Happy Labor Day Weekend!! We have a few reminders for you...


Our Checkbook Fundraiser is back this year with lots of great coupons from local vendors. These make great gifts!  If you didn’t get one at Locker Set-up, we still have some left.  Simply send in a check for $35 made out to Twin Groves PTO in an envelope marked “Checkbook”  with your student’s name, and it will be sent home with your child.  For more information and the complete list of vendors Click here.

Magazine Sales will be kicking off on September 12^th, but it is not too early to start ordering magazines to support Twin Groves!  This fundraiser allows us to do extra things for our school, and there are incentives for the students who sell subscriptions.  This year there will be extra incentives for people who order subscriptions on-line.  To order directly, just click on this Link, or you can go to www.gaschoolstore.com and order through the account number provided (# 2537538).   For more information Click here.

Attention frozen yogurt lovers:  Our first Community Fundraiser will be Thursday, September 19th at Red Mango from 2 - 8 pm!  Twin Groves will receive 15% of the proceeds.  Please come out and support our school.
