TWO Mitchell Community Bookmobile Events - August 7 and August 27

We all know how important it is for students to read and learn during the summer. At Mitchell we do several things to encourage this:
- Summer school programming for students in all elementary grades is a part of our school and district improvement plans.
- Summer school programming for students who are learning English is available as a part of our partnership with the University of Michigan School of Education.
- The Mitchell PTO purchases Think Stretch workbooks for students to complete during the summer and return at the Welcome Back Picnic on August 27.
- All students receive free books throughout the year to enjoy and keep.

We do all of this because we want Mitchell School students to learn as much as possible, and we want Mitchell School to be the best school it can be.

To continue to support student learning during the summer, the Mitchell School Bookmobile will be at Mitchell School on August 7 and August 27 at 6 PM for students to pick up a new book and/or to exchange a book they are done reading and they would like give someone else a change to enjoy.

On those two evenings, the Mitchell School Bookmobile will be parked in the front of the school.  Please mark your calendars and plan to stop by!
