Elements of Education Partners funds programs for more than 1,500 students at The Tacoma School of the Arts (SOTA), The Science and Math Institute (SAMI) and Stewart Middle School. Funds raised by the Partners are used to hire professional artists from our community to work as adjunct instructors alongside classroom teachers. The mission of Ee is to connect students to the community by fostering partnerships with arts organizations, cultural institutions and environmental conservation efforts. To accomplish these goals, they create opportunities for students to overcome the achievement gap in public schools by providing high-quality experiences linking classroom learning to the world at large. They believe that innovation and creativity are as essential as literacy and learning must matter for every student.
