- Baseball teams in Bayanan and Sucat have been organized with 52 and 42 players, respectively, and now attend regular practice sessions and participate in tournaments;
- 137 Kinder teachers of all 20 Muntinlupa public schools participated in a webinar to improve their story telling skills;
- 97 teachers have learned to integrate sustainability in their lesson plans and 12 of them demonstrated their teaching skills with flying colors; and
- 200 class advisers have gained knowledge and skills on mental health facilitation to support their students’ needs.
In response, SDS Sedilla expressed her sincere appreciation for the Foundation’s unwavering support to DepEd-Muntinlupa for the last 12 years. Further, she said that “Hopefully, the remaining eight public elementary schools of Muntinlupa would also be part of PTC-CSJ’s programs in the near future.”
