Good News for the Mitchell English Language Learner (ELL) department!

This week a Karen Thomas Grant was awarded to Susan Atkins for her proposal for an ELL family literacy after-school project that will run this spring. Parent-student pairs will partake in activities to develop interactive reading and writing skills at home. The theme for this class centers around the Hispanic tradition of "Dia del Niño," or Day of the Child. Thanks to the grant, students and parents will receive bilingual books to take home, and bound writing journals in which to compose family stories.
