Hey Twin Groves!  
Our Lou Malnati's Fundraiser is this Monday, October 28th!  Need a good excuse not to cook? Order from Lou's between 11 am and 10 pm, and they will donate 20% to Twin Groves PTO. Click here for the flyer that must accompany your order/payment.

It's not too late for Spirit Wear!  There has been a great response to the new Twin Groves Spirit Wear, so we have extended the order deadline until October 31st.  We have t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants.  Check out the order form to see what they look like. There are also samples in the office if you want to see them or check the size. Click here for the order form.

DISTRICT 96 ALL-PTO FLORAL DESIGN SHOW
Ready for something fun and different? Save Wed., Nov. 6th, 7:00 p.m., for the D96 PTOs' 2nd annual Evening of Floral Design, held at Twin Groves Middle School. Last year's audience LOVED IT, so here's your chance.... 

From your seat in the audience in Twin Groves Cafeteria, watch 4 talented florists, working simultaneously, create beautiful arrangements that lucky ticket holders will win. Or, win one of 8 gift certificates. Throughout, Emcee Joyce Grattoni (Flowers by Grattoni) entertains and educates with her commentary. A brief intermission gives everyone time to enjoy free refreshments and get an up-close look at some completed arrangements.


Give yourself this night out. You'll have fun and make a positive difference for our kids: Your attendance benefits the District 96 Kids in Need Fund, helping children in our own school community whose families are experiencing financial hardship.


Tickets are $20 at the door (no pre-sale). Cash or check only.
