Hi Twin Groves!  Thanks to everyone who came out for our Wendy’s Fundraiser!  It’s hard to believe it was our last fundraiser of the year.

As an end-of-year treat for the students, the PTO sponsors 8th Grade Ice Cream Day and PTO Lunch for the 6th and 7th Grades.  The 8th Graders were provided with concrete mixers from Culver's on their last full day of school, May 30th.  The 6th and 7th Graders will be getting lunch from Wiener Take All and custard from Culver's on June 9th (this date was changed due to the added snow days this year).
