24th ROTARACT INTERACT SPORTFEST

The School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies students conquered other participating Rotaract and Interact Clubs as they were awarded 2nd Place in the Cheer Dance Competition during the 24th Rotaract /Interact Sportsfest organized by the Rotary Club of University District – Manila in Rizal Memorial Sports Complex last February 28.


The said event was organized as an advocacy for teenagers to love sports and uplift health consciousness in the spirit of friendly competition.


Rotary Club President Mr. Romeo Batino affirmed during his opening message for the youth athletes that camaraderie partnered by healthy living should be highly valued. The Intramural Games is one way through which the Rotary extends its support to the outreach programs within the community.


This Sports Fest was opened by a parade of waving banners and flying balloons while the representing athletes from Interact (High School) and Rotaract (College) proudly displayed their respective school colors. The steady heat of the Sunday sun was no match for the enthusiasm of the Deaf participants as they gamely joined one sports event after the other capped with an awarding ceremony. Even against tough competitors, SDEAS students also clinched one of the main games in the afternoon and placed 3rd in the Tug of War.


The 24th Rotaract/Interact Sportsfest was sponsored by PP Jolly Ting, Boysen Paint, PAGCOR, and Rtn. Tama Ng
