Communication Committee

Field day is coming, December 19th, and fourth grade couldn't be more excited! The parade of classes will begin at 8:15. It's always a blast to see the stream of happy children parading around the track. The games begin for K-2 at 8:15 and will end at 11:00. Third through fifth graders will compete from 12 to 2:30. As in the past few years, cooperation is key. Points will be awarded not only for performance in events but also for cooperative play. We're looking forward to a fun day!  Ms. Marroquin's Class

Nutrition Committee

Students should eat healthy food so they can perform their best at field day. You should eat fresh fruit and vegetables. You should stay healthy! If you eat unhealthy foods like chips and ice cream, you can get sick. Granola bars and apple slices can help with that. If you want to provide nutritious snacks for field day, drop them off at the stage. Ms. Murdoch's Class

Welcome Committee

Jump Rope for Heart Donations will be collected on Field Day. A minimum donation of $3 will receive a jump rope for heart duck. Ms. Clayton's Class

Safety Committee

Field Day Safety!  It is important to stay safe on field day. Here are some ideas to keep in mind. Please wear the appropriate clothing. If it is cold, wear long sleeves and pants, but if not, you can wear short sleeves and shorts/capris. Always wear tennis shoes! Avoid wearing jewelry or dressy clothes. Make sure to wear sunscreen so that you don't get a sunburn. Following the rules and not interfering with the game are keys to having a safe and successful field day. You should stay with your class and in designated areas at all times. Drink water to stay hydrated and eat healthy snacks so that you can be active. Remember to always have fun and stay safe!

From, The Safety Committee  Ms. Chapin's Class

Let's Keep Mark Twain Clean on Field Day 2013

Field Day has finally arrived! It will be held at Mark Twain Elementary on Thursday, December 19th. We hope that you all can attend. It's going to be a fun filled day with many exciting events. To ensure that our campus remains beautiful, we are encouraging everybody to recycle and throw away your trash in the appropriate containers.

Where ever you are on campus, whether it's inside or outside, there will be containers for recyclable items and trash. If you can't find one, just ask one of the Mark Twain students. Please, please, please do not litter. Again, we want to make sure our campus is clean and tidy, and left exactly as it was before Field Day began.  

Many thanks, Mr. Bonn's Class

LOST AND FOUND CLOSET IS FULL!

The clothes rack is set up in the hallway outside of the cafeteria temporarily this week.

You are welcome to take/adopt anything left in the Lost and Found closet or on the rack during the week of Dec 16th, the last week before Winter Break.

Any items left behind will be removed and disposed on Friday, December 20th, the last day of the school.

fierce competition.

The students who represented Mark Twain at the tournament were: Marco Contreras-Grassi, Jesús David Dagnino, Yazan Numan, Gerardo Dagnino, and Cameron Valdez.
