Enchanted Kingdom, the country’s first and only world-class theme park, marked its 11th year of participation in the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela program by turning over two adopted kindergarten classrooms to Caingin Elementary School in Santa Rosa, Laguna. This is part of EK’s School of Enchantment program which aims to provide fun and unique learning experiences by blending entertainment and education.
Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide school maintenance program that engages all education stakeholders to contribute their time, efforts, and resources in ensuring all public schools are all set in time for class opening. This year’s theme is “Sama-sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa.”
Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, this is the 11th year that EK is supporting the said program inline with its commitment to nation-building and education. Since 2012, EK has turned over a total of 14 refurbished kindergarten classrooms in nearby schools, ensuring that students have access to fun, safe, and magical learning environments.
The premier theme park’s very own maintenance personnel repaired and upgraded the lighting and electrical system of the classrooms as well as added furniture and shelves; while their visual artists brightened the atmosphere by painting EK’s beloved characters and core values into the classroom walls.
EK President and Chairman Cesar Mario Mamon expressed their commitment not only to expand their reach for Brigada Eskwela, but also to bring even more magical and educational experiences that go beyond the four corners of the classroom.
“Education is vital in our future plans because we want to provide an alternative classroom—that when you go to Enchanted Kingdom, students will be able to appreciate and learn about different subjects,” he shared.
In a separate meeting with Department of Education Secretary Sonny Angara, Mayor Arlene Arcillas, and officials from the Schools Division Office of Santa Rosa City, EK affirmed their support to all of DepEd’s plans and programs.
The turnover ceremony was graced by Santa Rosa City Vice Mayor Arnold Arcillas with Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) for Santa Rosa Hereberto Jose Miranda, CESO VI; Education Program Supervisor (EPS) for Kindergarten and Special Education (SPED) Maribel De Vera; Cluster III Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) Soledad Baylon; Barangay Caingin Captain Edwin Servo; Caingin Elementary School Principal III Guadalupe Factoriza; School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) President Josephine Mandala, teachers, parents, and students.
