Principal’s Message |
Greetings Tiger Families!
Today, October 2nd, is National Custodian Appreciation Day. We are so fortunate at Twain to have a talented and dedicated team of custodians who keep our school clean, safe and welcoming for our students, staff, and community. Mr. Mario, Ms. Rosa, Mr. Albert, Ms. Reina, and Ms. Raquel work tirelessly to take care of Twain. Maintaining a school of our size and age can be a challenge and our team does so with pride. As a school, we believe in the power of collective responsibility and encourage and expect our students to also be caretakers of our school. Cleaning up after ourselves and treating our facilities with respect are important principles of being a Tiger. Not just today, but anytime you are here at Twain and see a member of our custodial team, please consider sending a thank you their way!
Please don’t forget that Thursday and Friday are student holidays. We look forward to seeing our Tigers return on Monday, October 7th.
Go Tigers!
Matt
