As we open another exciting school year, I warmly welcome all our learners, teachers and non teaching staff, school heads, parents/guardians and all stakeholders to the beginning of a new chapter in our shared journey of learning and growth for SY 2025-2026.

Throughout the year, we are guided by a powerful theme: “Sama-sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa” These words remind us that the ability to read opens doors—not only to knowledge but to imagination, creativity, critical thinking, opportunity, and lifelong success. Reading is the foundation of all learning, and building a culture of reading is a responsibility we share as a community as we all believe that, it takes a village to educate a child.

Dear friends and supporters of education, let us work hand in hand—schools, families, and communities—to foster a love for reading in every learner. Let us read aloud, read together, and read with purpose. Whether it’s a storybook, a science article, or a poem, every word we engage with strengthens minds and builds futures for our learners.

As we start this school year, may we move forward with full of energy, unparalleled curiosity, and the full commitment to nurture a nation of readers. Together, we can build classrooms and homes where reading is not just an activity, but a daily habit and a joyful experience for everyone especially our dear learners, the center of the educative process.

Here’s to a year of learning, growing, and reading—together.

With open minds and hearts we welcome you back this SY 2025-2026 and beyond.
