Ruth Tazelaar - "Mrs. T"
I’m a mother of four and a grandma of 16, two of whom attend school here at Ascension. I have worked at the Academy of Music and Movement for 25 years. I went to Timothy Christian High School and Trinity Christian College. I love working with kids and am excited to be a part of the EDP team!
EDP Is Giving Thanks

As part of our school's dedication to service this year, Extended Day students are creating Thanksgiving artwork to share with those in need of holiday cheer! Under the guidance of our amazing art teacher, Ms. Grimm, our students in the upper grades designed beautiful coloring pages for our emerging artists to use as templates. These coloring sheets will be delivered to local elder care facilities, and are sure to bring smiles to many faces :-) Keep an eye out for our Christmas designs, to come!
