As a result, the school garnered special citations in the competition on the best implementer of Gulayan sa Paaralan and grade level gardening respectively. This is a search launched by the Division Office in partnership with the YES sponsored by the Provincial Environment Office. For this school year 2019-2020, _________________ Elementary School aims to maintain or even surpass the said awards. In this juncture, the implementers thought of embarking on a long plan income generating project as a means of maintaining and sustaining the program. Most importantly to raise funds for the improvement of the School’s Gulayan Project, the School’s fish production and school’s feeding program. H. Purposes and Objectives 1. To build an understanding of and respect for nature and our environment. 2. To motivate pupils to plant and eat vegetables, fish production and mushroom production. 3.

To provide an opportunity for inculcating among the pupils the value of work, industry and caring for the environment. 8. To have an alternative source of food for the school’s feeding program. 9. To experience earning money for the improvement of the school’s backyard gardening and fish production.

Each grade level will harvest their own fruits/vegetable in the morning and selling of the same follows in the same place, school garden. Record and sales is necessary. The amount of sales will be determined by using the format as in Table A below: Table A: Please See Attach Records of Seed Dispersal Please See Attach Records of Sales In the event that there is an excess in their product, the said amount will be used to buy garden tools and equipment for the maintenance of the garden.

Conclusions The “_____ES-GP’s; Palaisdaan and Mushroom Production” (GP) was a modest replication of the “Gulayan ng Masa” (GM) served as one of the best practices of _________________ Elementary School – created a vital contribution for its feeding program. Pre-reflective awareness in responding to government mandates like “YES” and sustainable development, hunger and malnutrition, and other environmental challenges was a valuable piece for proximal impression led the __ES-GP’s; Palaisdaan and Fish Production creation. Exasperations to the inimical attitude shown among the __ES-GP’s; Palaisdaan stakeholders, resulted in the garden’s minimum involvement, insufficient landscaping and garden fixtures, no proper arrangement and classification of vegetables according to the specified garden models indicated no discouragement. Stretched consciousness of these realities, catapulted a transcendent vision for change and innovate organic fertilizers and pesticides in the enhancement of garden yields. Experiences swirled to a retention that mattered; a passion for environment, a coordination of the nongovernment organization was forged for successful maintenance of the garden was regarded an anticipated proposal for action. Success in vegetable gardening was an attribute of passion in a seamless element of stretched consciousness for sustainable development, with a certain degree of sameness across the flow of time. M. Recommendations A crop museum is highly recommended to be adopted to promote crop diversification and improve the sufficiency on the supply of seeds and seedlings. Likewise, be advised that the Division monitoring team will visit our school in a quarterly basis. PICTORIAL REPORT: Below are the documented practices in the entire duration of the program.
