-Mariachi Vargas
We are excited to announce that we are taking an all-school field trip to the University of Michigan to see Mariachi Vargas on April 1, 2016! Permission slips have gone home with your child. We would like to invite two parent-chaperones per class, so please communicate with your child’s teacher if you are interested in attending the concert.
When we return to Mitchell after the concert, student volunteers from the University of Michigan will visit classrooms for an interactive read-aloud event with bilingual Spanish and English books honoring the life and legacy of Cesar E. Chavez, a labor and human rights activist who co-founded with Dolores Huerta the United Farm Workers of America—UFW. We invite all parents to join us and participate in this interactive read-aloud time in their child’s classroom, which will begin at 1pm.
Through the concert and reading event, we aim to expand our knowledge of Mexican American culture and history. We welcome all families to learn with us and contribute to deepening our connections between Mitchell School and our communities.
