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.
Lastly, the YES-O officers and members conducted a tree planting activity
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.
