NMES Welcome Monument Gets a New Look Through Bagasol Family Support

SANCHEZ MIRA, CAGAYAN — The Welcome Monument of Nagrangtayan–Magacan Elementary School (NMES) has been improved through the generosity of the family of the late former Barangay Captain Severino Bagasol, giving the school grounds a renewed and more welcoming appearance.
Located a few meters beyond the school gate, the improved monument now serves as a prominent landmark that welcomes learners, parents, teachers, stakeholders, and visitors as they enter the campus.
The project also honors the legacy of the late Barangay Captain Bagasol, whose family extended their support to NMES through the improvement of one of the school’s prominent structures.
Beyond its physical improvement, the project highlights the partnership between the school and the community in supporting a better learning environment for pupils.
The renewed monument now stands within the school grounds as a symbol of generosity, community support, and shared commitment to the continuous improvement of NMES.
The NMES community expressed its appreciation to the Bagasol family for their contribution, which adds another meaningful mark to the school’s journey of “NMES: Making Names.”

A Legacy of Love: The Scouts Nook Gets a Meaningful Transformation

Nagrangtayan-Magacan Elementary School (NMES) continues to witness how kindness, gratitude, and a deep sense of community can create a lasting legacy, as the school’s Scouts Nook undergoes a major improvement and beautification through the generosity of the family of the late Mrs. Saniata O. Battulayan, a retired Teacher III of NMES.
The project is more than just an improvement to a school facility. It is a heartfelt tribute to a teacher whose years of dedicated service to education and to the NMES community continue to be remembered with love and gratitude.
For the Battulayan family, their decision to extend this meaningful contribution to NMES was deeply inspired by the love and appreciation shown by the school family to their mother while she was still alive.
They fondly recalled how the NMES teaching staff never failed to remember Mrs. Battulayan during Teacher’s Day. The teachers would greet her and even give her a cake as a simple yet heartfelt gesture of appreciation. Though these acts may have seemed small, they touched the family deeply and became treasured memories of how much their mother continued to be valued by the school she had served.
These expressions of love did not go unnoticed. Years later, they became part of the inspiration behind the family’s desire to give something meaningful back to NMES.
The family became even more excited and happy about pursuing the project when they learned of their special connection to the school through a relative – Sir Joey G. Macamus, Principal III , a proud product of Nagrangtayan-Magacan Elementary School, the very school where Mrs. Battulayan once taught and served.
This connection made the project even more meaningful for the Battulayan family. It beautifully linked the legacy of a former teacher with the continuing journey of a former learner who returned to serve the same school as its school head.
However, following the reshuffling of school heads within the district, Dr. Macamus was reassigned, and Mrs. Jane S. Mackay, Principal II, assumed the leadership of Nagrangtayan–Magacan Elementary School. Under her leadership, Mrs. Mackay took charge of the implementation of the Scouts Nook improvement and beautification project. She was hands-on in refining the design, overseeing the landscaping, and personally ensuring that every detail of the project was carried out, transforming the space into a more welcoming and meaningful area while fulfilling the Battulayan family’s generous intention.
Through the collaborative efforts of the school and the Battulayan family, the Scouts Nook has been transformed into a more beautiful, welcoming, and functional space for learners, particularly for the school’s Scouts. More importantly, it now stands as a visible reminder of Ma'am Saniata’s dedication and the lasting relationships she built throughout her years in the teaching profession.
The project is a beautiful testament to the fact that the impact of a teacher does not end when she retires or leaves the classroom. The lessons she imparted, the relationships she nurtured, and the love she shared continue to live on—in the hearts of former learners, colleagues, families, and the community she served.
Nagrangtayan-Magacan Elementary School expresses its deepest appreciation to the Battulayan family for this generous and meaningful contribution. The school also recognizes the leadership of Sir Joey G. Macamus for helping set the project in motion and Ma’am. Jane S. Mackay for continuing its implementation and bringing the project forward despite the transition in school leadership.
Your kindness has not only beautified a part of our school but has also given Mrs. Battulayan’s memory a special place where future generations of Scouts can learn, serve, lead, and grow.
Indeed, love has a way of coming full circle.
The love once shown to a beloved teacher has returned to the school through the generosity of her family, creating a legacy that will continue to inspire.
Mrs. Saniata O. Battulayan’s legacy lives on - not only in the memories of those who knew and loved her, but also in a beautiful space where young learners will continue to learn, serve, lead, and make NaMES.
Thank you, Battulayan Family, for this lasting gift of love, gratitude, and remembrance to the NMES family.

With heartfelt gratitude and fond remembrance,
NMES Family

A SIMPLE BUT MEANINGFUL TRIBUTE TO MA’AM NIMFA

Some milestones do not need a grand celebration. Sometimes, the most meaningful send-off is simply being together -sharing stories, laughter, memories, and heartfelt gratitude.

After 37 years of faithful and dedicated service to the Department of Education, our dear Ma’am Nimfa O. Labucay, has reached a well-deserved milestone in her journey as an educator.

Thirty-seven years is more than a number. It represents a legacy of dedication, commitment, perseverance, and love for teaching and for the learners she has served. Through the years, Ma’am Nimfa has touched countless lives, built meaningful friendships, shared her wisdom and kindness, and created memories that will remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of working with her.

Yet, despite the significance of this milestone, Ma’am Nimfa has always preferred to keep things simple and meaningful. She gently expressed her wish not to have a formal retirement program filled with long speeches and ceremonies.

We respected her wish. But as her colleagues and family at Nagrangtayan-Magacan Elementary School, we could not let such an important milestone pass without expressing our gratitude for the 37 wonderful years she devoted to the teaching profession.
So, instead of bringing her to a formal program, we brought the celebration to her home. We shared a simple meal, presented a certificate of appreciation, and, most importantly, spent precious time together.

There were no grand ceremonies and no long speeches. Instead, there were stories, laughter, shared memories, warm conversations, and genuine expressions of gratitude. It was a simple gathering, but one filled with love and appreciation.

Ma’am Nimfa, thank you for your 37 years of dedicated service, wisdom, kindness, friendship, patience, and countless memories. Thank you for being part of the NMES family and for leaving a meaningful mark on the lives of the learners, teachers, and people you have encountered throughout your journey.

As you begin this new chapter, may retirement give you more time for yourself, your family, and the things that bring you happiness and peace. May you enjoy quiet mornings, joyful moments, meaningful days, and the freedom to simply savor life after years of dedicated service.

As you look back, may you remember the friendships, laughter, lessons, challenges overcome, accomplishments, and beautiful memories that made your journey worthwhile.

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement, Ma’am Nimfa!

Your NMES family will surely miss you, but we are happy and grateful to have been part of your remarkable journey.

May this new chapter be filled with peace, happiness, good health, family time, and beautiful memories.

Happy Retirement, Ma’am Nimfa!

Thirty-seven years of service. A lifetime of memories. A legacy that will remain.

With love and gratitude,
Your Nagrangtayan-Magacan Elementary School Family
