Ivana Elementary benefactors come to school's aid

The Ivana Elementary School is fortunate to have a wealth of generous benefactors, as well as persuasive and effective school officials who untiringly look for donors to fulfil the school's needs.

Due to financial constraints, the school has turned to donors to meet the numerous needs of the school. Generous alumni of the school willingly answered the call of their alma mater.

Donors for the school year 1999-2000 include: Mr. Juan A. Barsana, Jr. - image of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the school grotto; ABC President Joaquin E. Castano III- ceiling electric fan for grade III, bags of cement for a retaining wall, registration fees for Kabs, Kiddies, Twinklers, Star Junior Scouts under going regular community service, particularly in Barangay Tuhel; Dr. Kenneth E. Castano- volleyball; Engr. Alexander C. Gabilo - volleyball; Ms. Mildred E. Adalla - school camera; and Mr. Frederick A. Esdicul - volleyball and volleyball net.

More donors have pledged to give their share in the near future while some donors have requested to remain anonymous. From DECS-Batanes Newsletter (Vol. 1, No. 3 October-December 1999)
