(Solid Waste Education and Environmental Protection)

II. Proponent: Rica A. Nucum

III. Period of Implementation: School Year 2023-2029

IV. Background and Rationale

Effective solid waste management in elementary schools requires the participation

and cooperation of both teachers and students. Teachers play a critical role in modeling
sustainable behaviors and educating students about the importance of proper waste
management practices (Amaro, 2020). At the same time, students can act as ambassadors
of change, advocating for sustainable practices both at school and in their communities.

This program is rooted in the need to foster a culture of sustainability within

elementary schools. While many schools have implemented waste management
programs, the success of these programs is often dependent on the level of engagement
and participation of both teachers and students. By involving both groups in the
development and implementation of waste management practices, we can create a more
sustainable and effective program (Galgauz, 2019). In light of the findings of the study of
Nucum (2023) entitled “Project Solid Waste Education and Environmental Protection: A
Cluster-Based Program”, it is found that Teachers were knowledgeable about solid waste
management and have a positive attitude toward it thus they have a low level of practice.
The need for training to put their knowledge into practice is evident as it is revealed by
the data on the said research.

The rationale behind this program is to empower teachers and students to work
together to promote sustainable waste management practices. We can create a more
comprehensive and effective program by providing teachers with the necessary
knowledge and tools to effectively manage waste and incorporating students into waste
management initiatives. Additionally, involving students in waste management efforts
can help to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment, leading to
more sustainable behaviors in the future (Sandro, 2020).

In addition to the environmental benefits, this program can also have positive
social impacts. Teachers and students can develop a sense of community and
collaboration by working together on waste management initiatives and promoting a
positive school culture. Additionally, the program can help to develop valuable skills
such as problem-solving, communication, and leadership among students.

In conclusion, the teacher's and student's solid waste management program is

essential for creating a culture of sustainability in elementary schools. By involving
teachers and students in waste management initiatives, we can develop effective and
 sustainable practices while promoting a sense of ownership and environmental
responsibility (Davis, 2018).

Empowering Young Eco-Leaders:

YES-O Journey in Talimundok Elementary School

As the YES-O Adviser at Talimundok Elementary School, I couldn't contain my

excitement as the day of the inauguration approached. The establishment of the Youth for
Environment in Schools Organization for the school year 2023-2024 was not just an event; it was
the beginning of a transformative journey for our school community. The conference hall buzzed
with anticipation as eager students from different grade levels gathered for the YES-O
inauguration. It was heartening to see so many young faces filled with enthusiasm and a desire to
make a positive impact on the environment. I knew then that we were on the cusp of something
extraordinary.

As the YES-O Adviser, my role was not only to guide the students but also to foster a
sense of ownership and leadership among them. I emphasized the importance of their voices and
ideas in shaping the future of YES-O. Through open discussions and brainstorming sessions, the
students began to realize the power they held in creating change.

The highlight of the inauguration was the election of YES-O officers. Witnessing the
candidates present their platforms with passion and determination was a proud moment for me. It
was a true representation of democracy in action, and I could see the students taking their roles
seriously.

With the newly elected officers in place, we proceeded to brief them and the rest of the
members about the upcoming activities. The calendar was filled with environmentally conscious
projects, each designed to make a significant impact on our school and the community. From
waste reduction campaigns to eco-education workshops, we aimed to instill a sense of
environmental responsibility in every student.

One of the most gratifying aspects of being the YES-O Adviser was witnessing the
transformation of the students. They started to see themselves not just as participants in an
organization but as environmental advocates with the power to create change. Their passion for
sustainability and eagerness to contribute were infectious, inspiring the entire school community.

As we continue on this journey, I am confident that YES-O at Talimundok Elementary

School will flourish. With a team of dedicated officers and enthusiastic members, we will work
together to make a difference in the world around us. Every small action counts, and I believe
that our collective efforts will lead to a greener and more sustainable school and community.

As the YES-O Adviser, I feel privileged to witness the growth and development of these
young eco-leaders. They are the driving force behind our school's environmental initiatives, and
their determination fills me with hope for a better future. Together, we will leave a lasting impact
on Talimundok Elementary School, inspiring generations of students to come to embrace
environmental consciousness and become stewards of the planet.

PROJECT SIKLAB: TALIMUNDOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON IT’S

ESTABLISHMENT OF SCIENCE LABORATORY
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 2023-2024

Project SIKLAB, a collaborative initiative between the Division of Mabalacat City and
Talimundok Elementary School, embarked on a journey during the school year 2023-2024 to
revolutionize science education and environmental awareness within our school community. The
core objectives of this project were the creation of a dedicated science laboratory, the
establishment of a flourishing garden, and the effective utilization of laboratory apparatus.

A pivotal achievement was the transformation of a room into a dedicated science laboratory.
While the conversion marked a significant leap toward our goals, it became evident that further
renovation was necessary. These enhancements are imperative to guarantee safety, efficient use
of space, and the creation of an ideal environment for hands-on scientific exploration.

In parallel, Project SIKLAB invested in the procurement of laboratory apparatus, which were
thoughtfully secured in cabinets and racks. The project's coordinators, recognizing the need for
more extensive renovation, sought to improve equipment storage solutions. This is aimed at
ensuring both security and accessibility, two essential elements in facilitating effective and
engaging practical experiments.

In the interim, Science teachers demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness and adaptability.

They employed the available laboratory apparatus for classroom experiments, ensuring that
students had the opportunity to benefit from hands-on learning experiences. This temporary
arrangement, while admirable, underscores the continued need for renovation and improvements
to realize the project's complete potential.

Complementing these infrastructure developments, Project SIKLAB successfully established

a sustainable garden within the school premises. This garden, functioning as an open-air
classroom, has empowered students to connect with the environment, participate in horticultural
activities, and explore ecological concepts. Native plants and eco-friendly practices within the
garden have already begun sowing the seeds of biodiversity awareness and sustainability within
our young minds.
 To further catalyze change, the project prioritized teacher training and curriculum development,
ensuring that science lessons have been revamped to integrate laboratory apparatus effectively.
Currently, at least 80% of science lessons include hands-on experiments, fostering an
environment of active participation in scientific inquiry.

Moreover, Project SIKLAB organized a series of environmental awareness events and initiatives
throughout the school year. These included tree-planting activities, eco-friendly campaigns, and
educational seminars. These endeavors aimed to nurture a profound sense of responsibility
toward the environment, fostering a community-wide commitment to sustainability.

In conclusion, "Project SIKLAB: Nurturing the Seeds of Science and Sustainability" has
successfully ignited the spark of change at Talimundok Elementary School. While the need for
further renovations and improvements is evident, the commitment and tireless effort of the
Division of Mabalacat City, the school, and the community have brought us closer to our goals.
The project's title is a reflection of the path ahead – one of nurturing and growth, where science
and environmental consciousness will continue to flourish. The journey of Project SIKLAB
promises a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
