BRIGADA ESKWELA 2019

              Bolaoen Elementary School held National School Maintenance Week, otherwise known as BRIGADA ESKWELA, on May 20-May 25, 2019 with a theme Matatag na Bayan Para sa Maunlad na Paaralan. It aims to bring together all education stakeholders to participate and contribute their time, effort, and resources to prepare public school facilities for the opening of the school year in June.

            This week-long event fostered Bayanihan spirit among the parents, PTA Officials , barangay council officials and teachers of Bolaoen Elementary School. This activity aimed to encourage parents , barangay officials and  LGU and even NGO’s  to share their time to clean the surroundings do minor repairs of school facilities and equipment to prepare the school for the opening of the school year 2019-2020.

            On the first day of Brigada, everyone cleaned the classroom inside and outside

by sweeping and dusting. We asked our volunteers to fix our broken doors, hang the curtains and started to clean the garden. On the second day all of our instructional materials were fixed and repaired. The third day and fourth day was spent on repainting our tables and chairs and on the fifth day we focused on gardening and cleaning outside our classrooms. The sixth day was spent on classroom structuring.

            Every one worked together in cleaning the school ground and garden, repairing and repainting of chairs, desk, windows, doors, comfort rooms, tables, landscaping/masonry work and trimming of trees.  Once again the spirit of vounteerism among Filipinos was strengthened through this event. Brigada Eskwela is a proof that an effective partnership between the government and citizens is possible.
