In the spirit of unity and cooperation, Malvar Senior High School welcomed the academic year 2023-2024 with the annual Brigada Eskwela from August 14 to 19, 2023. Under the theme "Bayanihan para sa Matatag na Paaralan," the school community rallied together to prepare the campus for the upcoming school year through a series of activities.
The event commenced with the District Kickoff Ceremony on August 14, where representatives from various schools in the district gathered to mark the beginning of Brigada Eskwela. The ceremony served as a reminder of the collective effort required to create an ideal learning environment for the students.
From August 14 to 16, the school grounds and the surrounding areas received a thorough cleaning, enhancing the overall aesthetics and safety of the campus. Volunteers worked to beautify the school's exterior through its School in a Garden (SIGA) and gulayan sa paaralan and to showcase their commitment to a holistic and environmentally-conscious educational setting. The school-based kickoff ceremony on August 15 further emphasized the importance of a well-maintained school environment.
Moving forward to August 17, 18, and 19, the focus shifted indoors as the community came together to revamp the classrooms. Cleaning efforts were extended to the classrooms, accompanied by repairs to ceilings, doors, door knobs, and windows, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for both teachers and students. The repainting of grills and walls added a fresh touch to the surroundings, while the cleaning and repair of armchairs contributed to more comfortable seating arrangements.
Brigada Eskwela 2023-2024 was more than just a series of tasks; it was an embodiment of the Bayanihan spirit that has been deeply ingrained in Filipino culture. The event not only aimed to improve the physical infrastructure of the school but also served as a reminder that collective efforts can make a significant impact on the quality of education.
A significant part of the event was the "Signing of Pledge of Commitment" on the final day, where teachers, students, parents, and volunteers came together to reaffirm their dedication to maintaining the improvements and upholding the values of unity and cooperation.
Also, highlighting the profound impact of community involvement, volunteers and stakeholders generously donated both cash and in-kind contributions. These contributions not only reflected their dedication to the school's betterment but also demonstrated the strong ties between the school and its supporters.
This year’s Brigada Eskwela set a strong foundation for the academic year ahead, fostering a sense of pride and ownership among all stakeholders. The school community's dedication to ensuring a conducive and inspiring learning environment showcased the true essence of Bayanihan, leaving a lasting impact on both the physical campus and the hearts of those involved.
