Mark Twain Elementary School -

Today we showed our true colors, and they were great as we celebrated "C is for Color" day. Tomorrow is "D is for Drawing" day which seemed like the "write" choice for a Thursday. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #abccountdown

Mr. Rex was sweet as honey for helping make B is for Bee day so special. He taught us all about bees 🐝 and how they make honey. Tomorrow will be more colorful than a bag of Skittles as we celebrate C is for Color day. Students are encouraged to wear their favorite color. 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣 #marktwain #twaincusd1 #abccountdown

A is for Apple - Mark Twain's ABC countdown kicked off today and we enjoyed it down to our "core". We are all buzzing with excitement for "B is for Bee" day tomorrow. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #westicktogether #abccountdown
