On April 9, the Twin Valley High School Student Council organized their annual Day of Service event. This year, each grade worked together on one specific service project to give back to the greater community. Thank you Student Council for your efforts and giving our students a chance to come together as a Twin Valley community to help give back to others!
We are proud to recognize Claudia Sweitzer as this year’s Twin Valley School District nominee for the Annie Sullivan Award!
For the past seven years, Claudia has made an incredible impact as a Learning Support Teacher at Twin Valley Middle School, driven by her belief that every student deserves someone who believes in them and empowers them to succeed.
As a certified Wilson Reading teacher and reading specialist, Claudia uses data-driven instruction and targeted interventions to help students grow in literacy while building confidence, resilience, and a love of learning.
But what truly sets Claudia apart is her heart. Claudia’s administrators describe her as “passionate about kids, a true advocate, a great mentor, and deeply connected with families.” She truly embodies the spirit of the Annie Sullivan Award through the care and compassion she gives to her community.
Congratulations, Claudia, on this well-deserved nomination!

Charlotte Thomas has been named Twin Valley’s April Intern of the Month!
Charlotte is currently completing her internship at Robeson Preschool, where she supports instruction in a three-year-old classroom. Through this experience, she is gaining valuable, hands-on insight into early childhood education, working with children from toddlers through pre-kindergarten.
Director Julia Bonds shared, “Charlotte is always happy to be here, and both the children and staff love her. Her classroom management skills are excellent, and she is a natural teacher. She quickly became an important part of the teaching team, and her future in education is clearly a perfect fit.”
Charlotte reflected on her experience, saying, “I love my internship because I get to watch the kids learn and grow every day. I enjoy seeing each child’s excitement and curiosity, and I learn so much by observing how teachers handle different situations.” This fall, she will attend Kutztown University to pursue a degree in Elementary and Special Education—an exciting next step toward a bright future.
