Educators believe that environment plays a big part in pupils learning. And so, if classrooms are not conducive to learning because of poor condition and some defective school facilities, education is hindered. The Department of Education conducted this years Brigada Eskwela , also known as the National Schools Maintenance Week on May 23-28, 2011 where all education stakeholders contributed their time, effort and resources in ensuring that the school facilities are ready in time for the school opening. As early as March, Ms. Filipina P. Yanga and teachers of Linagit Primary School recruited volunteers who would participate in the brigade. Parents, school alumni and other people from the community were encouraged to join the week - long annual program. Since no national government money was put into Brigada Eskwela (because there was simply no budget for that purpose), private businesses, NGOs, private individuals and local government were tapped to solicit donations to cover the effort of repair and maintenance of the school. It was on April when the school physical facilities coordinator and some PTA members performed a school ocular to identify the school facilities that need repair and maintenance. After this, the steering committee planned different schools activities for Brigada Eskwela . Early morning of May 23, the teachers of Meyto Elementary School and Linagit Primary school held a parade that signaled the start of Brigada Eskwela. After the parade a short program followed. The presence of different groups of volunteers was acknowledged. Short orientation about the mechanics of the 6day activity was given by Ms. Miguela M. Perez. Finally the opening of the Brigada Eskwela was announced. The willing, ready and able brigade included zealous teachers, enthusiastic parents, excited students, and other concern people of the community. Professional help such as carpenters, welders, masons
and painters was provided by some generous benefactors to assist in reconstructing some of the classrooms. One major project donated to the school by Mr. Pedro Faustino was the replacement of the roofs of the Marcos Type Building. Among the minor activities are repainting of the classrooms walls, ceilings, doors, windows and window grills, repair of desks, armchairs and cabinets. Cleaning of the school surroundings and rehabilitation of the school garden were assigned to some mothers who found true enjoyment in doing their tasks. All the members of the brigade worked tirelessly for one week. They did all that and more with an enviable spirit of camaraderie. May 28, was the last day of the week long activity. Through the overwhelming support of the volunteers, the classrooms are restructured and spruced up. All school facilities are now in good condition. The school surrounding is now free from tall grasses. Generally, the school is now ready for the school opening. Evidences for the week long activity are attached herewith.

Our school benefited not only from better classrooms and facilities but also from the goodwill of people who exerted effort, spent time and shared what they have to the betterment of the school. The true value of Brigada Eskwela is on how well we can teach our children the essence of cooperation and community involvement. Our Bayanihan spirit is very much alive in Brigada Eskwela.
