Mark Twain Elementary School -

Instead of doing traditional fundraisers, Mark Twain partners with our local Domino's Pizza to have monthly fundraising nights. On the 3rd Thursday of every month, 15% of ALL orders (dine-in, carry out or delivery) placed between 4pm and 8pm is donated to Mark Twain. Our first pizza fundraising night of the year is tomorrow. Be sure to order dinner tomorrow, Thursday 9/21, from Domino's (217-345-3030) between 4pm and 8pm and 15% will be donated back to Mark Twain. This is a great opportunity to support Mark Twain and our community. #winwin Upcoming pizza nights: 10/19, 11/16, 12/14, 1/18, 2/15, 3/14, 4/18, 5/16

Our students & families at Mark Twain are AMAZING!! We have collected 749 pairs of socks and are so close to our school-wide goal of 800 pairs! We are accepting socks until Tuesday, November 28th. If we make our goal, Mrs. Titus will be rewarding the students with a movie in the cafeteria. #sockdrive #marktwain #twaincusd1 #westicktogether

We love our community leaders. Last week, the firefighters helped us at Mark Twain with our fire drill & then led each class through the fire safety trailer. Today they returned for our monthly celebration to teach us about how they use their leadership qualities in the community. Thank you CFD #leaderinme #twaincusd1 #westicktogether #marktwain #communityleaders #7habits
