As Thanksgiving has come to a close, we would be remiss to not thank our amazing volunteers who donate their spare time and money, their energy and creativity, to support and execute our PTSA programs.

Our volunteers come up with fantastic events- adding gardening and dance lessons to our school days and sewing and school plays to our weeknights. They comb kids' hair for picture day and run art lessons every month. They offer up homemade goodies and store bought snacks for our staff. Our volunteers work behind the scenes designing graphics, setting up our online stores, doing data entry, and creating our yearbook. They stay late to clean up after events.

Twain PTSA volunteers model to our children what it means to contribute to a community. Twain PTSA volunteers do it all. We are so appreciative and proud of you all.

Thank you.

Staff Appreciation Cookie Gifting Event

11/22/2024 7:52 am

Our annual Cookie Gifting Event is one of our signature Twain PTSA events and likely the most highly anticipated staff appreciation events of the year.

On December 11, we will treat each staff member to a variety box of one dozen cookies of their choosing to take home.

We need lots of cookies and volunteers! There are about 85 Twain staff, so we're hoping we can get at least 85 dozen cookies.

Volunteers are needed to help set up, prepare cookie boxes and clean up. Click here to see the sign up. It should be a really fun day! Feel free to send this sign up along to other community members you know who like to bake.

Donate to the No Hassle Fundraiser

11/21/2024 6:07 am

Every year, Twain PTSA plans, executes, and funds a wide variety of programs that enhance our school community. The amount we need to fully fund this school year’s programs is $20,000.

If you haven't had a chance this year, please show your support and give. Our annual No Hassle Fundraiser, which simply asks for direct donations from families, is our most important fundraising effort and the most efficient way you can make an impact.
