Last week, several of our students participated in the 2024 National Math Challenge Tournament! It was an exciting event and wonderful to see the enthusiasm and energy from students and their families. Our participation also helps further the excitement for learning math in our school and community.

Let's give a big round of applause to Eli Balanov-Druker, Nikhil Kartik, Alston Margetan, Mark Harris, Naomi Lu, Yaami Nair, Abhiram Selvaraj, Vivaan Goel, and Priscilla Yohan who attended the tournament.

Thank you to our volunteers: Janani Kartik, Matthew Harris, Archana Avula, Yohan Mammen, Kitty Chou...

Extra Round of EZ Grants Now Open

4/19/2024 11:03 am

The Twain PTSA EZ Grant Committee has added an additional round of grant openings! Applicants are invited to apply online NOW through May 3rd. Click here for information and the online form.

What is an EZ Grant? An EZ Grant request can be for a project, program or items that would be paid from PTSA funds. Grants will be awarded to support the Twain PTSA mission, as well as enhance the curriculum and dynamic learning environment of Twain Elementary. EZ Grants should have a long term impact rather than one-time events or experiences. Priority will be given to those with school-wide application.
