REPORT ON YES – O ACTIVITIES

The Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES –O) was

established to increase global concerns for environmental action against threats

to Mother Earth and to consolidate all in safeguarding, protecting, and conserving

the environment. To achieve this goal, our school have also take part in

implementing the activities of YES – O.

One of the activities conducted

was the fumigation or fogging which

was done last August, 2011. It was

done with the collaboration from the

barangay to prevent the spread of

dengue and to drive away mosquitoes

and other insects which can cause

diseases.

Another activity held last October 28, 2011, was the school-based seminar

on “DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT”

which was spearheaded by Councilor Felix Santos. He talked on how we can

maintain our school clean and he also suggested some ways to address some of

the problems on waste in our school to reduce the risk especially during disasters

or calamities.

In connection with the Science Fair, we had also conducted the G. and

Bb. Kalikasan in our school which was participated by the Grades IV to VI

students. It was conducted last September 15, 2011. Here, the participants were

required to dress in their recycled attire to show how innovative they are and to

let the audience realize that discarded materials can still be of good use.

The Canteen Manager, Mrs. Averny Tumambing had also take part in

implementing the no – to – plastic campaign to reduce wastes from plastic

materials. In this way, we can help our ozone layer from being depleted.

with the help of their EPP teacher, Mr. Ernesto Santos which was conducted last

______________________. Planting is an act of putting down roots and

contributing to the future. The simple act of planting a tree helps the environment

in so many ways like : it filters pollution from the air, prevent soil loss, make food

for humans and animals, provide an interesting, soothing, learning environment

for children and much more! Without trees, there would be no life on this planet.
