Dear Twin Groves Families,

Welcome back to school!  It was great seeing so many friendly faces at Locker Set Up Day. We really appreciate the help from all our volunteers.   

Thank you to Wendy Friedman and Dana Friedman for organizing the School Kitz, Elisa Nusinow and Wendy Wunsch for running our school store, Sandy McArthy and Kim Dempsey for handling gym uniforms, Chris Eng for starting off our new checkbook fundraiser, and our Special Lunch (Linda Kull, Ellen DeLay, Marci Sussman, and Janet Ventrella) and Dessert Day (Karyn Gitler, Jane Oh, Wendy Wunsch, and Julie Bloom) chairpersons for planning a year of treats for our students.

Thanks also to the Hospitality Committee, Michelle Mottlowitz and Sumana Posa, for preparing a wonderful brunch for the Twin Groves Staff on Tuesday. 

If you didn’t have a chance to purchase a Check book, or order Spirit Wear, Special Lunch, or Dessert Day, it’s not too late!  Select the links above or you can find the order forms on the Twin Groves website PTO Website - just send your order to school with your child. The first Dessert Day and Special Lunch is soon. Those order forms are due next week on 8/30/12.

Entertainment books go on sale next week.  The book will not come home with your child as it has in past years. Instead, books can be ordered.  Books are available to preview, and your child can check one out in the office if you'd like.  In addition, students can earn incentives for selling books.  For more information check out the explanation here  and the permission form here.

You can also still sign up to help the various PTO committees by clicking on this link to the PTO Volunteer Form.  

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to a great year!
