"Survival of the fittest (not to be taken literally or in a discriminatory way)" - congrats to ALL of us

As a reminder, this week started off the Pusong Pinoy Book Drive, hosted jointly by Diversity Club, HOPE Club, and START (art) Club...bring in young-adult new/used books to your house's labeled box (design them if you care to make the boxes more visible/awesomely-aesthetic), cause the senior house that wins will win a HOUSE POINT and if that house wins the school wide competition, it shall win a choice of either a PIZZA OR ICE CREAM PARTY!  Drive shall run till February 19.
