Come on out to Ledo Pizza in Kingstowne on Tuesday, April 9th from 5-9 PM. Twain PTA received 20% of ALL dine-in sales and take out orders. Bring a friend and tell your neighbors too. No flyer necessary. Just mention the Twain PTA when you order. Thanks for your support.
On Friday, April 26th from 6:30-8:30 PM, the PTA will be holding the Spring Tiger Night Social! This night seems to grow bigger each time we have it. Activities include DJ spinning tunes in the cafeteria, concessions for sale, basketball tournament, Minute to Win it games, Wii games, Improv Station, Karaoke, and more. There is sure to be something for everyone! Advance tickets will be on sale during lunches April 23-26 (right after we return from Spring Break). This event cannot happen without lots of help. We are looking for parent volunteers to sell tickets, donate items and offer support the night of the event, helping with concessions, chaperoning, supervising games, set-up and clean-up.
