Parent Teacher Association president Wayne Pangelinan said these donors helped put in money for the school’s new walkway, pathway lights, a gate, and flagpole, among others.
They have also helped with repairing a dysfunctional bathroom, which is ongoing, he said.
Mobil Chalan Kiya and Mobil Kagman had donated $500, he said.
Rep. Edmund Villagomez (Ind-Saipan) donated $500 as well.
The Pacific Island Club Saipan, Island Training Solutions, Island Rent-a-Car, IT&E, and Moylan’s Insurance, among several others, contributed $200.
An Islands Training Solutions representative at the ceremony said their donations are “to support the school.” “If somebody asks for a donation, then Mr. Arenovski [Island Training Solutions sole proprietor] is very generous of that, because he supports the island and everything going on in the island,” she said.
“We feel the students are important. We feel that learning is also important, and we give to the school to help support it in its goal in whatever the school would need the money for. It’s always a pleasure. It melts the heart, when we do things like this,” said a Mobil representative.
The donors were part of PTA’s successful Canary Walkathon recently.
Pangelinan said they are looking to hold another event, this time for parents and adults only. He said this comedy night and dinner is planned for June.
He said PTA has been working very hard to get these school projects done.
