NAAPID - "Take Your Child to School/Visit Your Child in School" Day - February 13

February 6, 2012

Dear Mitchell School Families,

You are invited to be a part of Mitchell’s plans as we observe NAAPID on Monday, February 13, 2012. This letter communicates information about our plans for NAAPID.

What is NAAPID?

NAAPID - "Take Your Child to School/Visit Your Child in School" Day

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.

During NAAPID, parents (or grandparents or uncles/aunts or someone else special in your family) are invited to be a part of the school day at Mitchell. This includes being a part of your child’s classes—and even the noon hour. Bring a sack lunch and be a part of the excitement!

When you visit, the Mitchell staff will set up a hospitality table in the teacher’s lounge (which is across from the school media center) with refreshments. Please stop by and enjoy the treats!

We hope that you will make time in your busy schedule to be a part of this important day.

Sincerely,

Kevin Karr
