The student council has requested that Friday, February 15 be recognized as Wacky Hair Day!
Students are invited to make their hair look wacky on Friday . . . . provided they can still focus on learning during the day!
This is going to be memorable!

Used Book Sale Donor Thank You!
This past week, the Mitchell School PTO held their semi-annual book fair fundraiser . . . and each student left the fair with at least one book from the gently used section of the book fair.
It is our hope that each student took their book home this past weekend to read and enjoy - more than once! We are also hoping to continue to supply students with books for them to build their "personal library" at home. This is important because we know that the more students read (and enjoy reading), the more they are likely to learn. Parents - please consider helping your child find a special place for them to keep their books for their library.
The books children received were made possible with the help and donations of several generous Friends of Mitchell School including:

Parent Involvement Day - Monday, February 11 - Come To School!
Dear Mitchell School Parents,
All parents are invited to be a part of Mitchell's plans as we observe National African American Parent Involvement Day (NAAPID) on Monday, February 11, 2013.
What is NAAPID?
NAAPID is a national call to action to get all parents, but particularly those of African American children, more involved in the education of their children. It is expected that this national observation will open up dialogue among teachers, parents, and students, which will lead to a more conducive learning environment for all students.
What happens during NAAPID?
Parents are invited to be a part of the school day at Mitchell. This includes being a part of your child's classes—even the noon hour. You might want to bring a sack lunch and eat with your child during lunch.
Also, the Mitchell staff will set up a hospitality table with refreshments. Please stop by and enjoy the treats!
We hope to see many, many families at Mitchell School on February 11.
Sincerely,
Kevin Karr and the Mitchell School NAAPID Committee
