Goals for Mitchell Library

*Collaborate with teachers so every student learns to access, evaluate, and use information through planned activities.

*Join others in the learning community to encourage every student to read, view, and listen for information, realizing these practices are necessary for literacy and form the basis for a successful and productive life.

*Administer a planned program that provides a welcoming environment conducive to learning and promotes students’ intellectual and personal growth.

Parent"s Corner

Thank you so much for volunteering to help in the library at Mitchell Elementary. It is because of your dedication to the students of our school that we have a wonderful environment for our students. Most importantly parents are needed to help with our yearly Book Fair. The money raised from the Book Fair is used to purchase new books and materials for our library- so it is a very important fund raiser. Please contact Mrs. Wills if you are interested in helping in the library. You will receive a scheduled time to help during the year.
