Caring for Our Campus · Grounds Maintenance · News · Hsinmin Elementary 新民國小

A clean and safe school campus doesn't happen by itself — it takes quiet, dedicated care. Hsinmin Elementary is grateful to Mr. Chen Xiping, the guardian of our school grounds, who recently gave up his personal time to fill in the road holes left by a fallen tree on Gongguan Road and to tidy up the school lawn.

A tidy and comfortable campus is the foundation of happy, productive learning for every child. Mr. Chen works steadily behind the scenes, paying close attention to every corner of the school grounds, so that students always have a safe, comfortable place to study and grow.

Every seemingly ordinary task is an indispensable force that protects our campus. Thank you, Mr. Chen Xiping, for ensuring that Hsinmin Elementary always looks its very best. 💚
