TWINS DAY IS A DOUBLE-TAKE AT FWISD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Fort Worth, Texas – Often part of the fun of attending school is the continuation of traditions. Fort Worth ISD’s David K. Sellars Elementary School has a tradition of having an unusual number of students who are twins. This year there are sixteen (16) sets of twins attending the school.

On Thursday, October 29, 2008, teachers, students, parents and friends will celebrate this unusual occurrence with their Annual Twins Day.

Sonja Star-Whittaker is the principal of Sellars ES. “For the past 8 years we have had at least twelve or more sets of twins enrolled at out school. There must be something in the water.”

During the annual recognition ceremony, all twins will gather in the school auditorium and hear “Twin Facts” collected from the Internet. Additionally, members of the faculty will dress in “twin” attire.

Every year there is a new twist to this Sellars tradition. This year one of the schools teachers just delivered a set of twins and she plans to attend the celebration as well.
