| About Us |
| Every child deserves and needs a complete education. At Tualatin Elementary,
we believe each child’s education consists of three important elements: |
 |
The Head
– what the child knows and understands,
The Heart – what the child feels and is passionate
about and,
The Hands – what the child is able to do
or perform with what is in their head and heart. |
|
We are committed to provide opportunities that support “Head,
Heart and Hands” for each and every one of our students.
Our school has 468 students. In our school 54% of our families qualify
for free or reduced lunch. Many of our students have not been able to
afford enrichment activities.
Tualatin Elementary Arts Foundation (T.E.A.F.) is a school enrichment
program with emphasis on academics and the arts. It is designed to provide
children with a variety of artistic, cultural, academic, recreational
classes and clubs. All activities take place beyond the regular school
day at Tualatin Elementary School. Our first term began in September 2002.
Current literature indicates increased time with the arts raises student
scores, and increases school attendance. For those reasons, T.E.A.F. thinks
it makes good sense to offer enrichment classes. An Executive Arts Committee
and an Advisory Staff Committee provide leadership and direction for T.E.A.F. |
