ROSALES, Pangasinan, June 27 (PNA)--SM City Rosales spearheaded by its Human Resource department conducted an “Adopt-A-School” project at the Puelay Elementary School in Villasis town.

The HR Department initiated a book drive, as highlight of the ‘Adopt-A-School’ project by encouraging its employees to donate books – from story books to subject books in line with its objective to create a public elementary school that is organized and conducive to learning.

The books collected for a month were given to over 150 students of Puelay Elementary School. They were also given school supplies.

SM City Rosales employees also conducted a clean-up drive.

“This activity was conducted to acknowledge the importance of education to young ones,” SM Rosales Assistant Mall Manager Catherine Garcia said.
