To commemorate National Teacher’s Day, SD Islam Nibras Padang organized a collaborative activity titled “Living Healthily by Eating Fruits Blessed by Allah.” Alhamdulillah, all classes participated in the event. This activity aimed to introduce children to various types of fruits that can be prepared into healthy dishes. It also encouraged children who dislike fruits to develop a liking for them by tasting several kinds, including dragon fruit, mango, avocado, orange, watermelon, and strawberry.
