November Staff Appreciation

Soup & Salad Lunch – Thank You!

On Tuesday, November 3rd, our PTSA Staff Appreciation Committee treated our wonderful Mark Twain staff to a delicious soup and salad lunch!

It was a cozy way to show our appreciation for all they do for our students and school community.

Thank you to our PTSA members for your generous donations that make events like this possible!

A special thank-you to our volunteers who helped make the lunch a success: Audrey Adler, Katti Swanson, Lori Foster, Jenny Lu, Morgan Olson, and Ester Chan. We appreciate your continued support in helping us celebrate our amazing staff!

Thank You Trunk or Treat Volunteers!

11/1/2026 10:56 am

Our first-ever Trunk or Treat was a huge success!

From amazingly decorated trunks to fun, spooky activities and, of course, plenty of candy, there was something for everyone.

The excitement on the kids’ faces said it all – they had an absolute blast!

A special shout-out goes to Erin Marshall, Alicia Bourne and Jen Degrace, who came up with the idea, pitched it to the PTSA board, and then rolled up their sleeves to make it happen – all in just a few short weeks! 

A big thank-you also to our PTSA team, who jumped in to help turn this into reality, as well as the Mark Twain staff for supporting the idea and to everyone who decorated a trunk, or helped in any other way. Every single contribution helped make this event so special.

This is exactly what makes our Mark Twain community so wonderful. When people come together, share ideas, and pitch in, amazing things can happen!
