As we observe Araw ng Kalayaan this June 12, let us all be reminded that this is more than a holiday—it is a commemoration of the courage, sacrifice, and unity that led to our nation’s independence.

This day marks a turning point in Philippine history. It is a moment to reflect on the struggles of those who came before us and to appreciate the freedoms we now enjoy. It is also a reminder that freedom is not just a gift—it is a responsibility we all share.

Let us honor this day with respect and thoughtfulness. Whether through a moment of silence, the display of our national flag, or simply remembering our history, may we carry forward the spirit of independence in how we live, learn, and serve.

Mabuhay ang Kalayaan. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.

As the new school year draws near, our school proudly joins the nationwide call for unity and volunteerism through Brigada Eskwela 2025—the Department of Education’s annual campaign that rallies communities to prepare schools for opening day. This year’s campaign carries not just a theme, but a mission: to build a stronger, safer, and more supportive learning environment for every Filipino learner.

Brigada Eskwela is more than just a clean-up drive. It is a celebration of the Filipino spirit of Bayanihan, where teachers, parents, alumni, students, barangay leaders, and local partners come together to offer their time, talents, and resources for the benefit of all learners.

The school will hold its Brigada Eskwela activities from June 9 to June 13, 2025, with a focus on preparing classrooms, restoring learning spaces, repainting walls, and ensuring safety and cleanliness in all areas. It also includes the launch of literacy and numeracy support through Brigada Pagbasa and Brigada Pagbilang, targeted interventions for junior high school learners in need of reading and math remediation.

Beyond physical repairs, the school is inviting stakeholders to help build learning-friendly environments, including reading corners, mental wellness spaces, and health support stations. Donations such as cleaning supplies, paint, books, fans, plants, and hygiene kits are welcome.

Stakeholders may adopt classrooms, sponsor repairs, or volunteer as resource persons. Even the simplest act of helping—sweeping, painting, or sharing kind words—adds to the collective effort of preparing our students for the school year ahead.

Brigada Eskwela sends a strong message: that the success of our learners is a shared responsibility. Every brushstroke, every cleaned desk, every repaired chair represents care and belief in every child’s potential.

The school calls on all parents, alumni, organizations, and friends of education to be part of this movement. Let us make Brigada Eskwela 2025 not just a week of preparation, but a lasting expression of commitment to our youth.

Together, let’s rise in unity. Together, let’s build not just better schools—but brighter futures.

As part of its continuing commitment to foundational education, the school proudly launches Brigada Pagbilang 2025—a week-long numeracy support initiative held from June 9 to 13, 2025 in line with the national Brigada Eskwela. This year's campaign carries the empowering theme: “Bridging Math Gaps, Building Confidence.”

Brigada Pagbilang is designed to address the numeracy challenges faced by learners in Grades 7 to 10, particularly those who struggle with basic operations, number sense, and problem-solving skills. Like Brigada Pagbasa, the initiative is grounded in the principle of inclusive education and community engagement, drawing support from teachers, parents, alumni, and student volunteers.

The program follows a structured, leveled approach. On the first day, learners will undergo a baseline numeracy assessment to identify key gaps in computation, pattern recognition, place value understanding, and word problem comprehension. Based on the results, students will be grouped into numeracy levels: Group A for foundational remediation, Group B for guided practice, Group C for reinforcement, and Group D for fluency and enrichment.

Each day of Brigada Pagbilang carries a focused mathematical theme. Day 2 will concentrate on number operations and mental math drills, utilizing manipulatives, flashcards, and collaborative games to build confidence and speed. On Day 3, the spotlight will shift to problem-solving and real-life math scenarios, helping learners connect abstract concepts to practical application through interactive activities such as budgeting, measuring, and estimation tasks.

On the final day, learners will participate in a Math Quiz Bee Showcase, where selected participants from each group will demonstrate their progress in a friendly, inclusive competition. Certificates of participation and improvement will be awarded, highlighting not only accuracy but also effort and a growth mindset.

To ensure effective intervention, math teachers will facilitate small-group sessions using leveled materials. A progress monitoring form, using a simple 1–5 rating scale for each day, will be used to track learner growth in understanding and skill application.

