Congratulations to the Class of 2024 from the school that saw so many of your firsts. First day of school, first classroom, first recess, first time reading all by yourself, first bus ride, first field trip, first time counting to 100. We are proud of you and look forward to watching all your new "firsts" as you embark on a life of adulthood. Go change the world, we know you can! #marktwain #twaincusd1 #westicktogether #classof2024

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.
