Week of October 17

Greetings Families,

This week we will have a visit from the Prism Quartet--a group of world renowned saxophone players with ties to Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. This program is brought to Mitchell in coordination with the MAC program (Michigan Artist Citizens) which your child will be invited to participate in later this school year.  For more info about the quartet click here.

Parent-Teacher conferences will take place on Monday and Thursday this week.  These are student led conferences.  Your child will share their goals for the year, areas in which they hope to improve, as well as their proudest moments thus far this school year.  If you are unable to attend your scheduled conference time, please reschedule with me prior to the conference date. 

The kids are SUPER excited for camp.  Cabin assignments (subject to change if necessary) and packing lists were shared last week.  Thank you to families for sending in pledge forms, health forms, and full or partial payments.  Some families have even been generous to pledge additional money to support a student whose family was unable to financially support camp.  It feels good to have our community come together to support each other so that we all can experience camp together!  THANK YOU!  Mr. Krigbaum has a camp page he updates with photos throughout our trip.  You can find it here.  One correction, our bus will return to Mitchell BEFORE the early release time.  Your child can go home as they usually do--bus, pick-up, or walk home.
