This week the thousands of public elementary, middle, and high school students returned to a clean and spanking learning environment as a result of a successful implementation of the School Pride Project, a pioneering outreach and engagement initiative of Best Sunshine\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe School Pride Project is definitely something that I personally have been very proud of. Education is very important and giving our children a suitable and enjoyable environment is key,\u201d CSR executive director Geri Dela Cruz said. \u201cIt gives me and my team great pleasure in assisting in the continued improvement of our public schools.\u201d <\/p>\n

Thirteen public elementary, middle, and high school campuses on Saipan were served by BSI-CSR \u201cSchool Pride Project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that our students, our hardworking staff, and the community would be proud of CSR\u2019s contribution to our public schools for the new school year,\u201d Dela Cruz added.<\/p>\n

The initiative was launched in middle of July with the intent of assisting the Public School System through the different public school campuses prepare for the new school year. The work ranged from clean up to repainting, repair, and renovation of some structures and facilities.<\/p>\n

Garapan Elementary School principal Leila Yumul has acknowledged the continued support of Best Sunshine to her school. GES is home to the largest public elementary school population in the CNMI.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest Sunshine has just been there to support GES in many ways that I can\u2019t really say everything because there\u2019s too much,\u201d Yumul admits. \u201cThey just lifted a big load off of the school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the major work done by BSI\u2019s CSR team was to repair and rehabilitate GES\u2019 playground system that sat idly after it was rendered unsafe for years.<\/p>\n

For San Vicente Elementary School, the CSR team\u2019s commitment and sustained work is making a big difference in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201c(R)ight now our campus looks very lively after all we went through last year with (typhoon) Soudelor. Your commitment and continued efforts to go out into the community and do a lot of improvement projects is something we really appreciate,\u201d principal Paulette T. Sablan said in appreciation of the work of Best Sunshine\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility team.<\/p>\n

At Koblerville Elementary School, principal Rizalina P. Liwag said the beautification and improvement work was a tremendous help.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really want to express our appreciation to Best Sunshine for working with us in terms of beautification and improvement of our facility by painting the sidewalks and parking stalls,\u201d Liwag separately said.<\/p>\n

William S. Reyes Elementary School is grateful of the similar work done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you CSR team for providing us assistance in preparing for the opening of the new school year. We are grateful for what you have done for us within the time allotted,\u201d said vice principal Marji P. Tarope.<\/p>\n

What was admirable for Tanapag Middle School principal Eric S. Thornburgh was how the voluntary work \u201cwas done with sincerity and dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team worked with sincere smiles on their faces and with very uplifting spirits. Tanapag Middle School commends and thanked Best Sunshine and its CSR team for all their hard work and admirable work ethic,\u201d the school leader separately said.<\/p>\n

Gregorio T. Camacho Elementary School principal Raena Bermudes agrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big \u2018thank you\u2019 to the Best Sunshine team for their partnership in ensuring a clean and safe campus environment for our students. We would not have been able to complete the tasks in time without all of you.\u201d (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
