🌈 A HUGE THANK YOU, MITCHELL COMMUNITY! 🌈

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire Mitchell community for coming out to the Color Run last night! With all the brightly colored shirts, colorful faces, and BIG smiles, it was clear that everyone had an absolute blast—and we certainly did too! 💙💛💚🩷

A special thank-you to Kona Ice for the delicious treats! They were definitely a huge hit! 🍧

We are also incredibly grateful to our wonderful volunteers for their time, energy, and support of the Mitchell PTA. Your dedication helps make these fun experiences possible for our students and families, and we couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

We can’t wait to see you all at our next event in October… 👻🎃 THE MONSTER MASH! 🎃👻

Stay tuned for more details! We hope to see you there! 🧡

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is the Color Run from 5–7 PM on the lower playground! We can’t wait to see everyone there! Here are a few important things to note:

1️⃣ Online preregistration closes TONIGHT at 9 PM! Walk-up registration will be available tomorrow starting at 5 PM.

Here is registration link:

2️⃣ Preordered T-shirts: If you ordered a Color Run T-shirt, it will be given to you when you check in. The Fieldhouse restrooms will be open if you need a place to change. If you didn’t buy a t-shirt, that’s ok! Any white or light colored shirt will work great to show the colors as you run by the Color Blasters!

3️⃣ The Run: We will begin the actual Color Run around 5:40 PM, so make sure you’re checked in and ready to go!

4️⃣ Food & Treats: 🍧 Kona Ice will be there with delicious treats available for purchase! We’ll also have light snacks and drinks available at our concession table. Cash is encouraged, but cards will be accepted.

5️⃣ THANK YOU! ❤️ A huge thank you to everyone who has signed up to volunteer and donated items! We truly appreciate your support and everything you do to help make our Color Run such a fun event for our Mitchell families!

🌈 We’ll see you tomorrow for an evening full of COLOR, fun, and memories! 🌈

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped make High Interest Day such a wonderful event! From our volunteers and presenters to our staff and families, your support helped create a fun and memorable experience for all of our students.

We have received so much positive feedback from both staff and kiddos, and we truly appreciate all of the time, energy, and enthusiasm that went into making the day a success. Seeing our students engaged, excited, and trying new things is what High Interest Day is all about!

Thank you again for helping make this event so special. We are already looking forward to next year and finding even more ways to make it bigger and better.

Please enjoy some pictures from the day! 📸😊
