SARIAYA, Quezon, June 9 (PIA) -- The SM Foundation (SMF) donated one school building with two classrooms in Gov. Natalio and Susana Enriquez Elementary School in Barangay Sampaloc II to augment the classroom shortage in the town.

“So far we have built 46 school buildings in the entire country and four of these are located in Quezon Province. These school buildings are fully furnished with chairs, tables, blackboard and with own comfort rooms and electric fans which are comfortable for learning," said Carmen Linda Atayde, SMF executive director for education.

Atayde added that, since this school year is the beginning of the implementation of K+12 program, the SMF will continue to support the government by providing more school buildings.

She encouraged students to study hard and apply at the SM college scholarship program.

Meanwhile, DepEd provincial schools division superintendent Tolentino Aquino said that the project of SMF is a sign of good partnership of government and private institution in providing quality education to the countryside. (PIA 3, Quezon)
