Purchase Gift Cards for Teachers here: Givebacks
Signup to donate items for the various Teacher Appreciation Week events.
Please consider making a monetary donation that will go directly towards the purchase of gift cards for the Gift Card Giveaway on May 7th.
We are currently 35% of the way to our goal of collecting enough donations for our PTA to give every staff member at Twain a $25 gift card during the Gift Card Giveaway next week.
That’s 136 staff members to treat, and we need your help to make this happen!
Twain Community Night (Friday, May 16th, 6-8pm): Volunteers Needed
Click the SignUp to see where help is needed:
The Twain PTA looks forward to joining the Mark Twain MS administration, teachers and staff in welcoming the greater Twain MS community to this annual event. This event is open to current and new students, and incoming rising 7th graders from our pyramid elementary schools, and is a fun evening for both students and parents.
PTA volunteers are needed to staff our PTA tables in the cafeteria. It’s a pretty easy event, and we just need a handful of volunteers to help us run our tables in the cafeteria.
Note: Spirit Wear sales and the concessions cashiering can only be handled by current PTA members.
See you there!
8th Grade Dance! (Sat. May 31st, 6-8pm) : Volunteers & Donations Needed
Your 8th Grade Dance planning committee is hard at work. This past week the students voted on a theme and their voices were heard! We are currently working to bring their vision to fulfillment with various planning pieces of this event.
As you pro-actively mark this date on your calendar, please make note of a few important points:
- This event is exclusively for 8th grade students enrolled at Mark Twain MS.
- The event will be held at Mark Twain Middle School on a Saturday evening from 6-8pm.
- This is a formal attire event.
- Our 8th grade students do not have a formal FCPS graduation or promotion to high school, so this is a fun and memorable way to celebrate their accomplishments and capture those precious middle school memories as a Twain Tiger.
- Tickets will go on sale the week of the event (5/27 - 5/29). Cash purchases may be made during lunch blocks.
-
No tickets will be sold at the door. No exceptions.
Our fabulous and super fun dance planning committee is comprised of parents/guardians of current 7th & 8th grade students. Most of our committee members are 8th grade parents. We would be more comfortable if a few more parents/guardians of 7th graders were part of planning process to learn what goes into planning and executing this event so we can continue passing important traditions on to the next grade level of families. Please reach out to the PTA President, Robin Christman at mtmspresident@gmail.com, or our Committee Chair, Amy Garten, with questions or to join in the planning fun.
In the coming days you should expect to receive a SignUp Genius shared for this event and emails coming out to let our wonderful PTA membership know what might be needed from the community to make this themed event special for our 8th graders (i.e. 360 photo booth, etc).
Twain PTA Officer Elections : Executive Board Members Needed
Twain PTA officer elections are just around the corner. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this fabulous group of individuals who work together to support our administrators, staff members and teachers while advocating for the best interests of our students to help secure a robust and enjoyable experience within the walls of Mark Twain MS.
Several key positions remain open for next year and we need to fill them ASAP.
- President
- Vice President of Fundraising
- Secretary
Both rising 7th and 8th grade families are eligible. Know a leader of a rising 7th grade student who would enjoy volunteering? Is it you? Please reach out to mtmspresident@gmail.com to express your interest and to learn more.
