Tantangan National High School recently celebrated Nutrition Month with three exciting events: Nutri-Cooking, Nutri-Jingle, and Nutri-Quiz. Students from all grades joined in to learn about healthy eating while showing off their cooking, singing, and quiz skills. The theme, "FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY MAKE IT A PRIORITY; SUFFICIENT FOOD IS OUR RIGHT," encouraged everyone to think about how food choices affect their health and energy.

At the Nutri-Cooking contest, teams made healthy meals using fresh ingredients like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Teachers judged the dishes based on taste, creativity, and nutrition. Though the grade 11 curriculum was declared champion, students loved sharing their recipes and tasting each other’s creations. Meanwhile, the Nutri-Jingle contest filled the school with music as groups performed catchy songs about eating balanced meals and drinking enough water. The crowd clapped and cheered, and the grade 10 curriculum won as having the best jingle of all grades.

The final event, Nutri-Quiz, tested students’ knowledge about food groups, vitamins, and avoiding junk food. Participants answered quick questions, and scores are being counted to find the top teams. “The goal isn’t just to compete. It’s to remind everyone that eating right should be part of our daily lives.”

Various student organizations officially launched their club activities for the school year, highlighting advocacy-centered programs and skill-building opportunities aimed at enhancing student involvement, leadership, and community awareness.

The Robotics Club began its campaign to promote innovation and critical thinking through robot-building and exposure to new technologies. Club officers said their goal is to inspire future engineers and tech leaders by giving students hands-on experiences with mechanical design and programming.

Environmental advocacy took center stage as the YES-O (Youth for Environment in Schools Organization) led initiatives focusing on school cleanliness, environmental protection, and conservation awareness. Activities such as clean-up drives and classroom awareness talks are scheduled throughout the year to support the Department of Education’s eco-friendly school campaign.

Meanwhile, the Technolympics Club showcased its commitment to life skills training by introducing workshops in cooking, baking, table skirting, napkin folding, as well as basic editing and computer skills. The club aims to provide members with practical knowledge applicable both at home and in future careers.

On the safety and preparedness front, the SWT (Student-led Watching Team) continues to serve as the school’s frontline in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) efforts. The club will conduct emergency drills, safety inspections, and disaster awareness seminars to prepare the campus for possible emergencies.

The Kapisanan ng mga Mag-aaral sa Filipino (KAMFIL) launched language-focused activities to promote the use and appreciation of Filipino language and culture. With events like “Buwan ng Wika,” poetry contests, and essay writing, the club seeks to encourage students to actively engage in preserving national identity.

The Math Club, although still finalizing its full-year plan, remains committed to strengthening students' logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Club leaders hinted at upcoming math quizzes, puzzle contests, and review sessions for math-related competitions.

The Performing Arts Club aims to nurture student creativity and talent through dance, music, acting, and stage performance. Rehearsals are underway for a school-wide talent show and musical presentation set later this semester.

For students with a passion for sports, the Sports Club kicked off its programs with an emphasis on skill development, intramural game facilitation, and building teamwork through athletics. Training sessions and inter-section tournaments are being prepared to keep students active and engaged.

Lastly, the BKD (Barkada Kontra Droga) renewed its campaign for drug awareness and prevention. Focusing on the challenges of adolescence, the club promotes peer-led discussions and activities that aim to educate and support students in making healthy, drug-free choices. It also works to build a strong barkada-samahan that values friendship and safety.

Club advisers and student leaders expressed optimism that these programs will contribute to a more inclusive, empowered, and proactive school community.
