Attention Mark Twain Kindergarten Parents: Tomorrow (Thursday 5/15) at Mark Twain is T day so we are going to say T is for Trade and trade T for W so we can celebrate Water Day while the temps are warm and the rain isn't falling. Please send your Kindergartener with a swimsuit and towel tomorrow for Water Day! (T is for Tie-dye will now be celebrated Tuesday, May 20). Preschool students will celebrate T day tomorrow and will still have water day on Tuesday, May 20.
We are excited about this new tradition! We hope to see all Kindergarten students at Trojan Hill, Friday (May 9) to receive the Trojan Spirit from the seniors. Be at the football field around 6:15pm so you are ready for the event at 6:30pm.
