Trunk Or Treat
The great Mitchell Elementary tradition of Trunk or Treat will happen in the parking lot at 6PM on Friday, October 30. For the uninitiated, 20ish families park their cars in our parking lot, decorate them with a whacky theme, and pass out candy for our kids. It's like going house to house but closer, and with 100 of their closest friends!
What do we need from our community?
Wear costumes!
Supervise your kiddos!

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!
Movie Night
Friends of Mitchell is excited to host Mitchell Movie Night on Friday, September 11 in the Mitchell parking lot. The event is FREE and open to the entire Mitchell community, so bring the whole family!
