Mitchell Middle School Newsletter
October Edition
Parent Teacher Conferences
While there are a number of avenues available for parents to keep track of student progress, a lot can be accomplished with a brief fate-to-face meeting with the teacher, student, and parent present. It is also a great time to see the changes and updates we have done at the middle school!
Picture Retakes are Wednesday, October 4th during SRB time. Order Forms in the Office
Red Ribbon Week is Coming!
Red Ribbon Week will be the week of October 23rd. Red Ribbon Week started back in 1988 it was to honor a young DEA Agent by the name of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. He was kidnapped and killed in Mexico back in 1985. He had uncovered a multi-billion dollar drug scam which might have involved the Mexican Army, police force and government. In 1988 the U.S. Congress proclaimed the first Red Ribbon Week supporting the cause that "Kiki" had given his life for. It is one of the first times that ribbons were used to support a cause, the fight against drugs. We will be doing several things at the Mitchell Middle School to commemorate Red Ribbon Week. We will be hosting several dress up days all week:
Monday 23- Bullying can be sneaky! Don't let it sneak up on you (Wear Sneakers!)
Tuesday 24- Be a good sport and report bullying! (Wear a shirt or jersey from your favorite team)
