Twin Lakes Academy Elementary-Jacksonville, Fl

Our 5th Grade Safety Patrols had an unforgettable time on their Washington, D.C. and Busch Gardens trip led by Mrs. Zona and Mr. Wright!

Throughout the week, students explored several Smithsonian museums, visited many of our nation’s historic monuments and memorials, toured the Capitol Building, walked through Arlington National Cemetery, and viewed priceless documents at the National Archives. We wrapped up the trip with a fun-filled day at Busch Gardens!

We are incredibly proud of our patrols for representing our school so well throughout the trip. A special thank you goes out to our amazing chaperones, dedicated bus driver, knowledgeable tour guide, and our JSO officer for helping make this experience safe, educational, and memorable for all.

What an incredible adventure and a lifetime of memories!

Exciting News from TLAE!

We are thrilled to share that thanks to the incredible support from our school community, we were able to purchase a Book Vending Machine for our school!

This amazing addition was made possible through the funds raised during our Book Fairs. Your support—whether by shopping, volunteering, or spreading the word—has truly made a lasting impact on our school.

Our students will now have a fun and engaging way to access books and celebrate reading in a whole new way!

A special thank you to our media specialist, Mrs. Griffin, for her hard work and for dreaming big for our students—this would not have been possible without her dedication and vision!

Thank you to everyone who supported our Book Fairs and helped make this dream a reality. We couldn’t have done it without you!
