About Us

Who We Are

Mark Twain Elementary PTA is a nonprofit membership association established in 1938 that aims to positively impact the lives of all students and families at Twain. Anyone can become a member - parents/guardians, teachers and staff, students, friends, family and supporters. 

Our association is part of the California State PTA and National PTA organizations. We are proud to be part of the nation’s largest volunteer-led child-advocacy association working to drive improvements in the education, health and well-being of all children and families. When you are a member of PTA, you are an advocate for your child and for all children. Join us Today!

Board of Directors

Twain PTA is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors and committees in cooperation with school administration and teachers. 

The Board is elected annually by our membership in the spring.

We are proud to represent our PTA and serve our school community. Feel free to reach out to any Board member with questions or ideas.

PTA Meetings

Twain PTA membership meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month during the school year (except December) and alternate between in-person meetings at the school and virtual meetings. All members are encouraged to join meetings to learn about and vote on PTA activities.

Check our Calendar for upcoming meetings. Meeting details will always be announced in the newsletter and online. 

The Board of Directors meets on the 4th Monday of each month during the school year.

Committee meetings are held as needed for each event/program. 

Membership

PTA is a membership association. We rely on the support of our members to guide and fund our activities at Twain. Members are able to exercise their vote at monthly PTA meetings. However, becoming a member does not commit you to anything. 

Join us and make a difference in our school community. There are so many reasons to be a part of PTA!
