During the April 2026 regular monthly meeting of the CUSD 10 Board of Education, young wrestlers and volunteers from the Twin Echo PTA were recognized.  

Twin Echo Honors PTA Volunteers:
Twin Echo Principal Dr. Julie Haake recognized two volunteers for many years of leadership and service to the Twin Echo PTA: Sarah Evers and Kim Steward.  

During their time with the PTA, Twin Echo was named a PTA School of Excellence and received the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Award for Family Engagement.  They also coordinated efforts to add a book vending machine at the school, refurbish the teachers lounge and plant shade trees on campus.  

This is the duo's last year at Twin Echo as their youngest children move-on to 5th grade at Dorris Intermediate School.  

Dr. Haake told them, "Thank you for your support and dedication for Twin Echo students, families and staff.  You have made a difference at Twin and we are going to miss you."
