E4T @ Handel's 6/11
Hello Tulita Families!

At Back to School Night in September I stated that I hoped many of you would find moments of feeling proud during the school year. As parents, we should acknowledge our own moments of feeling proud just as our children need to find their moments of feeling proud. As your PTA President, I feel extremely proud. The financial support our community provided displayed confidence in the programs, field trips and assemblies we provided. We had numerous volunteers donate their time so that the children could participate in meaningful experiences. Tulita continues to have teachers and instructional staff arrive to work with thoughtful lesson plans so that students could grow socially, emotionally and intellectually. Our principal continues to support everyone at our school to work to the best of their abilities. Throughout the year we did not work for one, we worked for all. Thank you to those who participated, contributed and supported the PTA, Tulita, LiveWell and RBEF during this school year. May you enjoy some well deserved rest, while reflecting on your moments of feeling proud!

Community News
Is anyone else planning for summer and the battles technology might present us?! I am, but I'm fighting that battle with assistance! At PTA Convention I met Alon Shwartz, the CEO for  unGlue  . It is a company that advocates for balanced screen time. They have been kind enough to offer our families a discount for their app. Take some time to check it out! 

Too much screen time. It’s a problem all parents face. Now there’s a solution that gives kids the power to learn healthier habits — within your boundaries. It’s not about parental control. It’s about teaching them to manage their own time.
