Have Fun in the Garden!
Hey folks! Once the school grounds reopen, we will need school families and friends to take care of the garden this Summer. There are 2 slots each week (for 2 families). This is a great way to share the work and have fun at the same time! Please continue to follow COVID distancing and mask guidelines. And make sure to harvest produce for you and your friends. We don't want anything to go to waste!
When school campuses open, jump on this sign up and get your slot. Or plan ahead, and sign up now using this link. Mrs. Soderquist will call to remind you when school campuses are reopened.

PTA Happenings
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first ever virtual PTA Meeting this week! We covered a lot and would like to recap a few things.
Your 2020-2021 PTA Board is:
Kimberley Andress and Natalie Hess: Co-Presidents
Julia Vickery- Treasurer
Anna Booth- VP of Fundraising and Events
Patty Camacho- Secretary
Melanie Lindsey- VP of Communication
Irene DeGiovanni- VP of Volunteers
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Amy Preston and Greg Young for their work with the board this past school year. The PTA would not be possible without all of our amazing volunteers…we are still looking to find a President-Elect for 2020-2021…or Co-Presidents…you would begin working with Natalie and Kim in August and shadow them throughout the school year so that you could take over in 2021-2022. Please let us know if you are interested. It is best to have someone in place prior to the school year starting.
We have approved our operating budget for 2020-2021, knowing that we may very well need to make adjustments.
As of now, our Auction and Teacher Experiences are postponed until the Fall. As we get additional information and guidance for the upcoming school year from the ODE and TTSD we will update you on details. However, if you had bought tickets and would like a refund or would like to donate that dollar amount to the PTA, or have any questions pertaining to these events, please reach out to us at TualatinPTA@gmail.com and we can assist you.
Our next meeting will be the end of August, hopefully in the school garden, but possibly virtually. Look for information regarding the date, time, and location.
Please follow us on our Facebook page if you are not doing so already. As always, any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! https://www.facebook.com/groups/TualatinElementaryPTA
It has been a pleasure getting to know many of you better over the school year. We believe that the challenges we face make us a better and stronger community. We are all so proud to be part of the Black Bear family.
