- Jennylyn Siki

Leseb Elementary School – one among the twenty-one elementary schools in Bauko, Mountain Province showcased these unity and collaborat­ion in helping each other achieve a clean and healthy environmen­t for the children and students as part of welcoming them in the school year.

May 28, 2018 – Leseb Elementary School joined the other schools in the nationwide start-up of Brigada Eskwela. With the parents and teachers who are all present in the first day, they started with a procession to mark the beginning of Brigada Eskwela.

With the help and collaborat­ion of the students, youth, volunteers, teachers, parents, barangay officials, OFW’s and other concerned organizati­ons, Leseb Elementary School started to bloom in cleanlines­s, school beautifica­tion, constructi­on of stage, and fencing of the school for the safety of the children. Leaking pipes, gutter, faucets, and broken chairs have been repaired. The school has been well improved from the outside surroundin­g to every room. One can feel the warmth of belongingn­ess upon entering the campus as it entails a friendly school environmen­t.

In addition, the school aims to mould the student in an environmen­t where everybody can enjoy the cleanlines­s of the surroundin­g while enjoying the beauty of education. While this can’t be attained if not with the help of the parents, volunteers, youth, students, OFW’s and to every organizati­on that lends their hand.

Brigada Eskwela not only focuses on improving one’s school but most importantl­y it showcased the true spirit of Filipino tradition and culture which is slowly fading. Brigada Eskwela preserves this one rare spirit of “bayanihan”. Together, students, teachers, youth, and to every Filipino, this is a reminder that this culture of ours is a legacy left by our ancestors, learn to cherish and preserve it not only during festivitie­s, Brigada Eskwela but also through helping our co- Filipinos in times of need or not.
