Vida Elementary School Purulhá kindergarten

Your class is learning a lot this year! In kindergarten, the students are learning to acknowledge that God loves them and has good plans for their lives. They are learning to express love for God and their neighbor and to recognize their own uniqueness, and show gratitude for their gifts and talents. They are practicing values and courtesy in their daily lives and demonstrating their creative abilities. The kindergarten students are learning to exhibit indepence by engaging in activities such as coloring, cutting, writing their names, tying their shoelaces, buttoning, personal care and hygiene, and maintaining order. They are continuing to learn their alphabet and are learning age-appropriate logical-mathematical thinking skills, including recognizing and writing the numbers from 1 to 30.

Vida Elementary School Purulhá

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Elementary School Purulhá in Purulhá, a small town located approximately a 25-minute drive southeast of Tactic. The public schools are filled to capacity with only 1,200 of the 10,000 school aged children from the area. This means that 8,800 school spaces are needed. The mayor of Purulhá implored us to plant a school in his community, and he donated a large piece of land to Impact Ministries for the construction of a school. We opened the doors of the school in January 2007 and provide an elementary program for approximately 150 students from Preschool to Grade 7. Most of these children come from needy and broken homes our hope and goal are to raise them up to be leaders who serve Him and influence the community around them.
