* Using Our Site
This website was created by former students of the Mark Twain Elementary School in Florrisant, Missouri. It has no relationship with any commercial websites that may appear to be promoting Class Reunions for Mark Twain Elementary School of Florrisant MO. We may have a few links to other sites which we believe might be useful to our class members. We do not post any advertising nor will we link to commercial websites. Individual class members may include URL links to their personal websites within their profiles. We do not permit the use of our list of class members for soliciting purposes.
We started this website on February 10, 2011 in preparation for reunion open to any former students of Mark Twain Elementary School tentatively planned for 2013. The website is a work-in-progress, and will be frequently updated with a look back at our years at Mark Twain Elementary and a look ahead at our reunion. We suggest you bookmark our page and check in about weekly.
