Your PTO Dollars at work...
The purpose of the PTO is to "promote and support the educational, academic, community, and social activities of Twin Groves Middle School and School District 96."  Through fundraising efforts, the PTO is able to purchase items for the school.  Over the summer, Twin Groves had 3 new drinking fountains installed courtesy of the PTO.  You may have noticed them during Locker Set-up day or Curriculum Night.  These drinking fountains are designed to refill water bottles, so they probably got a lot of use with all the hot days this week!  

Coming soon...Spirit Wear!  Stay tuned
