Staff Appreciation Bagel & Snack Bar

9/17/2026 12:44 pm

Twain PTSA’s Staff Appreciation Committee kicked off the school year by welcoming our amazing teachers and staff with a bagel bar on the first day of school, followed by a snack bar for the rest of the week! It was such a fun way to help everyone feel appreciated and give our Twain staff a warm welcome back.

If you’d like to join the Staff Appreciation Committee, we’d love to have you! Please email us at staffappreciation@twainptsa.org or sign up here.

Reflection Volunteer Lead Needed By October 15!

9/16/2026 10:49 am

What could your child create if they had a reason to begin? The Reflections Program gives students a chance to imagine, create, and share through music, visual arts, literature, dance, video, or photography. All inspired by this year’s theme, “What My Culture Means to Me.” Could you help give them that chance? We need a volunteer lead by October 15th for our school to participate in Reflections this year.

Sign up here to help make this special experience for our students happen at Twain.

Interested in learning more? Find more details on our Twain Reflection page.

Incredible events like Block Party only happen thanks to you: giving your time, generosity, and leadership!

Did you work at one of the Volunteer tables? Did you keep a line moving at the bouncy houses? Did you sweat through your clothes because you worked a shift as Huckleberry? Did you help clean up trash afterward? Please give yourself a pat on the back because you helped make our Block Party possible!
