TOMS Box Tops Contest Winner!

Thanks to all the classes that participated in this semester's Box Tops for Education contest.  Over 6000 tops were sent in.  This equals over $600 for PACT projects. 

The ice cream party winning primetime class is Mrs. Wagner's.  One student brought in over 450 Tops!  Thanks to those classes that trimmed the Tops (they received an extra 100 points towards the prize).

TOMS Food Drive

We are so proud of the LAKER PRIDE that our Twin Oaks students and families demonstrated during our internal food drive!  We had an incredible amount of generous food donations that will help many Twin Oaks students in need.  Our grand total was 2012.00 and our winning grade was 6^th with 816 donated items.  7^th and 8^th followed closely with 7^th at 781 and 8^th grade at 451.  Thank you all for your support and generosity!
