PROJECT INSPIRE — EDUCATION BEYOND LIMITS

Anchored in our mission to serve, asynchronous classes were conducted amidst almost three weeks of class suspension — some teachers began each session with heartfelt check‑ins, prioritizing learners’ well‑being first to prevent learning loss and bridge every gap. During the height of the typhoon, food packs were also distributed to affected families — bringing aid and hope when it was needed most.

Indeed — Aguinaldo carries its name well: a blessing to others, in education, in care, and in service. Education truly goes beyond limits.

STUDENT‑LED SAFETY CHECK AUDIT
Aguinaldo Elementary School | August 12, 2026

Right after dismissal, two YES‑O officers led rounds together with our partners from Police Station 5, the School Head, and our security guard — showing strong teamwork among everyone inside and outside the school.

They checked for possible risks brought by two weeks of steady rains, made sure no one can enter without permission, and confirmed all lights and power points are switched off — extra care as the Habagat continues.

Every corner checked, every detail seen — because safety works best when we all help. We stand watch together, trusting we are kept safe in His hands.

PROJECT KAPIT-BISIG: NO FAMILY LEFT BEHIND

An Inclusive School-Community Response for Well-Being and Holistic Education during Typhoon Maymay

Beyond the classroom, care continued. When Typhoon Maymay suspended face-to-face classes for two weeks, Aguinaldo Elementary School remained connected with its learners and families through family check-ins and community support. In partnership with the PTA, LGU, and Police Station 5, food packs were delivered directly to families in need, while other families came to school to claim their assistance. Prayers, encouragement, and emotional support were likewise extended during this difficult time.

The initiative demonstrated that the school's responsibility extends beyond academic instruction. Even during a suspension of classes, the school remained present, responsive, and connected to the needs of its learners and families.

Through Project KAPIT-BISIG, the school community came together to provide assistance, strengthen relationships, and remind families that they were not alone during a difficult time.

When classes stopped, care did not. The school remained connected, responsive, and ready to serve.
