Brigada Eskwela is a DepEd  activity which invites and involves organizations, private sectors, NGOs, parents and students to share their time, efforts and resources for the repair, renovation, redecoration and reconstruction of school buildings within their communities.

Padre Zamora Elementary School  started the Brigada Eskwela as early April. Our school principal, Ms. Eden E. Dioquino conducted a meeting and assigned the different committees for the said activity.

The different committees planned for the Brigada Eskwela forthcoming activities. They also discussed how they can generate the materials needed and prospect donors to augment the needed materials. The day-to-day activities were also discussed like what to do and when to do it. It was suggested that the earlier listings of materials the better so that everybody can prepare so our school physical facilities coordinator, Mrs. Evelyn D. Silao performed a school ocular to identify the school facilities that need repair and maintenance.

During the whole month of April and May, the Brigada Eskwela 2018 Coordinator together with the Resource Mobilization Committee recruited volunteers who would participate in the brigade. Parents, students, school alumni, SPG and barangay officials were encouraged to join the week-long annual program. Private businesses, NGO·s, private individuals and local government were tapped to solicit donations to cover the effort of repair and maintenance of the school.

Early morning of May 28, Padre Zamora Elementary School held a parade that signaled the start of Brigada Eskwela 2018. After the parade a short program followed. Ms. Eden E. Dioquino, the school principal welcome and acknowledged the different groups of donors and volunteers. Short orientation about the mechanics of the 6-day activity was given by Ms. Liezl M. Nepomuceno, BE Coordinator. Finally the opening of the Brigada Eskwela 2018 was announced.

Padre Zamora Elementary School administrator, faculty and staff would like to extend their sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who generously contributed to make this year’s Brigada Eskwela a success.
