🌸 HAPPY NATIONAL WOMEN’S MONTH 2026 🌸
EMPOWERED WOMEN

In celebration of National Women’s Month, Epifanio Delos Santos Elementary School proudly honors the strength, wisdom, and unwavering dedication of women who continue to shape our school and community.

Inspired by the Babayanlan, a symbol of courage, compassion, and leadership, we recognize that every woman carries the power to lead with integrity, nurture with care, and rise with resilience—whether in moments of success or challenges.

To our teachers, staff, parents, and learners: may we continue to stand as pillars of empowerment, equality, and hope. Together, let us create a future where every woman and every learner can thrive.

✨ Mabuhay ang kababaihan!
✨ We can be equal. We can be empowered.
