BUKIDNON — Strengthening the foundation of learning through shared responsibility and partnership, the Adopt-A-School Program’s (ASP) Book Turnover was successfully conducted across several public elementary schools in Bukidnon, bringing vital learning resources directly to young learners.
Through the generous donation of educational books from Dole Philippines – Stanfilco Division, facilitated by Kasilak Development Foundation, Inc. (KDFI), sets of supplementary reading and instructional materials were formally handed over to four key partner schools:
- Valbueco Elementary School — Municipality of Lantapan
- Casisang Central School and Kalasungay Elementary School — Malaybalay City
- Laruk Elementary School — Municipality of Sumilao
- La Fortuna Elementary School — Municipality of Impasug-ong
Advancing Quality Education in Rural Communities
The turnover activities were marked by simple yet meaningful ceremonies attended by school administrators, teachers, and representatives from partner institutions. The donated books are expected to significantly support daily classroom instruction, boost pupil literacy, and enhance the overall learning experience.
“Together, through collaboration and compassion, we continue to invest in the future—one book, one school, and one learner at a time.”
