“The four newly
painted classrooms, called Reading Havens, will be the venues for our
reading program that will be launched this S.Y. 2018-2019,” said RES
Principal Josephine Macawile. “Our students recently took the Philippine
Reading Inventory test. The results showed that 57% of RES pupils need
to improvement on their reading comprehension. We hope to eradicate this
through the said reading program.”
Prior
to the repainting of classrooms, URC also held a project among its
employees, which intended to collect recyclable items that were then
sold to further fund the program.
The
company behind well-known brands like C2, Great Taste, Jack ‘n Jill
Chippy, Piattos, Maxx and Cloud 9 also provided school supplies to the
students whose families have been affected by a recent fire incident.
