Welcome and welcome back to Mitchell, the Coolest School on Earth!
Please join us next Tuesday, Sept 22nd at 6pm
in the Media Center at Mitchell. This is a crucial meeting to form a
new PTO Board and set the schedule for this year's activities and
events. It’s also a great way to hear from our Principals about the
happenings at Mitchell.As we gear up for a new school year, I’d like you all to take some time to talk to your kids about our activities outside of normal school hours. What was their favorite activity? Would you be willing to help in the planning and running of that event? We are beginning the 2015-16 school year with one board member and need your help. We are currently in need of a Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraising Chair, Member-at-large and additional volunteers for PTO events.
If you are unfamiliar, we sponsor activities such as: the school directory, book fairs, Fun Run, Talent Show, Ice Cream Social, Family Fun Night, teacher appreciation events, Fall Fest, Science Olympiad, spirit wear, and restaurant nights. We do this to create family fun activities for our community as well as fundraise for field trips and extra curricular activities.
Please consider joining the PTO board for the 2015-16 school year. No Experience Required! This is a great time to bring new ideas or expand on old ideas and help lead the Mitchell community. Many functions do require planning ahead, others require a few hours a year.
Remember,
as a parent/guardian at Mitchell, you are already a member of the PTO.
You may notice early on, things will not be as they have in the past.
Please realize this is not an oversight…activities are volunteer
dependent and we’ll need a strong group to make events happen.
Please contact me at ptomitchell@gmail.com or come to a PTO meeting. Our first meeting is scheduled for September 22nd
at 6pm in the Media Center at Mitchell. In the meantime, I’m happy to
email you or meet with you or call in the evenings. As we do our best
to raise the next generation of leaders, let’s do it by example!
Thanks for reading and I hope to see many of you soon!
