engaged their time in fulfilling their roles in the upkeep of the school.
Early morning of May 20, the teachers of Mendez Crossing Elementary School held a

parade. The presence of different groups of volunteers was acknowledged.
During the Brigada, you can see the willingness and readinedd of all the hardworking
teachers, enthusiastic parents, excited students and concerned stakeholders as they make the
school a clean and comfortable learning environment for students.
Among the activities being done during the Brigada are repainting of the classrooms
wall, ceilings, doors & window grills, repairing of desks and armchairs & cabinets and cleaning
of the school surroundings. All the volunteer stakeholders worked tireless for one week.

facilities are now in good condition and ready for the opening of school.
