On February 26, 2026, the covered court of Barangay Sta. Teresita, Iriga City became a space for learning, laughter, and meaningful community engagement during Small Steps, Big Dreams, a simultaneous activity for Community Extension Services Day.
Child Development Learners of St. Paul Child Development Center, together with their parents and Child Development Worker Ma’am Eva Boquiron, actively participated in activities designed to promote values formation and holistic development. The event was also supported by Barangay Kagawad Nestor Panton and Deanna Baracena, whose presence highlighted the importance of strong community partnerships.
The learners enjoyed a storytelling session titled “Hermes at ang Tamang Pagtapon ng Basura,” which taught proper waste disposal and environmental responsibility. This was followed by interactive games such as Color Jump, Bring Me, and Stop Dance that encouraged teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship. A demonstration on proper handwashing also reinforced the importance of health and sanitation practices.
The children’s smiles grew even wider as Jollibee Iriga sponsored meals for the kids through Social Work Intern Nathaniel Fragata, reminding everyone how collaboration and generosity can make a difference.
This outreach initiative aimed to strengthen values, develop leadership skills, promote healthy habits, and nurture responsible young learners — proving that small steps today can shape brighter futures tomorrow.
