Songwu Elementary School

Songwu Elementary was founded in 1931, during the Showa era of Japanese rule, as "Songwu Public School." The entire school site was donated by the local Song (宋) clan, and historically over 100 of its roughly 600 students shared the Song surname — reportedly the highest concentration of Song-surnamed students at any school in Taoyuan City. The school has branded itself around a "plum blossom" (梅花) theme, and its campus features what is described as Taiwan's only plum-blossom-shaped slide, alongside an 80-plus-year-old green plum tree transplanted from the Miaoli mountains. It celebrated its 90th anniversary with the mayor praising its "forest school" environmental-education program.

宋屋國小創立於1931年，日治昭和6年，初名「宋屋公學校」。全校校地由地方宋氏家族捐贈興建，歷史上全校約600名學生中曾有逾百人姓宋——據稱是桃園市境內宋姓學生比例最高的學校。學校以「梅花」為主題意象，校園內設有號稱全台唯一的梅花造型溜滑梯，並有一棵從苗栗山區移植、樹齡逾80年的青梅樹。慶祝建校90週年時，市長特別讚揚本校的「森林小學」環境教育成果。
