Each day at Mitchell, students participate in Morning Meeting, a time when we greet each other, share, do an activity and get ready for learning for the day. It is a research based practice that is part of our School Improvement Plan.

Some students come to school early to practice their string instruments. Interested? Talk to Mr. Tolly to find out more.

Donations To Mitchell School - Thank You!

I want to recognize several donations made this past fall to Mitchell School from our greater community in support of a variety of school needs.

Please join me in thanking the following people and organizations for their support at Mitchell:

• Jean Karr (Mr. Karr's mom) for her support of the Mitchell noon hour program and 34 new board games used during indoor noon hour;
• James and Edna Mae Caris (Mr. Karr's father and mother-in-law) for their donation supporting needed school supplies as we go through the second half of this school year;
• An anonymous donation of $1000 (Wow! - Thank you!) for general support and school improvement initiatives;
• Bethel A.M.E. of Ann Arbor, a local church, for donating $525 to the Mitchell School fifth grade camp fund;
• Heather Strack, Nancy Neff (former Mitchell parent) and NSK Corporation for their support of general school supplies.

On behalf of the Mitchell staff and the greater Mitchell School community, we appreciate your help and support of our mission. 

Sincerely,
Kevin Karr
