The PTC-CSJ Foundation, in partnership with Synergeia Foundation, successfully completed the remaining activities for its Growing to Great Kids (3G) Program with Bayanan Elementary School-Main (BESM) and Lakeview Elementary School (LES) during the final months of 2015.
In September, almost 200 parents of Grade 1 pupils participated in specialized sessions on Proper Nutrition and Hygiene with Dr. Rey Aquino. This initiative was designed to complement the Foundation's ongoing feeding programs for malnourished students, ensuring health support continues at home.

Educators also received critical support through two training programs held at the Ateneo Professional Schools in Makati City. All teachers from the partner schools attended “Rekindling the Joy of Teaching,” while Kinder to Grade 2 teachers participated in an intensive session on “Effective Teaching of Reading.”
