Tucked away in the Hakozaki area of Fukuoka’s Minami Ward is the Furuoka Shiritsu Tsuruta Shogakko, or Tsuruta Elementary School as it’s known in English. This isn’t just any elementary school. It’s a place brimming with history, a place where the echoes of laughter and learning have resonated for decades. Furuoka Shiritsu Tsuruta Shogakko officially opened its doors in April 1979. Imagine those first students, stepping into brand new classrooms, full of hope and promise. The school quickly became a cornerstone of the community. A symbol of growth and future generations. Just a year later, in June 1980, a poignant panda statue was erected on the school grounds, commemorating a visit from beloved pandas. Can you picture those children, marveling at the statue, a reminder of a magical moment shared? Over the years, Furuoka Shiritsu Tsuruta Shogakko has continued to evolve. A public hall was added in 1983, providing a space for community gatherings and events. In 1984, students began cultivating a practice rice paddy, connecting them to the land and the cycle of life. A “school forest” was completed in 1987, offering a tranquil escape and a place for outdoor learning. The school celebrated its 10th anniversary in November 1988, a testament to its enduring presence in the community. Furuoka Shiritsu Tsuruta Shogakko even has its own school song, penned by Shigenobu Utsugi and composed by Harumi Okuyama. The song’s lyrics speak of the white peaks of Mount Aburayama reflected in the morning sun, the green winds blowing across the violet fields, and the clear waters of the Mikasa River. It’s a song of hope, hard work, and the pursuit of knowledge, a beautiful reflection of the school’s values. The school has undergone numerous renovations and upgrades. From computer rooms and a revamped gymnasium to a new west wing and a playground called the “Wai Wai Hiroba”, Furuoka Shiritsu Tsuruta Shogakko has adapted to the changing times while remaining true to its core mission of nurturing young minds.
