Hello Tulita Families!
I hope this newsletter finds you and your family safe and healthy. As we approach the last month of the school year, I wanted to share some fun PTA activities that we have planned:
Virtual Book Fair:
As you may have already read, the PTA is holding a virtual book fair from
May 11th – May 22nd
in lieu of the Spring Book Fair the PTA had originally planned. The book fair will be held through Scholastic Books and the PTA will receive 25% of all book purchases back to support the school next year. There is absolutely no pressure to buy anything, but if you are looking for summer reading or to get a head start on Battle of Books for next year, be sure to check it out! The flyer below will have all the details as well as the BOB, Summer Reading, and Teacher Wish List books!
Multicultural Week:
Our wonderful Multicultural Committee, Marilyn Crawford and Clara Benali, will be organizing a virtual Multicultural Week from
May 26th – May 29th
. It will feature Tulita parents sharing video demos/tutorials, pictures, or slides of their cultural background as way to continue to celebrate our rich cultural diversity despite having to stay at home. Please check out the flyer below for more information on how to participate!
Zoo to You Assembly:
Many of our students (and teachers!) favorite assembly of the year is our annual Conservation Ambassadors Zoo to You assembly, timed around Earth Day. Because of the school closure, we had to cancel the in-person show but we were able to arrange for a special recorded taping just for Tulita students and their families! We will have more details as we get closer but for now, save the date for a virtual assembly on
Monday, June 8th
!!
Finally, there are a few PTA planning-related asks that I have of our parent community:
Parent Survey:
If you have not taken our PTA survey, please do! It is truly short, just
one
itty bitty question, but your feedback is so valuable to our planning! You can access the link on the Tulita App or by clicking
HERE
.
New Program Proposal:
Have an idea for a new program or assembly? I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to do it depending on the COVID-19 restrictions that may be in place during the school year but tell me anyway! If we can’t do it next year, maybe we can table it for the following year…either way, I’d love to hear all about it! The form is super easy and takes just a couple minutes – click
HERE
to submit an idea! We’ll also post the new program proposal to the Tulita App to make it even easier to find :)
Committee Chair Interest:
Want to get more involved? Sign up to chair a committee! You can even co-chair with a friend if taking on the role seems a little scary to do solo! We have several committee chair slots open – you can check them out and let us know you’re interested by clicking
HERE
. The form will also be posted to the Tulita App for easy reference.
A very BIG thank you to all our teachers and administrators and our families working the front lines in the medical community. We are forever grateful for your wisdom, flexibility, and courage. As always, thank you for your continued support and kindness. If you have any questions or concerns, I can always be reached at
