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

Thanksgiving season is coming! And it's the best time to show your support and give. Our annual No Hassle Fundraiser, which simply asks for direct donations from families, is our most important fundraising effort.

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.

The most efficient way you can make an impact is to donate directly to the No Hassle Fundraiser. Our hope is that every family will be able to donate any amount that they are comfortable with. In the coming weeks, we'll provide updates on our path to $20K!

Suggest a Safety Project Idea for This City Program

11/14/2024 1:15 pm

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!

Join a School Committee

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.
