Hello Tulita Families!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break with their families. It is hard to believe we are already in December and just a few weeks away from the holidays! Speaking of holidays, the Tulita PTA has partnered with RBUSD to sponsor 7 families through Project Unified – a program to provide local families in need with holiday gifts. If you have not yet signed up to sponsor a gift, I hope you consider donating by clicking HERE (also on the Tulita App) – we still have many wish list items open! The
deadline to drop it off in the front office is this Friday, Dec. 6th!

In addition, I want to thank Ali Daly and Jen Kisiler for leading up the charge to get our students inspired to participate in Reflections! We had 30 participants, more than ever before, work hard during their free time to create unique entries for the contest. Seven of those students received first-place awards and moved to compete at the Redondo Beach Council level!!

First Place in Primary Division:

Visual Arts: Aria Kim
Photography: Frank Thompson
Dance Choreography: Amelia Gonzales

First Place in Intermediate Division:

Visual Arts: Maci Salus
Photography: Era Hoey
Dance Choreography: Mallory Daly
Literature: Brian Daly

Any first-place winners at the RB Council level will move on to compete at the 33 rd District! The winner(s) from Tulita will be announced at this Friday’s (12/6) Town Hall!

Lastly, as we approach the two-week winter break, I would remind your student that long plane rides and lazy mornings are perfect opportunities to catch up on their Battle of the Books reading! It is not too late to sign up – 3rd graders need to read at least 8 books before the mock battle in February and 4th/5th graders need to read at least 15 books before their mock battle in March. More information about the program as well as the reading lists are available on the Tulita App!

- G ET TO KNOW YOUR PTA BOARD -

Hi Tulita! My name is Holly Rebbeck and I am the Recording Secretary for the PTA this year. My husband, Luke, and I have three kids: Sophie who is 10 and in 4th Grade, Joshua who is 8 and in 2nd Grade, and Darcey who is 4 and goes to Town & Country Preschool (but is oh so ready to start TK next year!)

I like to think I bring a bit of international glamour (well, international something) to the board as I’m originally from the UK. In 2012, my husband was offered a job working for Tesla and we moved over 5,000 miles away from home, family, friends, and people who understand me when I pronounce the ‘t’ in ‘water’, and we have never regretted it! We love the SoCal lifestyle and the wonderful people here, and we feel so lucky to live by the beach in such an amazing community.

I’m a stay-at-home mom, but in the precious spare time I have, I love running along the Strand, going for bike rides, and baking – elaborate birthday cakes for my kids are my favorite! As a family we love to go camping, hiking in the hills around LA, and surfing at the beach.

I’m having fun serving on the PTA Board this year and hope that I can help make our amazing school even better for our kids. Go Tidalwaves!
