From Principal Wilken
Dear Tully Families & Community,
What an amazing year we had! As the 23-24 school year comes to an end, I want to thank you all for a fantastic year. Our family events were a lot of fun and it was great to bring back the Winter Carnival.
Our students and teachers worked extremely hard preparing for end-of-the-year assessments. Parents, thank you for talking to your students at home about the importance of the state tests and making sure they were at school and on time on test days.
Thank you again for another great year at Tully!

🏫Updates from the Front Office
Hi Parents
Glenda and I would like to thank all of you for another wonderful year! 100% of our returning students have registered and once again Tully is the first school in the district to achieve this. We couldn't have done it without you. The office will be open in June if you have any questions or concerns for the new school year. We look forward to seeing you in the fall and wish you a restful and safe summer.

Tully is Growing Green
Tully’s Growing Green
It has been a beautiful spring here in Tucson! According to weather.gov, it has the been the 8th wettest January to April on record – yay rain – and the Tully Garden is responding well to the moisture. Flowers on our peach and pomegranate trees have bloomed, they have been pollinated, and are now growing fruits; students have enjoyed observing crane flies, ladybugs, and other insects; and our Desert Tortoise has emerged from their burrow and is feasting on the bounty of Mallow leaves and Ruellia flowers. But the tortoise is not the only one feasting, in our ecology and garden elective class, students harvested broccoli, greens, cilantro, and onions to decorate their handmade corn tortillas. Through the garden, students learn more about food and how food can be related to our human cultures. If you would like to share some ideas, knowledge, or questions relating to our garden program, please always feel free to email our ecology teacher and garden coordinator: andrew.stocker@tusd1.org Thank you!
