In just a few weeks, the Mitchell 5th grade classes will host the First Annual PYP Exhibition! This is an important part of the IB Primary Years Programme at Mitchell. It is a celebration of the transition our students will make as they move from elementary school to middle school. It will be an opportunity to showcase student projects that have been developed independently by individuals and small groups. Our 5th graders have been working on their exhibition projects since January! We hope you will join us the Mitchell PYP Exhibition on May 18 at 6:00 PM.

This week your child(ren) should have brought home permission slips for a Mitchell PTO sponsored science fair/science night.

On Friday, May 12 kids will bring and display their completed projects to school at 5:30 PM. They will have the opportunity to present their projects and see the projects of other kids.
At 6:30 PM we will all go to the multi-purpose room for family movie night! All participating children must be with a supervising adult. It's going to be a great night!
