Assumption High School joins the iamninoy Campaign

The Basic Education Division of the Assumption College High School is having their first Inter-Disciplinary Learning Fair on September 30, 2008 at the San Lorenzo Village campus in Makati City. The theme for this noteworthy event is ACBayan: A Celebration of Local and Global Communities.

In a bid to make nationalism more relevant and meaningful to today’s youth, the Social Studies Department has partnered with the Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. Foundation to promote Ninoy Aquino’s values, beliefs and legacy through the iamninoy campaign.

One of the notable activities is the living museum conceptualized and created by Assumption students to showcase modern-day heroes who exemplify the principles of Ninoy. Students will be asked to demonstrate and explain how the contributions of their chosen hero can lead to a better Philippines.

The highlight of the event is a talk by Mr. Lino Rivera, Executive Director of the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Center for Leadership, to share his thoughts on Ninoy’s legacy as well as to expound on the iamninoy campaign and the advocacy it represents.

A booth will be set up to promote iamninoy retail merchandise and present the various organizations that are the beneficiaries of the yearlong project.
