Do you have an idea for a project that could improve pedestrian, bicycle and/or auto safety in our neighborhood? Or maybe you've been thinking about a concept for an improvement that would make it safer for children to walk, bike, or ride the bus to school?

Bobcat Grams for Bobcat Thespians

11/14/2024 9:50 am

What better way to congratulate your budding actor on their school play performance than to send them a congratulatory note and flower! Purchase a Space Pirate Bobcat Gram and you'll do just that.

Do you have friends or family that would love to send their well wishes, but aren't able to attend the play? They can send a Bobcat Gram with flower!

Bobcat Grams that are purchased online by November 19th will be printed and delivered at the Cast Party. And don't forget, purchase play tickets by November 19 before prices go up!

The school is looking for parents interested in joining one of their committees. Please see this message from Principal Goodfellow:

At Twain we are looking to increase parent participation in our school committees: Equity, Safety, Restorative Practices, Assemblies & School-wide Celebrations. Our regular schedule is to meet in the mornings before school (8:00-8:55), typically on a Thursday. We are also looking for those we could reach out to when making decisions. Please read on for more details.
