🐾 Message from Your Tillicum PTA Co-Presidents🐾
 
Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year, Tillicum Families!
 
We’re KaΚ»ili and Zach Baker, and we’re excited to return as your PTA Co-Presidents this year. Whether you’re new to Tillicum or returning for another year, we’re so glad you’re part of this community.
 
At Tillicum PTA, our mission is to support students, staff, and families while promoting inclusion and building a strong school community. This year, we look forward to hosting fun events, creating opportunities to connect, and supporting our Tigers in every way we can. We’re also grateful for the incredible team of parents who make up this year’s elected PTA board, and we’re excited to work alongside them in service of our school.
 
We hope you’ll join us—whether by becoming a PTA member, volunteering your time, or simply showing up and connecting with others. Together, we can make this a wonderful year for our Tigers!

Help Stock the Tiger Store!
Help Stock the Tiger Store & Support Our Students!
 
For families who are new to Tillicum:

The Tiger Store is a fun, positive incentive program where students earn Tiger Points for good behavior, kindness, and responsibility. They can use these points to “shop” for prizes during lunch on Fridays. It’s a great way to encourage positive choices and reward students in a meaningful way!
 
The school is collecting fun, school-appropriate items that students can earn with their Tiger Points—and the PTA is helping facilitate donations and volunteers to make it all happen!
 
In the past, big-ticket items like Seahawks or Sounders tickets have been a huge hit—let’s keep the excitement going with prizes kids will love!
 
Here are some ideas for donations (but not limited to):
🎟 High-Interest Prizes (Bigger Rewards)
  • Sports tickets or a prize drawing (Seahawks, Mariners, Storm, Kraken, local college games)
  • Tech accessories: fun phone grips, earbuds, portable chargers
  • Mini speakers or Bluetooth keychain speakers
πŸ• Food & Treat Prizes
  • Hot chips: Takis, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
  • Instant noodles (super popular right now!)
  • Candy: Sour Patch Kids, Skittles, Hi-Chew, Pocky, Ramune soda
  • Drinks: Capri Suns, Prime, Gatorade, Boba
  • Pizza (coordinate with Ms. Giaroli)
✨ Fun & Trendy Items
  • Squishmallows (mini size)
  • Sticker packs (anime, sports, VSCO-style)
  • Keychains: Pokémon, Minecraft, K-pop, funny memes
  • Mini fidget toys: pop-its, stress balls, slimes
  • LED strip lights for rooms
  • Cute stationery: gel pens, mechanical pencils, aesthetic notebooks
How to Help:
