Natural Leaders

We would like to share this opportunity to represent Twain Elementary as part of the Natural Leaders Academy. Natural Leaders is a group of family members who represent the BIPOC, refugee, immigrant and/or first generation families who would like to make connections and be involved in our school community. Natural Leaders is a program overseen by the Washington Alliance for Better Schools and acts as a support group for families as they navigate the school years. Please see this flyer for more information or email Susan at scuster@lwsd.org. Registration ends Monday, 10/14.
