From a temple classroom to a modern campus.
Songzhu Elementary's history stretches back to 1904, when it began as a branch classroom of Dayan Public School held inside the Sizhangli Wenchang Temple. It was renamed Sanfenpu Public School in 1913, then Beitun Public School in 1921, before finally taking its current name in 1968. Today it is one of the oldest and largest schools in this Beitun batch, with roughly 55 classes and about 1,469 students, blending traditional folk sports with modern digital-age clubs.
松竹國小的歷史可追溯至1904年，最初是大雅公學校的分教場，設於四張犁文昌廟內上課。1913年改名三份埔公學校，1921年再改名北屯公學校，1968年正式定名為現今校名。如今學校規模為北屯區這批學校中歷史最悠久、規模最大者之一，約55班、1,469名學生，融合傳統民俗技藝與現代數位社團。
