Parents and volunteers worked diligently to refresh the classroom with ivory color, making our
classroom more inviting and conducive to learning.

Conclusion:

Brigada Eskwela 2023 proved to be an outstanding success, thanks to the collective dedication
and efforts of the Grade 7-Daffodil parents and the wider school community. This event not only
enhanced the school's physical appearance but also strengthened the bond between the school,
parents, and the local community. It serves as a testament to what can be achieved when individuals
come together with a shared vision of providing a better educational experience for our students. As we

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
