Parent Letter to elementary students...

Parents of elementary school students, you will receive this letter soon. Everyone else, we thought you might like to see it, too!

TPSF Prize Patrol 2016

Funding for education has everyone feeling "inside out" these days. Tahlequah Public Schools Foundation is a group of volunteers who raise money to fund grants for schools. Thanks to the donations from our generous community, we were able to announce the grant recipients on Friday, January 21, 2015.  

It appears the cast of Inside Out joined TPSF members to congratulate the teachers!

We visited morning assemblies and dropped by classrooms.

Mrs. Freise received her grant for iPads to help Speech Language Therapy in all schools

Grant Applications

Hey, Tahlequah teachers! 

Can we provide something for your classroom to enhance the educational experience? 

Go to our website and complete the application. 

Good luck!

School days begin soon!

The mingled scent of Elmer's Glue, crayons, and construction paper is in the air. Before long, yellow school buses will slow traffic so the youth of our community can head off to school toting large backpacks, musical instruments, and athletic equipment.

School starts soon, and the Tahlequah Public Schools Foundation wants to help make it a great year.

We ended the 1010-2011 school year by awarding grants to hard working educators.
