Staff Appreciation Week

May 6-10 is Staff Appreciation Week. The PTA would like to help the Twain Community say thank you to the amazing teachers and staff at Twain MS. Please consider making a monetary donation that will go directly towards the purchase of gift cards for the Gift Card Giveaway on May 8th. We hope to raise enough money to give each teacher and staff member at $25 gift card. With 136 staff members, we need your help to make this happen. Any additions funds collected will go towards the desserts and catered luncheon planned during Staff Appreciation Week. Make your donation by clicking here. Please make your donations no later than Friday, May 3, so we have time to purchase the gift cards for May 8th.
