I want to congratulate all of our Spelling Bee participants this year. In our final bee today Charlotte and Julian took first and second place and will represent Tular in the county spelling bee, and Maise and Olivia are our alternates. Way to go you four!
Yearbook Needs Pictures
Kinder and TK Registration Open for Next Year
If you have a kinder or TK student for next year, it is time to register. Also, if you know of anyone in our community who has a TK or Kinder student, please spread the word to register. The sooner people register the better we can plan for next year. So please register as soon as possible. You can find registration information on our website. If you are a TK parent, you must first contact Carmelo first at 624-8047 to learn about the TK options.
Bobcat Family Dance March 24
Everyone is invited to our Bobcat Family Dance. At the dance students will be showing off their dance skills and we will be inviting families to learn some dances as well. There will also be food available for purchase throughout the night (Big Sur Taco and Pizza) and we ask people to bring cookies/brownies (non-messy finger desserts) to share on our potluck dessert table. Everyone is welcome to come anytime between 5:00-8:00. Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade will be starting their dance demos at 5:30 and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will start their dance demos at 6:30. We changed things up this year and all students learned square and line dances so it will be a Ho Down for all ages. This is an event that you don’t want to miss!
Lost and Found Overflowing
Are you wondering where your child’s jacket went? Our lost and found is overflowing. Please come check it.
Message from PTO
Thank you to everyone who came to our PTO meeting on Thursday morning. Our next meeting will be Wed, April 5, at 6:30 at the Community Center and via zoom. We are starting to plan our Spring Fling fundraiser and need help. If you are interested in helping, please contact Gina at ginanucci@gmail.com. We are also needing to fill multiple positions for next year including on our executive team. If you are wanting to take more of an active role in our PTO next year, please reach out to Gina as well.

Reading At Home
While Reading and No Screens Week is over, I hope that families will continue to find ways of promoting reading and limiting screen time in your home. Next to family mealtime, having that reading time set aside for kids, and adults, in your house is vital to your child’s success in school. This is especially true if your child is struggling to read. I was in a meeting with Mrs. Weist recently and she had a great analogy for reading time in the home. She said improving your reading is like brushing your teeth (stay with me here). You can’t ignore it through the week and then make it up on the weekend. In order for students to become better readers, like effectively brushing your teeth, you have to do it daily. I hope that all of our families have that daily time set aside for your students to read (or be read to).
