 From the PCC and PTA Office:

March in UNITY and show your support for the typhoon victims. Buy a PCC shirt and wear it in
the parade. All donations & proceeds from the shirt and food sales will go to the ISM Disaster
Fund & the Papaya Academy.

PCC shirts will be sold in front of the canteen during lunch break and after school.

Please donate your glossy magazines to PCF!

WHY?
Glossy Magazines cannot be pulped and recycled like regular clean paper here in Manila so if you don’t ensure that they’re made into
something else… they just end up in a land fill.
WHAT does PCF do with them?
Parents of the school children are employed to make beads out of them which, in turn, get made into jewellery and bags.
HOW does this help families?
The money from the products generates income for them so that they can afford to buy food and clothes for their children.
WHERE?
Collection boxes can be found in ES, MS and HS offices

Thank you for your support!

"Dream the world you want and deserve to live in.
Write it down. Communicate your vision passionately,
as if your life depended upon it!"
