C. Guanio, RN, explained that “The greatest love of all is to love yourself.” She gave points and tips on how to have a healthier life.
The main event was the Food Exhibit at the Tanghalang Zaccaria. High School students from each level prepared nutritious foods according to different categories. These were assigned by their Technology and Living Education (TLE) teacher Mrs. Rose Manipor. The Homemakers Club also joined in the event. The foods were displayed and tasted by the teachers and students as well.
