To ensure a clean, safe, inclusive, and child-friendly learning environment for learners and teaching and non-teaching personnel, and strengthen resiliency of schools and basic education, SM City Baguio recently helped in refurbish and revitalize schools thru the annual Brigada Eskwela.
SM City Baguio recently helped in the refurbishing Ambiong Elementary School on August 4 and 19 as a demonstration of their unwavering commitment to education and community development through their participation in the annual Brigada Eskwela initiative.
Aside from cleaning, school façade and corridors were repainted to create a vibrant and conducive atmosphere for students.
Additional painting materials were also turned over. The initiative aimed to inspire and motivate young minds by providing them with an engaging educational space and enhancing the comfort and safety of the students and teachers.
These initiatives are a testament to SM’s dedication to education and their firm belief in the power of volunteerism. By engaging their employees in community service, SM City Baguio strives to nurture a spirit of volunteerism and social responsibility among their team members.
Brigada Eskwela serves as a platform for collaboration between SM City Baguio and educational institutions, allowing them to work hand in hand to create a positive impact on the lives of students. Through these projects, SM Malls aim to contribute to the holistic development of the community and empower the future generation.
Running from August 14 to 19, the advocacy program of the Department of Education aims to encourage more local governments, communities, businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other local and national partners to support the implementation of BE and contribute in adequately preparing public schools for the opening of classes on August 29.
For this year’s Brigada, Deped will no longer hold contests for Best Implementing School Awards, Hall of Fame Awards, and Brigada Plus at the national level to emphasize the true spirit of volunteerism. Schools, districts, and divisions may still give recognition to partners and stakeholders that participated in BE.
This move is to completely prevent the schools, school heads, teachers, and other personnel from holding solicitations to raise contributions for the conduct of its Brigada activities. NLMonitor
