RIPPLES MAKE WAVES! PLEASE JOIN PTA!
"Ripples Make Waves" and we would love every Tulita student and parent to join the PTA for 2024-25. Please support and become a part of the organization that will bring so many fun experiences to YOUR child this year! So far we have over 600 members (amazing!) and many classes have been treated to a special celebration for reaching 100% membership.
You don't need to attend any meetings, volunteer for any events, or do anything else (even though we would love it if you can!) so if you can do only one thing PTA-related please just
JOIN US!
Memberships alone don't nearly cover the costs of putting on all our Tulita PTA events so we RELY on DONATIONS from parents and families. Any amount helps and will make it more likely that we can afford to do everything we've got planned this year. We're suggesting $50 per family, but whatever you can give is appreciated. Thank you Tulita families for supporting ALL of our kids with your donation!
You can click on the link above
OR if you want PTA to keep 100% of your donation without having to pay a transaction fee please drop a check (made payable to "Tulita PTA" with "Donation to PTA" in the memo) into the PTA drop box in the Tulita front office. Thank you!

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS (BoB)
BoB is a free, nationwide program which motivates students to read a diverse array of books. Any students in grades 3-5 are invited to join the program at Tulita. The kids read books from a published list over the course of 6 months, and then come together in March to use their knowledge of the texts to "battle" against each other in a team format. It's great fun!
Battle of the Books is around the corner and we are so excited to bring this fun, educational, and energetic event back to Tulita this spring. The 3rd grade battle will be held on Wednesday, March 12th and the 4th/5th grade battle will be held on Wednesday, March 19th at Tulita after school (approx. 1:30-4:00pm).
If your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade child would like to participate in a battle, please register them using the appropriate form in one of the links below. **All kids will need to be registered using this form, regardless of whether you signed them up for BoB at the start of the year.**
- 3rd Grade Battle Registration Form: CLICK HERE (DUE MARCH 3rd)
- 4th/5th Grade BattleRegistration Form: CLICK HERE (DUE MARCH 7th)
Please carefully review this form which contains important information. Also, be on the lookout for how to volunteer during the battles – we need your help to make them happen!
A list of the booklists can be found below and here: 3rd Grade Book List; 4th/5th Grade Book List. Third graders need to read a minimum of 8 out of 18 titles and 4th/5th graders need to read a minimum of 15 out of 28 titles to be eligible to participate in the battles in March.
Happy reading!
