Principal Zhang and students at the track

Open windows on either side of the classrrom are their only air conditioning.
There are great smiles no matter what the weather is!

The fencing is to keep cars out of the front entrance, not people! 

Four floors of great learning!


Surrounded by the apartment homes of the students!
Parents and Grandparents can keep a close eye on the school!

A pretty courtyard looks out on the track

Another pretty courtyard area

Students have their backpacks ready to go home when they return from their P.E. class.

The teachers share an office down the hallway.  They travel to the student classes.  Six teachers share this office.  Teachers teach classes half of the day and the other half they spend grading papers and preparing lessons. 
Shengli Primary School also sent students home on Thursday afternoons so the teachers could collaborate and attend workshops.
