I. INTRODUCTION/RATIONALE:
A well-maintained school provides a safe and attractive learning

environment for students. School beautification projects, however,

can offer much more than physical improvements to the school

buildings and grounds. Through cleaning and painting the outside

and inside of the school and by planting new flowers and shrubs, the

pupils can take advantage of educational, personal development and

community building opportunities.

If a school is valued, it will inspire pride of ownership among

students, staff, and community members. A sustainable campus

beautification effort can be a source of inspiration. The purpose of

this study was to determine if campus beautification projects made a

positive impact on student behavior and academic performance. This

study was based on qualitative research methods. Interviews

measured the perceptions of one administrator and three teachers at

each school site. Interview responses were coded and analyzed to

discover emerging themes in the data. In general, the teachers and

Pmrms-northProjectS.A.F.Einthenewnormal 2
the administrators agreed that campus beautification projects had

positively impacted student behavior and academic performance.

Teachers stated that involving students in the process of improving

the quality of their school environment taught pride of ownership,

community spirit, and leadership skills. Students who took part in

campus beautification continued to seek experiences in campus

improvement. Administrators reported a positive change in student

behaviors and that beautification experience benefited students from

all academic levels and behavioral backgrounds. The majority of the

interviewees expressed that student benefited most directly from

campus beautification. Others stated that the staff was most

positively affected. In either case, interviewees' overall perceptions

were that campus beautification improved student behavior and

academic performance. Campus beautification projects should be

investigated at every school level. Projects provide a simple solution to

the rising problem of aging school facilities. Schools should pursue

campus beautification as a means of improving staff and student

morale. District office and site administrations should support

beautification efforts and allow students the opportunity to improve

their campus environment. Schools should enlist parents and

community members to participate in beautification projects.

Recommendations for further study include the impact of

beautification at the elementary and high school levels, on urban,

suburban and rural schools, and into how school administrations and

district administrations can best support beautification efforts.

School beautification is a great way to do all of those things and

more, bringing schools and communities together. It’s a way to create

Pmrms-northProjectS.A.F.Einthenewnormal 3
and preserve both beautiful and healthy environments where learning

and camaraderie is enhanced.

Beautiful landscaping and clean facilities push students in the

right direction by giving them a wonderful space to work and grow in.

They come into school knowing that they’re worth something because

someone took the time to take care of a place, they call home for eight

or more hours of the day. Along with encouraging students to be more

involved in their school day, beautification teaches students how to be

more respectful of the environment and to clean up after themselves.

As the community sees how well treated their nearby school is, a

sense of pride will begin to consume the community. You may see an

increase in event and fundraiser attendance all because of the

community and their drive to keep up the school’s appearance.

However, school facilities maintenance is concerned about more

than just resource management. It is about providing clean and safe

environments for children. It is also about creating a physical setting

that is appropriate and adequate for learning. A classroom with

broken windows and cold drafts doesn’t foster effective student

learning. However, neither does an apparently state-of-the-art

classroom that is plagued with uncontrollable swings in indoor

temperature, which can negatively affect student and instructor

alertness, attendance, and even health.

School facilities maintenance affects the physical, educational, and

financial foundation of the school organization and should, therefore,

be a focus of both its day-to-day operations and long-range

management priorities.

Pmrms-northProjectS.A.F.Einthenewnormal 4
 The most visible results of school beautification projects are the

changes to the physical surroundings. Removing graffiti from walls,

picking up litter and garbage and even planting new trees and flowers

will help to create a clean and attractive learning environment.

Physical changes inside the school could include adapting the

classrooms and common areas by painting murals or encouraging the

students to decorate the outside of the lockers.

Beautification projects provide a unique and relevant teaching

opportunity. The educational objectives of such projects could be that

children learn about the history of the school and surrounding area,

or that they make signs about the plants that they add to the school

grounds. They could learn about the biodiversity of the school

grounds or the correct way to apply paint for the murals. Tying the

beautification project into the school's academic curriculum enhances

the children's learning.

Any changes to the school, whether to the physical buildings or to

the grounds, allow the children to develop a heightened awareness of

the environmental issues surrounding the school community.

Discussion of how the area came to be this way, whether by neglect,

pollution or disrespect for property, will illustrate the effects of people

on the environment. Developing solutions to improve the area and to

keep it from regressing can create a sense of responsibility in the

learners and a desire to preserve the changes. Identifying the

immediate natural environment and its characteristics as they plant

trees, flowers and shrubs will connect the students directly to the

earth.

Pmrms-northProjectS.A.F.Einthenewnormal 5
 Building community relationships is an important objective, which

will last beyond the beautification project. Involve a variety of people

in the project, starting with the school community of teachers,

learners and support staff, and moving outward to parents. Local

businesses may donate supplies and local organizations, such as

senior homes or the Girl Guides, may offer to help. Developing a

community sense of pride and ownership, and contributing to the

improvement of the local environment, will establish lasting ties in the

community.

The Project S.A.F.E Program aims to create and maintain a positive

and safe environment that supports the learning and development of

all students; an environment guided by the principles of respect and

understanding where the dignity of all students is recognized and

protected.

A healthy and safe physical school environment promotes learning

by ensuring the health and safety of students and staff. The physical

school environment encompasses the school building and its

contents, the land on which the school is located, and the area

surrounding it.

The importance of Project S.A.F.E Park is to implement the

importance of awareness about Project S.A.F.E program of the school

in terms of health and safety.

A well maintained school provides a safe and attractive learning

environment for students. Project S.A.F.E, however, can offer much

more than physical improvements to the school building and grounds.

Through cleaning and repainting the outside and inside of the school

and by planning a school park which provides students and teachers

Pmrms-northProjectS.A.F.Einthenewnormal 6
 an opportunity to take advantage of educational, personal

development and building opportunities.

The President Manuel A. Roxas Memorial School – North Project

S.A.F.E contributes to achieve Environment Friendly School

Focusing mainly with its purpose to promote the clean, green

beautification program in support to Child and Environment Friendly

school in partner ship with the Local Government Unit and other

stakeholders.
