We are celebrating Veterans Day at Mark Twain today and are very proud of the hero that walks our halls everyday, Mr. Lang. We thank Mr. Lang and all the Veterans for their service to our country. 

Leader in Me is an essential part of our school day. At Mark Twain we are creating an environment that emphasizes a culture of leadership. #leaderinme #7habits #marktwain #westicktogether
