Happy September
Happy Friday Twin Oaks Community.
What a great week! We had our first fire drill of the year this Wednesday and out Coyotes did fantastic. We will be having monthly fire drills as well as quarterly earthquake and lock-down drills.
Next Friday, we have our PTO sponsored Welcome Back Bash. I hope to see many of you here. It is a wonderful event. Our PTO not only sponsors family events for our community, they also support our school in other ways as well. This year, they have supported our teachers with classroom furniture, carpets and high/low desks. They even support us in the area of STEAM by providing our Coyotes with an art instructor. Our school is an awesome school because of our staff, students and wonderful community including our PTO. We are grateful.
Have a wonderful 3-day weeked Coyote Families. We will see you back on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Barragan-Su
