Twain PTSA wants to hear from you!

Please help us rate the events and programs that are run by the PTSA at Mark Twain.

We have a limited volunteer base that has been stretched pretty thin this year, so we may need to cancel or scale down some events and programs next year.

We'd like to make sure that we are keeping the events and programs that our community loves, so please take a few minutes to complete this survey --Twain PTSA Planning Survey

Thanks and Farewell to Mr. Mott

The PTSA would like to thank Mr. Mott for 11 years of service developing our thinkers, problem solvers and lifelong learners.

Mr. Mott's inspirational leadership has not only shaped each student’s education at Mark Twain Elementary but has also created an environment in which students and teachers have been able to succeed. The way Mr. Mott has managed to take care of the students, teachers, staff and PTSA for so long has left a benchmark on many of us. He is truly an inspiration.

We wish Mr. Mott the best in his new endeavors. He will stay in our hearts as we continue to honor his legacy. We all will...

Thank you, Art Docents & Teachers for an amazing year of art education!

Thank you to all the amazing Teachers and Art Docents that have made this year's Explore Art Program a success!

We had a huge undertaking to bring in-person art curriculum back to Twain this year. Our docents, with teacher support, have led monthly lessons inspired by various artists and mediums, including those from the Northwest Arts Collection that visited our school in February.

We are so fortunate to have a strong team that allowed us to provide such a well-rounded art education to all of our Mark Twain students. We couldn't have done it without help from each and every one of you!
