The Walk-A-Thon is this Thursday (if the weather behaves) and we have already surpassed our $20,000 fundraising goal. This is amazing. Thank you to everyone who has raised funds so far for the Tuscan PTA. If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes to register your Tuscan Tiger here and reach out to friends and family to make pledges. There are only a few days to go! 

Walk-A-Thon Details: 

• When: Thursday, June 2, 9:00 am-11:00 am. (Rain date is June 9.)
• Where: Students will walk with their teachers on school grounds.
• What: Each grade will walk for approximately ½ hour. There will be music, water, giveaways, and more!

As a reminder, all students will participate regardless of fundraising status and participants are limited to students and Tuscan staff - unfortunately, spectators are not permitted on school grounds. 

 Please also check out our sponsors, local and Tuscan-parent-owned businesses, and show them your support: CKO, Little Apple Arts, The Kate Elliott Team, General Co-operative Store, Oh! Canary, and musician Stephane Wrembel. Huge thanks also to Mike Lehrer who will be the event DJ!

We need some volunteers to organize and attend the outdoor social for rising K parents for the in-person Kindergarten Orientation being held on Friday, June 10 this year. There will be multiple sessions and it will look different from years past, but we are so excited it will be in person! While the incoming K children are inside meeting with the teachers, their parents will be outside socializing. We plan to have some spirit wear for sale as well. 

The ask: For 4-6 current K parents with flexibility to attend morning and/or afternoon sessions. It would be great to have 4-6 for the morning and also for the afternoon. You'll be:

• Volunteering to join us on the lawn and purchase and bring some individually wrapped snacks and drinks (funded by the PTA) for the parents of the incoming K students. 

• The PTA has a small budget for this and once we identify parent volunteers, we can explain the budget and reimbursement process.

At the end of each school year, we organize gifts for all our amazing teachers and staff. Please watch for your class coordinators to send a note soon about gifting for your classroom teachers. In addition, the PTA board centrally collects to provide gifts for our ‘specials’ teachers (art, P.E., music, library and Spanish) and staff (including the front office, nurse, admins, academic interventionists, social workers, lunch aides, custodians and crossing guards,etc.) Click here by Friday, June 17 to contribute specifically to the specials teachers and staff gifts.

As the end of the school year approaches, don't forget to thank your Tuscan Tiger’s teachers and other staff members who have helped them navigate this year of transition back to in-person learning. Achieve makes it easy to show our dedicated teachers, administrators and support staff how much we value them and all they do for our students and our community.
