Rebuilt after disaster, with help from afar.
Zhulin Elementary was founded in 1960, its campus built partly with donations from overseas Chinese communities following the catastrophic "87 Flood" of August 1959, one of Taiwan's worst natural disasters of the era. The school has since celebrated its 60th anniversary and today runs a gifted program alongside a jump-rope team, string orchestra, choir, baseball, and badminton programs.
竹林國小創立於民國49年（1960年），校舍部分經費來自海外華僑於民國48年（1959年）「八七水災」——當時台灣最嚴重的天災之一——後的捐款重建。學校已慶祝建校60週年，目前設有資優班，並發展跳繩隊、絃樂團、合唱團、棒球隊及羽球隊等特色課程。
