It was an enjoyable afternoon at SM as tots of the Nazareth Institute showcased their talents in acting, singing and dancing in their favorite fairytale costumes. There were 97 participants, 27 of whom are scholars of the school. These indigents are given free education, learning materials, books and even uniforms in line with the school's thrust to provide quality education to everyone, including the less fortunate but deserving students.
