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

Congratulations to our pizza decorating winners. Thank you to all who participated, they all looked amazing. They are now hanging inside Domino's for you to see. Our fundraising pizza night is this Thursday. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #winwin
