Fostering Environmental Responsibility: San Juan City Science High School's Tree Planting Success

In accordance with DepEd Memo No. 069, s. 2023, which is also known as Guidelines on the Implementation of the Project - "DepEd's 236,000 Trees - A Christmas Gift for the Children", San Juan City Science High School has participated in this nationwide tree planting activity. In a harmonious effort to give back to nature and foster environmental awareness, under the esteemed leadership of the School Head, Dr. Jonas Feliciano C. Domingo, YES-O, SSLG, Cyberwhiz Club, BSP and GSP, together with dedicated teaching and non-teaching personnel, this initiative promoted a sense of responsibility and care for the planet, setting roots for a greener future.

Before planting, a program was conducted with greetings and brief orientation on the significance of tree planting headed by the OIC In-charge Mr. Christian A. de Guzman. He stressed in his opening remarks that the collective efforts showcased a holistic approach to education, emphasizing not only academic excellence but also a deep-rooted commitment to environmental responsibility.

Also, this initiative provided a rich learning experience for students. It bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, reinforcing classroom teachings about the crucial role of trees in ecological balance. It was a hands-on lesson that left an indelible mark on the students' understanding of environmental issues, fostering a sense of stewardship and a profound respect for nature.

The accomplishments achieved through this tree planting activity set a high standard for future endeavors at San Juan City Science High School. It established a foundation for ongoing community engagement, laying the groundwork for sustained efforts towards environmental conservation.
