Sip N Stroll

The deal: this is a 21+, adults only house to house crawl through the neighborhood (think pub crawl, but friends houses). Each stop brings its own themed cocktails and delicious bites, all hosted by your favorite fellow Mitchell parents.

It’s an afternoon to mingle, meet other parents, and enjoy some grown up time while raising money for our school. Whether you sipped your way through last year or you’re brand new to the crawl, this is THE parent event of the fall.


So find a sitter, clear your schedule, and get ready to sip, stroll, and support Mitchell. See you out there!
