Mitchell Family Literacy Fund - GOAL Achieved!

On October 18, 2013, Mitchell School announced the Mitchell School Literacy Fund initiative as a way to support of achievement at Mitchell and the literacy goals in the Mitchell School Improvement Plan.  Our goal was to raise $50,000 in order to create a permanent endowment to provide free books and family literacy events.  

Today I am so happy to share that our initial goal for the Mitchell Family Literacy Fund has been achieved . . . $50,000+!  We'll use the earnings from the endowment to fund book purchases for students to read during the summer months or when they are away from school.
