• Fundraising

    Friends of Mitchell (FoM) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed by parents, teachers, and members of the community to raise funds for school needs.

  • Building Community

    FoM organizes events, both large and small, to fundraise, foster friendships, and have fun!

  • Investing

    Money raised by FoM pays for a multitude of programs, teachers, equipment, curriculum, field trips, and more each year.

Get Involved

Come to a FoM meeting or event, it’s fun! Next steps could be leading a committee, helping with Evening of Dreams (the biggest annual fundraiser), or even joining the Board.
