A notebook is a place to organize ideas and thoughts, keep track of memories, take chances, and have fun. In education, it enables students to be more deliberate in how they arrange and present their notes when using a notebook.

The Leaf
The Leaf
A page in a notebook is called a “leaf”. One notebook leaf is made up of cellulose fibres that are extracted from a variety of sources and converted to pulp. A pulp is combined with water and placed on a paper-making machine where it is flattened, dried, and cut into sheets and rolls. Each leaf, made with precision, can be the canvas of hope for a student. They can draw their dream house, write their future, or simply express their life.
In the last week of August 2022, hundreds of Pileño children will go back to school as the new academic year opens. But there are also many students who won't have sufficient school supplies to use, simply because their families do not have enough resources. This was the result of the recent survey held by Pila Elementary School to profile the families of the students using the indicators from the Basic Education Enrolment Form (BEEF) in preparation for the school year 2022-2023.
The Issue
The Issue
About 25-35% of the students from kinder to grade 6 have been categorized as belonging to marginalized families. During the school year 2021-2022 when the limited face-to-face classes were implemented, advisers report that their daily attendance only played around 80-85%. These students who were reported to have a higher number of absences also got lower grades. Most of these students reasoned that they leave or do not attend the classes because they ran out of basic school supplies like a notebook, pencils, etc. Parents also claimed that they somehow cannot provide these essential materials due to socio-economic factors. The pandemic was the primary reason for their parents to either lost their jobs or even businesses, hence, affecting their household capacity and access to learning. According to the website of Liberties (2021), the marginalized groups of people, including families, are less able to do things or access basic services or opportunities.

"The number of students who will be affected in the coming school year in terms of lacking school supplies should not be added, nor sustained. It should be lessened, if not eliminated at all." - Mam Rona

Hence, a project called THOUSAND LEAVES OF HOPE was established. It aims to provide essential school materials, primarily notebooks, that can be used by students who belong to marginalized families. It is expected that through this little project, the attendance and the performance of the students could be enhanced while making them realize that the school and the community are giving them hopes to achieve their goals.

Fostering school-community partnerships is crucial, according to Hogue (2012), because they are known to improve student and school achievement. Sanders (2012) argues in favor of this point of view by noting that while parental involvement in the community is frequently linked to community involvement, assistance from other community organizations is equally beneficial to the success of students and schools.
