As such, it shall continue the implementation of the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) for this school year to address hunger and encourage learners to enroll, contribute to the improvement of their nutritional status, provide nourishment for their growth and development and help boost their immune system and enhance and improve their health and nutrition value.

DENTAL PROGRAM

Oral disease continues to be a serious public health problem in the Philippines. The prevalence of dental caries on permanent teeth has generally remained above 90% throughout the years. About 92.4% of Filipinos have tooth decay (dental caries) and 78% have gum diseases (periodontal diseases) (DOH, NMEDS 1998). Although preventable, these diseases affect almost every Filipino at one point or another in his or her lifetime.

With this, Malummin Elementary School addresses the oral disease through dental check ups performed by Henrietta P. Cubero, Division Dentist and Alma Guzman -Division Nurse. This move aims to attain positive oral health among the learners. A sound body must have teeth that are healthy!
