Put It on The Calendar!

9/21/2024 12:00 pm

We have three weeks of school under our belt and there's so much to keep track of! We know it's a huge bummer to miss events your child was wanting to attend, or miss out on ordering a yearbook or spirit wear.

So, here's a pro tip: subscribe to our calendar --dates and deadlines will simply auto-fill into your personal calendar. It's that easy! We have a few calendar options, so you can pick and choose what works best for you. Each calendar entry will be updated with the event details, keeping you and your family on track and connected!

Explore Art Docent Training-- Docents Still Needed

9/17/2024 12:10 pm

A few more Explore Art Docents are needed to bring art education to Twain. Elementary schools do not have funding for art teachers... that's where we come in! 

Each classroom needs one Lead or Co-Leads plus 2-3 assistant docents for the monthly 1.5-2.5 hour lessons. Many hands make light work, especially when it comes to art! Join us monthly or as often as you can. NO ART EXPERIENCE NEEDED.

Training will be held September 26 6-8 pm in the Twain Library. Read on for more information.

Food Donations & Volunteers Needed

9/13/2024 10:29 am

We can't host the Block Party event without YOUR help!

We are most in need of pre-event help including food donations for our snack table. This is a great way to volunteer without a huge time commitment!

Or, we would love to have you take a shift during the event! We really need PTSA members or BOD members for our sales shifts.

Thanks for all you do for our community and for helping to make this event a success for our kiddos and families.
