Mark Twain School has been awarded $1,100 for its Jobs for America’s Graduates program in a string of new grant initiatives under Missouri first lady Teresa Parson’s Moving Missouri Forward Foundation.

Mark Twain School has partnered with the Northside Nutrition Center to serve senior citizens lunch and, in addition to an elective credit, gain life experience.

“If it is to be, it is up to me.” These 10 two-letter words inspired Missouri first lady Teresa Parson to initially become involved with the Jobs for America’s Graduates program on which she now serves with Gov. Mike Parson as co-chair of the Board of Directors.
