To our School Principal IV as well as our District Coordinating Principal Ma'am

Chuchie Ferrando-Yog, to our Head Teacher III Ma'am Marwina J. Manjac, to

my dear colleagues, parents and students. A pleasant morning to all of us!

Somehow you are wondering why you are here. Nag unsa ta dire?

Today is the first day of our Brigada Eskwela at the same time our School
Brigada Eskwela Kick Off with the theme "Bayanihan Para sa matatag na
Paaralan Tara na, Magbrigada na tayo!" pursuant to Deped Order No. 21, s,
2023, also known as the 2023 Brigada Eskwela Implementing Guidelines, to
guide schools on sustaining partnership engagement and ensure its alignment
with the components of the MATATAG Agenda. According to our Vice
President and Deped Secretary Sara Z. Duterte, Brigada Eskwela, or the
National Maintenance Week, is simpler this year. "It is just making our schools
functional, clean, and orderly, inside and outside classrooms, and within school
sites," she stated.

Beginning today, August 14, 2023; the Brigada Eskwela will be conducted. This
advocacy program is meant to convince more local governments, communities,
businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other local and
national partners to support the implementation of BE and contribute to
adequately preparing public schools for the start of classes on August 29. Oplan
Balik Eskwela, or Enrollment, began on August 7 and will run through until
August 26, 2023. Although Brigada Eskwela is an annual celebration for us, the
obligation lasts the entire academic year. The BE this year emphasized the
nation's volunteer actions to build the resilience of schools and basic education,
as well as to maintain a clean, safe, inclusive, and child-friendly learning
environment for students and teaching and non-teaching professionals. In order
to stress the actual spirit of volunteerism for this year's BE, the Department will
no longer host competitions for the Best Implementing School Awards, Hall of
Fame Awards, and Brigada Plus at the national level. The partners and
stakeholders who took part in BE may still receive recognition from schools,
districts, and divisions.

If you would like to give or donate resources for the improvement of our school,
Tambongon NHS will be honored to accept it. Thank you, and good morning
once more.
