🥙✨NOURISH TO FLOURISH PROGRAM: Mind and Body in Literacy✨📚

The PNHS Health and Nutririon Unit and Care Center launched its joint program, "Nourish to Flourish: Mind and Body in Literacy," last August 6, 2025 at the PNHS Social Hall. This program is spearheaded by Pangasinan National High School’s brilliant Principal IV, Dr. Mariela N. Calima, in line with School-Based Feeding Program under the DepEd’s OKD.

This program promotes healthy eating which provides positive impact on physical, cognitive and mental health. Healthy eating also promotes optimal physical growth, development and overall well-being.

Further, this program recognizes that proper nutrition is fundamental to optimal development and well-being, as per Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Kick-off highlights:
✨ Invocation by Ms. Pinky Rose Cruz, setting a positive tone
✨ Nurse Jerelle Sison's welcome address, highlighting holistic well-being
✨ Reading session by Ms. Reycelyn Maylas, stimulating young minds
✨ Nutrition message and closing remarks by Sir Clement, emphasizing health's integral role
✨ Nutrition Time, underscoring proper nutrition's importance

The feeding program was conducted by the Self-Help Feeding Committee Coordinator Nurse Jerelle Sison, members Mr. Aldrin Binarao and Mr. Joshua Palaganas, supervised by Administrative Officer Engr. Alberto Zipagan and TLE Head Teacher Mr. Clement Villa.

The students are guided by the reading tutors, Guidance Coordinator Ms. Reycelyn Maylas and Guidance Advocate Ms. Pinky Rose Cruz with the help of Ms. Josefina Tandingan.

By merging literacy and health, we're cultivating holistic growth and development in our students.

🚨 DOH: ‘WAG GUMAMIT NG DOXYCYCLINE NANG WALANG RESETA🚨

Ang doxycycline ay isang antibiotic na ginagamit laban sa Leptospirosis.

Kapag mali ang pag-inom, pwedeng mawalan ito ng bisa laban sa mga mikrobyo at maging mas mahirap gamutin ang simpleng impeksyon. Pwede itong humantong sa matagal o mas matinding pagkakasakit.

Nakadepende ang pag-inom ng doxycycline sa exposure o risk level ng taong nalubog sa baha.

Payo ng DOH, magpatingin sa doktor para sa tamang reseta sa paggamit ng antibiotic na ito.

‼️WAG MAGPALOKO SA V**E AT SIGARILYO‼️

🚭 Maraming masamang epekto ang dala ng paninigarilyo sa ating katawan. Alam nyo ba na ang secondhand smoke, o ang usok galing sa iba na nalanghap mo, maaari pa ring magdulot ng mga malubhang sakit!

Hithit pa? Itigil mo na.
