There was an air of cheer as
Jawili Integrated School pupils and students started the day with the flag
ceremony and raised their hands as they pledged to keep their hands clean and
spread awareness on the importance of proper handwashing.
Various
contests were held for learners to showcase their talents and their knowledge
and expertise on proper handwashing. There were slogan, essay writing, and poem
writing contests in three languages – English, Filipino, and Akeanon. For the
creative artists, there was a Hand Art Contest for kindergarten pupils, Drawing
Contest for grades 1-3 pupils, and Poster Making for grades 4-6 and grades
7-10. Their arts were displayed on a wall for others to see and admire.
Then,
the learners formed their lines toward a clean and bright future as they look
at their hands, washed their hands with soap and water, and smiled as they show
off their clean hands. Members of the Philippine National Police also joined in
the celebration and washed their hands with the learners and the teachers.
Indeed, handwashing is for
everybody and we, at Jawili Integrated School, raise our hands for hygiene!
