Prior to the opening program, a parade was conducted around the community, showcasing the spirit of volunteerism, unity, and bayanihan among the participants. The parade served as a call for community involvement and support for the annual Brigada Eskwela initiative.
The program formally began with an invocation led by Ms. Nolene Viv I. Bajado, followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem conducted by Ms. Queeneelyn Cano and accompanied by the BNHS Marching Band.

This was followed by the message of the school principal, Mr. Michael R. Alcala, who thanked all individuals and organizations that extended their support to the program. He reiterated the school's goal of creating a safe and child-friendly environment for learners. He also encouraged everyone to uphold the spirit of volunteerism, unity, and bayanihan, emphasizing that every contribution and presence is highly valued by the school community.
