As I began looking at the calendar to share upcoming dates with you--I realized we have a lot coming up!
- 1/26 Little Caesar's Pizza Kit Orders Due
- 1/27 Listening Campaign
At
a PTO meeting earlier this school year, a proposal was brought forward
to engage in an intentional process of building relationships and
fostering a more connected community here at Mitchell School. This
proposal was considered by the PTO group and it was recommended that we
move forward to implement what is being called - The Mitchell
Listening Campaign
Ellen Patnaude, Mitchell 4th
grade parent, will lead this group. One of the most effective ways to
find out what other people are thinking about, excited about, concerned
about, and what is most important to them is to engage in one-on-one
conversation. To this end, a group of parents is forming with the
intent of getting to know other parents and building our school
community.
On
Wednesday, January 27 from 5:30-8:30 Ellen Patnaude will lead a
training for interested parents who will learn how to engage others in
an effective one-on-one conversation. If you're interested in learning
more you are invited to attend the training and/or reach out to Ellen.

This
program
introduces and explains the culture areas or regions of North America.
It shows how the Native Americans used their environment to survive and
how each culture area is different based on what they had to use in
each region. We will cover stone tools, plant materials, shells and
animal parts that were used by Native Americans. Examples from many
different culture areas are represented. This program follows the Michigan fifth grade social studies curriculum and is
suitable for students in fourth grade or above.