Brigada Pagbilang is also a celebration of partnership. Volunteers—including student leaders, alumni, and parents—will assist in math games, peer coaching, and motivational activities. The presence of these community members sends a powerful message: that numeracy is not a subject to fear, but a skill to embrace—with encouragement and collective support.

At the end of the program, an accomplishment report will document the learners served, materials used, outputs created, and the changes observed in learner confidence and performance. Recommendations will be gathered for sustaining numeracy remediation throughout the school year.

“Building numeracy is about more than solving problems—it’s about helping students believe they can. When we build their math confidence, we unlock doors to lifelong learning and future success.”

Through this initiative, the school reaffirms its mission to make learning equitable, relevant, and empowering. By bridging Math gaps, Brigada Pagbilang 2025 builds not only better learners but also bolder problem-solvers.

In full alignment with the Department of Education’s annual Brigada Eskwela campaign, Brigada Pagbasa 2025 will be launched on June 9 - 13, 2025, with the theme “Read to Rise: A Brigada Pagbasa Initiative for Junior High School Learners.” This school-led reading initiative seeks to provide meaningful support to Grades 7 to 10 learners identified as struggling readers in both English and Filipino.

The week-long program is anchored in the belief that every child has the potential to succeed when given the right tools, encouragement, and community support. At the heart of Brigada Pagbasa is the desire to restore reading confidence, nurture comprehension, and promote a culture of collaborative literacy within the school and beyond.

On the first day of the initiative, Grade 7 learners will undergo the San Diego Quick Assessment (SDQA) to determine their reading fluency. Based on the results, all participating learners from Grades 7 to 10 will be grouped into four distinct reading levels: Group A for readers at the frustration level, Group B for those needing instructional support, Group C for learners who are reading independently, and Group D for fluent readers who can be challenged further. This level-based grouping ensures that every learner receives reading activities that are appropriate and responsive to their individual needs.

As the sessions unfold, learners will engage in a series of progressively designed reading experiences. The second day will focus on vocabulary building and guided reading. Facilitators and volunteers will guide students through reading materials specifically curated for their level. Activities will include word decoding, vocabulary enrichment, paired reading, and structured discussions aimed at building fluency and interest in reading.

The third day of the program will highlight oral storytelling and comprehension activities. Learners will be encouraged to retell stories in their own words, engage in reading circles, and participate in simple reflective tasks to check for understanding. This day emphasizes not only what learners can read, but also what they can recall, feel, and express through language.

On the final day, the school will celebrate the gains of the learners and volunteers through a culminating program. Groups will share their learning through mini-presentations—be it a dramatic retelling, a short skit, or a reading reflection. Awards and certificates will be distributed to recognize the most improved readers, the most active volunteers, and all who participated consistently throughout the week.

What sets this year's Brigada Pagbasa apart is its multi-sectoral approach. Community volunteers—composed of teachers, student leaders, parents, and alumni—will be oriented and deployed across the reading groups. Their involvement embodies the true spirit of Brigada: shared responsibility for the success of every learner. These volunteers will be trained in evidence-based practices including echo reading, vocabulary scaffolding, and comprehension mapping, using tools such as graphic organizers and leveled worksheets.

Monitoring learner progress is also a vital part of the program. Facilitators will track each participant using a one-to-five daily rating scale for fluency and comprehension. Learners will complete daily worksheets, and their progress will be documented through journals, photo evidence, and group reflections. Materials include English and Filipino reading passages from Baitang 1 to 11, each paired with questions and answer keys to support facilitators and reinforce independent learning.

An official accomplishment report will be prepared at the close of the program. This will include statistics on learner participation, summaries of reading level progression, notable outcomes, and recommendations for sustaining literacy interventions throughout the school year. Certificates will also be issued to all learners and volunteers who took part in the initiative.

“Read to Rise is not just a reading program—it is a movement. It is our commitment to uplift struggling readers, not through pressure, but through presence, patience, and partnership.”

Through this effort, the school reaffirms its belief that reading is the foundation of learning and that with collective action, every learner can and will rise.
