A Pair of Socks, A Heart Full of Warmth · News · Hsinmin Elementary 新民國小

Director Chang Gao-Hua｜張理事張高華

After the new semester begins, this gift of love will be passed on through the children's own hands — to their beloved grandparents. It's a chance to encourage students to express their affection out loud and show their care in a real, tangible way.

A pair of socks may seem small, but it carries a big lesson: that love is meant to be spoken, and gratitude is meant to be shown. 🧡
