We are excited the snow storm has passed and students are back in person today. Thank you parents for all your help during our 3 eLearning days. These Mark Twain students took Miss Shamhart up on her library challenge to read under a table with hats/gloves on! #marktwain #twaincusd1 #westicktogether #elearning #readersareleaders
Mark Twain's librarian, Miss Shamhart challenged all students to read a book while wearing a hat and gloves or to read under a table. Here is a picture of Miss Shamhart completing the challenge by reading "If You Give a Pig a Pancake" with her dog Cooper. Look at the matching hats she made for them both! Please post a picture of your child completing Miss Shamhart’s challenge. #marktwain #westicktogether #twaincusd1 #elearning #readersareleaders

We are thankful for all of our Mark Twain students, staff, and families. We have had a fun week doing Thanksgiving themed activities and even got to celebrate with the worlds largest (or at least it seemed like it to us) Thanksgiving dinner.

At Mark Twain, our students keep track of their learning targets and know what skills they are working on. Each morning this student has been checking which letter sounds he still needs. I am proud to announce that he has since achieved his goal! #westicktogether #marktwain

Information regarding the parade at Mark Twain today at 1:15
The weather looks like it is going to cooperate so we should be able to have the parade outside!!
*Parking is limited at Mark Twain. We will have additional parking on the blacktop – which can be accessed from the front drive. Other parking is available between the ball fields (please access this path from Smith Drive) or at the football field.
*Visitors will stand behind the caution tape to watch the parade.
*IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON TAKING YOUR STUDENT HOME FROM THE PARADE: Once the parade is over, find the cone for your student’s teacher (cones will be on the east side of the back circle drive). The teacher will come to the cone and have you sign out your child. After signing them out, your child is free to leave.
*Because regular dismissal will start at 2:10, we ask that all visitors leave immediately after the parade or immediately after signing your student out.
