MES Waste Management Project

April 1, 2026. Malekkeg Elementary School personnel are deeply grateful for the ₱23,000.00 from Masisit Dacal Livelihood and Multipurpose Cooperative (MASCOOP) Abulug, Cagayan, through the assistance of their branch manager Mrs. Sharon Rose R. Bitun-Ganotice to support our school's project on waste management. This amount will help enhance the school waste management systems, promote proper segregation practices, and create a cleaner, healthier learning environment for all learners and teachers.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation also to Mr. Zoilo Ballesteros, one of the BOD, Mrs. Ganotice, and the entire MASCOOP for your generosity, commitment to education and schools' development.

Together, we are building a better future for our learners and our environment.

Women's Month Celebration

March 19, 2026. Malekkeg Elementary School celebrated Women’s Month, starting with an insightful lecture by Remilina B. Barsatan for all our learners. The session focused on empowerment and respect, giving the learners a deeper understanding of the importance of this month. It was wonderful to see the children so attentive and engaged throughout the discussion.

Following the lecture, the teachers distributed snacks to all the learners as a nice treat. This small shared snack was a great way to transition into the final part of our program. To end the day with high energy, the entire teaching staff of Malekkeg Elementary School led everyone in a fun Zumba dance, bringing smiles and laughter to all.

PSMS Jennilyn Be. Gaboy, PSSG Angelo Jay Catabay, Jemmy Shariff a M. Alangan, Dhyssie V. Tabios and Beth M. Dagdagan.

This activity is a key to ensuring our learners are protected, healthy, and well-informed as they grow.

The school flagpole project finally stood tall last December 2025. Teaching staff and parents of Malekkeg Elementary School are incredibly grateful to the Barangay Council, led by Punong Barangay Romeo Guillermo and the seven (7) Kagawads, for approving the project and providing ₱35,000.00 for construction materials. This first phase of the project is a realization of a request originally made by the former school head, Elizabeth Guillermo.

Special thanks to SPTA President Romer Dela Cruz for coordinating with Mam Jeaza Gem M. Cabigas, PESO, and to Mayor Evelyn B. Martinez for approving the TUPAD labor that built this structure. It’s a proud moment for our school to see the flag flying high, thanks to the combined efforts of our local government and school leaders. This landmark truly symbolizes our community's unity and patriotism.

Finally the school’s covered walk is officially complete! This project, initiated and driven by our dedicated SPTA officers, is now ready to provide shelter and comfort to everyone. It comes at the perfect time, as our learners and parents will be able to use it during the upcoming closing program.
