Aguinaldo Elementary School recently earned top honors as Most Learning Focused in the Big School Category of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) program, and has since opened its doors to share its award-winning initiatives with fellow educators.

Just two weeks ago, the school hosted a visit from Adiwang Integrated School; today, January 8, 2026, it welcomed Manuel Roxas Elementary School to benchmark on its standout practices centered on Project HANDA and the acclaimed ARAL Reading Program. In the school office, Aguinaldo’s principal presented performance data showing how the ARAL Program drastically reduced non-readers—a key outcome of their learning-focused approach—while Project HANDA built an inclusive environment that supports learners of all backgrounds and abilities. Visiting teams toured all classrooms, each one ARAL-ready with vibrant instructional materials tailored to every learner’s needs, then explored two complementary specialized spaces: the Madrasah Room, where Muslim learners attend ARAL remedial reading lessons alongside Muslim cultural and religious classes, and the Learning Resource Center (LRC), which hosts pull-out classes and teaches lifelong skills like cooking, baking, and self-help techniques. They also visited the Wellness Room for students’ emotional well-being, and viewed displays from the sewing subject featuring beautifully crafted pillowcases made by students, demonstrating technical skills and creativity.

After each visit, participating schools evaluated the session and exchanged certificates of appreciation; educators from Adiwang Integrated have already begun planning how to adopt practices, while the Manuel Roxas delegation committed to doing the same today. Aguinaldo’s leadership emphasized: “This win as Most Learning Focused – Big School Category is not just an achievement for us – it’s a call to share what works, so every learner across Baguio and the Cordillera can thrive.”

District 6 Harvests Thanks, Plants Hope

In a fitting close to the academic year, the School Heads and Public Schools District Supervisor of District 6 gathered today at the serene UM-A Farm in Tuba, Benguet, for a half-day-long fellowship titled “Harvesting Thanks, Planting Hope.” The activity blended structured reflection, symbolic acts, and shared fellowship to honor the year’s journey and sow intentions for the year ahead.
A highlight of the morning was the inspirational message delivered by SDS, Soraya T. Faculo, PhD, Ceso V, who emphasized leadership anchored in data, blame-free positivity, and the creation of safe, conducive school environments. She reminded the body of the importance of listening deeply to both learners and teachers, and of leading with gratitude—a theme that resonated throughout the day’s activities.
Participants then engaged in a paired sharing of “small wins,” an exercise that sparked reflection and smiles, followed by the “Harvest of Gratitude,” where each member offered three seeds of thanks—one professional, one personal, and one for a colleague within the district. This practice nurtured a culture of appreciation and mutual recognition.
The symbolic gift-giving that followed was designed to emphasize meaning over material value. Through a playful exchange, each gift became a token of goodwill, reinforcing the spirit of generosity without financial weight.
A poignant moment came with the symbolic planting of coffee seedlings, representing each leader’s commitment to nurture a specific area of growth in the coming year. Participants also received coffee seeds to plant at home—a living reminder of the hopes sown collectively at the farm. Against the backdrop of UM-A Farm’s tranquil scenery, the day was filled with light moments, heartfelt exchanges, and ample photo opportunities that captured the joy and connection shared by all.
More than a year-end activity, this fellowship served as food for the heart and soul—an intentional pause to honor the past, celebrate the present, and plant hope intentionally for the future. District 6 continues to cultivate leadership that is not only effective but also humane, grateful, and rooted in positivity.
