Dear Sir Parcon,

Greetings of peace.

We, the group of NSTP-CWTS students of S.Y. 2023-2024 named, Team Beige is
proposing a project named LONA under the advocacy “Quality Education”.

A pleasant environment is important for us as it affects our mood, well-being, and

overall quality of life. The environment for studying is a huge part on contributing how much
lesson is being learned by students. The term LONA is an abbreviation for Learning on
Nurturing Area. We the Team Beige seeks to improve students' educational experiences
through enhancing their study area. A room in the College of Engineering, room CET 104,
has caught our attention due to its damaged wall causing water leakage and flood in the room
that hinders the learning abilities of students. This problem is an immediate call to action due
to the unpredictable weather cause by our mother nature. The current damaged wall present
in the room CET 104 will be replaced by a much durable material. As for the water leakage,
a new passage way will be provided to avoid future damages on the new wall. For the funds
of this project, a fundraising of selling of food items throughout the campus of Western State
Mindanao University will be implemented by the team.

Along this line, we would like to seek approval for the project implantation as this
would immediately benefit hundreds of students utilizing the room CET 104. Attached to this
letter is the Background information of the project being proposed.

Anticipating your favorable response to this request. Thank you and God bless!
Respectfully yours,

Team Beige

 Introduction

A pleasant environment is important for us as it affects our mood, well-being, and

overall quality of life. A pleasant environment can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and

enhance productivity.

The environment for studying is a huge part on contributing how much lesson is being

learned by students. Students prefer places where they can focus much more and feel

comfortable while learning. This could be in their bedrooms, the library, or even just in a

clean and quiet classroom. These different environments help the achieve learning in an

efficient way. That’s why there are called study areas or study spaces because these

environments meet the standards of having a suitable place of learning substantially.

A good study environment for most students requires proper lighting, comfortable

room temperature, minimal noise, accessible internet, a decent desk, clean area, and many

more that gives the students comfort and accessibility of materials and resources. If the

environment where students study and do their schoolwork is clean and quiet then the

students are more likely to learn more and finish their schoolwork better. The learning

environment dramatically affects the learning quality of students.

The term LONA is an abbreviation for Learning on Nurturing Area. We the Team

Beige seeks to improve students' educational experiences through enhancing their study area.
 Project Description

Background of the Project

Optimizing Learning Quality through Enhancing Learning Environment," an advocacy

project, seeks to improve students' educational experiences.

A room in the College of Engineering, room CET 104, has caught our attention due to

its damaged wall that cause water leakage and flood in the room. This has become a

significant hindrance to students specifically the Civil Engineering students that mostly

utilize this room.

This problem is an immediate call to action due to the unpredictable weather cause by our

mother nature.

Objective and Goals of the project

The overarching goal of this project is to elevate the physical environment of Room

CET 104, addressing its structural aspect. By fostering collaboration, sustainability, and

community involvement, this project aims to create comfortable learning environment that

promote student well-being and provide an enriched learning experience.

Justification of the Project

Students learning in poor environments – those that are uncomfortable, loud, or full of

distractions – will find it far more difficult to absorb information and stay engaged (Hendrix,

How your surroundings affect The way you study 2019).

Schools' open space and noise, inappropriate temperature, insufficient light,

overcrowded classes, misplaced boards, and inappropriate classroom layout all make up

factors that could be confounding variables distracting students in a class (Gilav,

Investigating the impact of environmental factors on learning and academic achievement of

Elementary Students: Review 2019).

If students are in a noisy and distracting environment, it will be difficult for them to

focus on what they’re being taught. A regular occurrence like this could be detrimental to

students’ academic performance because it would cause them to put in less effort than they

should have been required to throughout the learning process (Team, How does surroundings

affect students learning? 2023).

Several factors can affect learning ability, including seating, light, noise, and even colour.

Students who study in a positive learning environment have been shown to be more

motivated, engaged, and have a higher overall learning ability. On the other hand, students

learning in poor environments – those that are uncomfortable, loud, or full of distractions –

will find it far more difficult to absorb information and stay engaged (Hendrix, How your

surroundings affect The way you study 2019).

Benefits of the Project

The main benefit of this project is that the students who utilized the room CET 104

will not be disturb by the unpredictable rain blessed by our mother nature. Another benefit of

this project is that the students will be more motivated to partake in the lessons being shared

to them.

Coverage of the Project

The coverage of the project covers the College of Engineering Department from

Western Mindanao State University by optimizing the learning quality through amplifying

educational environments. It focuses on addressing room renovation of wall for room CET

104 due to water leakage.

 Methodology

Source of Funds

The source of the funds for this project is through selling of food items throughout the

campus of Western State Mindanao University. The following items are to be sold for the

fundraising of this project:

 Biscuits

 Cupcakes

 Juice in DIY pack

 Ice Candy

 Chocolate Bar

 Candys

 Curls

Process of Renovation

The current damaged wall present in the room CET 104 will be replaced by a much

durable material. As for the water leakage, a new passage way will be provided to avoid

future damages on the new wall.

Length of Implementation
 This project will begin as soon it is approved for implementation. Part of the project’s

implementation is the fundraising. This project will be implemented at a maximum of 5

weeks.
