2026 Mark Twain Annual Giving

Hello Mark Twain Families,

As we kick off a new school year, our focus is on how our community comes together to support our middle schoolers. Like many public schools, state and district funding covers only basic operational needs. It does not fund many of the programs, electives, and support systems that make Mark Twain a vibrant place for our kids to learn and grow.

That is where Friends of Mark Twain (FOMT) steps in. We work to bridge that financial gap so every student on campus has access to a well-rounded middle school experience.

This year our goal is $260,000. While our suggested donation is $1,500 per family ($150/Month), our most important goal is 100% participation. Whether you give $5 or $500, being counted as part of our wave is what makes our community strong.

Where Every Dollar Goes ($260,000):

• Restorative Justice programs that strengthen our school community
• Sports, including our Athletic Director, coaches, equipment, and programs
• The Organic Garden & Seeds to Plate program
• Community-building events that bring Mark Twain families together
• Arts & Entertainment
• Administrative
