Winter Bash II was a blast! Almost half the school enjoyed our very own Twin Groves alumni DJ - Ross Bessinger and his staff who kept the joint jumping. They bounced in the bouncie house and slid down the slides. They played dodge ball, volley ball and basketball. They enjoyed treats from the parent donations and slurped snow cones. One lucky winner went home with a new iTouch and another won the iPad thanks to very generous donations. We heard many compliments from our students. We would like to thank our Winter Bash Chairs - Sandy McArthy, Nancy Swidler, Jim Driscoll and Mythyly Putcha. We couldn't do what we do without the tremendous efforts of our parent volunteers. We will report on the donation to St. Jude's Children's Hospital after we tally our results.
