Project ARON was first implemented in SY 2015-2016, it is a continuous improvement project of the Lagro High School Mathematics Department conceptualized to help students improve their numeracy skills, operation skills, mastery of the four fundamental operations and achieving better academic performance in Mathematics.

Mr. Jerico Ifurung, a Mathematics teacher and one of the contributors to the project said in an online interview that the project is really helpful especially to those students who have Math anxiety and have a Waterloo on the subject.

“They will be guided to master the basic concepts of Math when it comes to arithmetic which is vital throughout their learning until college." he stated.

Former LHS Principal Dr. Maria Noemi Moncada commended Mrs. Acidera for a job well done, “Congratulations! Magaling talaga yang inaanak ko, just a proud Ninang here”.

Quezon City Mrs. Heidee Ferrer also praised Mrs. Acidera on a Facebook post made by Mrs. Nora Vergara.

This is the 3rd time that Project ARON was awarded by the Schools Division Office of Quezon City since it was implemented.

I feel really grateful sa support na binigay sakin ng classmates, family and other friends and relatives ko na naging contributing factor din ng pagkapanalo ko. I am indeed blessed with all the people around me that always give me the best support," Amba added.
