A parent-run program that meets before school. Our Choir performs with Poway High School at their concerts in December and May. We invite all middle school kids who love to sing to join us the beginning of each new session to come learn, sing and have fun!
Community Concerns
We support the community through the Giving Tree program during the winter holidays and donate to the Poway for grad night events.

We provide volunteers for the PUSD hearing and vision tests.
Hospitality – Teacher / Staff Appreciation

The PTSA also provides other smaller staff appreciation events throughout the year as able. Volunteers and donations are needed for each event.

Teacher Supply Closet
PTSA helps to maintain a running list of school supplies as needed by TPMS staff. The list will be distributed throughout the year to parents to donate as desired.
Volunteer Support and Appreciation
We keep members informed of the latest volunteer opportunities at Twin Peaks and support PTA’s Honorary Service Awards program in spring to celebrate volunteers school-wide, who’ve gone above and beyond.
Please know that your presence on Campus is always welcome and is crucial to the successful implementation of these program and activities. Your gift of time is essential to the school and a great way for you to stay involved in your student’s school life.
