Vida Elementary School Purulhá grade five

Your class is learning a lot this year! In Grade 5, the students are discovering what it means to belong to the Body of Christ and learning to rely on the power of God to face daily challenges. They demonstrate a keen interest in learning to live according to biblical principles and moral, ethical and civic values, and they are also learning to understand the Bible’s structure. In Grade 5, students are continuing to work on math concepts such as fractions, ratios, proportions and decimals. They are learning to write well-structured paragraphs and to express emotions, feelings and thoughts through oral presentations, dramas and songs. They are learning to use science and technology, previous knowledge and research to creatively propose solutions for real-world issues.

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.
