🌿 VSOP ADVISORY
EXTENDED WELLNESS & FAMILY BREAK
Dear VSOP Parents, Guardians, Learners, and Members of the School Community,
In observance of National Family Week and “Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga” Day, the Village School of Parkwoods will extend its Wellness Break through Monday, September 28, 2026.
VSOP is honoring Memorandum Circular No. 136, s. 2026, issued by the Office of the President, which suspends work in government offices beginning at 1:00 PM on September 28 and encourages the private sector to support the observance of National Family Week, giving Filipino families an opportunity to spend meaningful time together.
More than extending the break, VSOP would like our learners to understand and experience the value behind this national observance.
We encourage every VSOP family, whenever possible, to prepare a meal together, sit around the same table, and eat together as a family. Let our children experience that family meals are not merely about food. They are opportunities to talk, listen, share stories, strengthen relationships, practice gratitude, and simply enjoy one another’s presence.
As a school, we believe that some of the most important lessons our children learn are taught not only inside the classroom, but also at home and around the family table.
We therefore ask our learners to make this extended Wellness Break meaningful: rest, reconnect with your family, help prepare a meal, put the gadgets aside for a while, and enjoy eating together.
Let us honor the spirit of the President’s directive by giving our children something increasingly precious in our busy lives—time with family.
💚 Rest together. Prepare together. Eat together. Talk together. Be a family.
Happy National Family Week, VSOP!
