VIA GRAPHIC PLUS — As students prepare for the opening of School Year 2026–2027, Kayquit Elementary School has received a meaningful gift from one of its distinguished alumni. Numeriano B. Rodrin, President of Eternal Gardens and a member of Batch ’65, donated 75 new classroom chairs to help provide a more comfortable and conducive learning environment for the school’s learners.
Rodrin, who spent his formative years at Kayquit Elementary School before building a successful career in business, said the initiative was his way of expressing gratitude to the institution that helped shape his future.
“This school played an important role in my life and in the person I have become. Through this donation, I simply want to give back and help provide our students with a better learning environment as they begin another school year. Education remains one of the greatest investments we can make for the future, and I hope this small contribution will inspire our young learners to pursue their dreams and make the most of every opportunity given to them,” Rodrin said.
In a Facebook post on its official page, the school expressed its heartfelt gratitude to Rodrin and the KES Alumni Association for their generosity and continued support. According to the school, the donation will help create a more conducive learning environment and provide students with greater comfort as they begin the new academic year.
The school also emphasized that the gesture reflects the strong bond between Kayquit Elementary School and its alumni, whose continued involvement helps strengthen the institution and create opportunities for future generations of Batang Kayquiteño. Through acts of generosity such as this, alumni not only give back to their alma mater but also inspire others in the community to contribute to the growth and development of the school.
