the Department of Education in support of the agency’s blended learning program for the new academic year. Here are the highlights of the partnership:

 MILO Sports Manager Lester P. Castillo and PJRA President Noel Agra handed out the first 200 jump ropes to Mandaluyong Elementary School (MES), represented by DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali and MES Principal Elvie Canilao.
The first batch of jump ropes will be received by the Grade Six students of MES.
PJRA will provide PE faculty members the foundational training for teaching jump rope to students. Lessons on the sport will be integrated to the Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) curriculum.
Video lessons and exercises from MILO and PJRA will be available on the DepEd Learning COMMONS.
The pilot run of the initiative is slated to run from October to December, including a mini virtual interschool competition among the three schools who will be receiving the first batch of jump ropes. In the succeeding months, the program is geared for a bigger roll out to reach more children nationwide.
The turnover of the equipment is an expansion of MILO’s online sports program, the MILO Home Court campaign that aims to empower parents to continue their kids’ champion journeys at home.
