(June 6, 2025)  On June 6, the Changhua County Tax Bureau visited Mingjheng Elementary School to teach students about taxes in a fun and easy way.

The activity took place in the school gym. Students sat together and listened to a speaker who showed pictures and slides. They learned where tax money comes from and why it’s important. The talk covered different types of taxes, like house tax, car license tax, and fuel tax.

The speaker also explained why we should always ask for a receipt when we buy something. Receipts help keep track of money and can even win prizes!

At the end of the session, there were fun questions and small prizes. Students now have a better idea of how tax money helps build schools, parks, and roads for everyone.

(June 5, 2025) Mingjheng Elementary School is working hard to become a Health Promoting School by teaching students how to stay healthy and strong. The school is encouraging all children to follow the 85210 health goals—simple daily habits that help students feel better, grow stronger, and stay focused.

Here’s what 85210 means:

• 8: Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night

• 5: Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day

• 2: Spend less than 2 hours on screens after school

• 1: Exercise for 1 hour every day

• 0: Drink plain water and say no to sugary drinks
  
  

With colorful posters on campus and fun reminders in class, students are learning that “My Health Code is in My Hands!” By making small changes every day, they’re building healthy habits for a brighter future.

(June 5th, 2025) Today, Mingjheng Elementary School took part in the press event for the launch of the Changhua International English Village and Educational Resource Center.

Thanks to the strong support from the Changhua County Government, Mingjheng received a grant of NT$600,000 to improve its English learning environment. The funding will be used to upgrade technology and equipment, helping students learn English in more engaging ways.

With the growing wave of AI, Mingjheng Elementary continues to advance. By integrating AR/VR technology and upgrading English learning tools, students now enjoy a richer, more interactive language experience.

We’re excited to build a bridge to the world—one step at a time!

(May 29, 2025) Today, six senior-grade classes at Mingjheng Elementary School took part in a special rice dumpling-making activity to care for the elderly in their community.

Thanks to the support of the Huashan Foundation, the Xiushui Farmers’ Association, and our dedicated school volunteers, students got the chance to learn about traditional culture while making sticky rice dumplings (zongzi) by hand.

While enjoying the fun of wrapping zongzi, students also collected and donated receipts to help raise funds for seniors in need. It was a meaningful way to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival—through hands-on experience, giving, and teamwork.

Let’s wrap dumplings, share love, and pass on tradition together!

 (May 21, 2025)  This morning, the Kangshan Foundation invited the “Lunchbox Hero” drama troupe to Mingjheng Elementary School to perform for 1st and 2nd grade students.

The show, titled Lunchbox Hero vs. the Sugar Witch, taught students the importance of balanced meals, eating more fruits and vegetables, and limiting sugar. Through fun characters and colorful costumes, the students learned how to make healthy food choices—while laughing and joining in the show!

The interactive performance helped students understand how to read nutrition labels and why daily fruit and veggie intake is important. With the school’s new activity center, students now enjoy better spaces for events—and even more exciting learning opportunities!

On May 21, nurses Chen Pei-Chun and Chen Ying-Chun from Changhua Christian Hospital visited Mingzheng Elementary School to lead a special program called “Little Toothbrushing Angels.”

The nurses taught students how to take care of their teeth, choose the right toothbrush and toothpaste, and brush properly. They used a special dye to show plaque on the teeth so students could see how well they were brushing.

This time, instead of going to the sink, students brushed their teeth while sitting at their desks, using mirrors to check their brushing. This new “in-class toothbrushing” method is part of a health program to help lower the risk of cavities and keep kids safe during the pandemic.

The students enjoyed the lesson and learned a lot. Thanks to the team from Changhua Christian Hospital for bringing such a fun and helpful activity to our school!

On the morning of May 8, 2025, Mingjheng Elementary School welcomed very special guests—the Baishatun Mazu procession and her followers. Although the school is located on the opposite side of the pilgrimage route, Mazu still made a special detour to enter the campus. This marks the very first time that Baishatun Mazu has visited Mingzheng.

Teachers, students, and community members enthusiastically gathered on the sidewalks to cheer and invite the procession. The school arranged for those who wished to observe to join in, allowing students to experience Taiwan's local religious culture firsthand. Through this unique opportunity, they were able to better understand and appreciate traditional heritage.

A big thank you to Xiushui Township Mayor Lin Ying-jia and Mingzheng’s Parent Association President Mr. Zhong Yaoming for joining the event. Their presence made this cultural learning experience even more meaningful for the entire school community!

Thanks to the Guidance Office’s thoughtful planning and the support of Vision Humanities Studio, Mingjheng Elementary School had the honor of welcoming Rémy Gils, also known as "Yi Li Mi" (One Grain of Rice), from France.

On March 20, 2025, Rémy gave an inspiring talk to 5th and 6th graders, along with school volunteers, sharing his experiences and observations as a long-time volunteer in Taiwan and stories of life in France. This was his 145th session in Taiwan and his very first in Xiushui Township!

The session not only expanded the students’ global awareness but also made great use of the spacious activity center, creating an ideal learning atmosphere.

(March 4th, 2025) All 191 sixth-grade students from seven classes at Mingjheng Elementary School went on a fun and meaningful field trip today! Early in the morning, everyone got on tour buses and headed to two exciting places—the Shetou Hosiery Tourism Factory and the Xihu Sugar Refinery.

At the hosiery factory, students saw how colorful and patterned socks are made—from thread to the finished product. It was interesting to learn how something we wear every day is made step by step. After that, the students visited the Xihu Sugar Refinery, where they learned how sugar is produced. One of the highlights was riding the cute little train around the sugar factory!

This field trip was not only fun but also educational. Students learned more about local industries and different kinds of jobs in the community.

A big thank-you to the Guidance Office for applying to the Changhua County Government’s Technical and Vocational Education Rooting Program, and to all the sixth-grade homeroom teachers for planning and leading this trip. It was a great way for students to learn outside the classroom!
