Save the Date for Next Year's School Play!

6/8/2025 8:40 pm

We are excited to announce that next year's school play will be Wonderland the Musical!

Rising 4th and 5th grade families, clear your calendars now for what's sure to be a fantastical musical experience. Rehearsals for next year's school play will take place starting October 13th, with performances on November 21st and 22nd. McGinnes is still looking for a Parent Co-Producer for next year's school play, so if you are a parent (or guardian!) keen to learn more about this position, PLEASE reach out to McGinnes at mcginnes@twainptsa.org. It's much more fun when there's more than one of us taking on this task!

We have a winner! Introducing "DIGneyland"

5/22/2025 4:35 pm

PTSA asked each classroom to propose a name for the sand digging station. Thank you to the 11 participating classrooms! We received several creative and thoughtful submissions, making it a real challenge to choose just one. After careful deliberation, we’re excited to announce the winning name: Digneyland! 🏖️✨ Congratulations to the Mrs. Neal's classroom for their imaginative and fun name. As promised, the PTSA will be hosting a classroom party for Mrs. Neal's class to celebrate. Thank you again to everyone who participated—we truly appreciate your enthusiasm and creativity!
