One of the most frequent compliments we receive from visitors is, 'You all feel just like a family.' We truly cherish that feedback because it’s exactly how we feel every day. We are incredibly blessed to have such a supportive, tight-knit work environment, and it’s all thanks to the heart and soul of this building: our amazing Mark Twain teachers and staff.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

🎉 SLIME TIME IS OFFICIALLY ON! 🎉
Huge news, Mark Twain family! Our incredible students and community aren't just rocking this fundraiser—they are absolutely crushing it for the Christian Heady Foundation!

🟢 The "Goo" News
We have officially blasted past our $600 goal! We are setting at $725 so far! You know what that means? It’s time to get messy! We have secured a front-row seat to see some of our favorite people get covered in green slime:

Jennifer Simpson (Celebrating her retirement in the stickiest way possible!)

Doug Heady (Predicting a 100% chance of slime showers!)

Dr. Matt Huntley & Dr. Holley Goodnight (Our Assistant Superintendents are taking one for the team!)

Let's see if we can't double our goal for this great cause! Remember you can drop off donations at Mark Twain Elementary or Hatchers Coffee.

Help Us Make a Splash for a Great Cause! slime
We are off to a fantastic start! We’ve already raised $215 toward our $600 goal to see Doug Heady and a few of our brave Superintendents get covered in green slime.

Every dollar raised by our students and community goes directly to the Christian Heady Foundation, helping fulfill the dreams of courageous kids fighting childhood cancer. Let’s keep that momentum going!

📍 Where to Give
You can drop off your donations at either of these locations through Thursday, March 26th:

Mark Twain Elementary (Carthage)

Hatcher’s Coffee

The Big Goal: If we hit $600, the slime starts flowing! Let’s show our support for these kids and have a little messy fun in the process.

Mark Twain x Christian Heady Foundation: Help Us Make a Splash! 🌟☕️
Every year, Mark Twain teams up with a charity to support the fight against childhood cancer. This year, we are incredibly proud to partner with the Christian Heady Foundation!

Our students will be collecting donations all week long to support a local cause that truly changes lives. But we aren’t doing this alone—we want to give our incredible community the opportunity to join the mission!

How You Can Help:
Drop off at School: Swing by Mark Twain through Thursday March 26th to add to our donation jars.

Fuel Up for a Cause: Our friends at Hatchers Coffee have graciously agreed to donate a portion of their proceeds this week to the foundation! Grab your morning brew and support the kids at the same time.

The Stakes: 🧪
If we hit our fundraising goal of $400 by Friday, we’ll be presenting Doug Heady with a check—and then we’re going to SLIME him! Will Doug stay dry, or are we bringing the green goo? But wait there is MORE! If we can get to $600 we will get to SLIME a couple of our Assistant Superintendents! Let’s fill those jars, Mark Twain. Let’s make a difference (and a mess) for a great cause!
