Pictures with Mitch
Officer Joe and Officer Mitch are working together with the Guidance Department to raise money for local families in need this holiday season. For a $1 - $5 donation, students can have their picture taken with Mitch wearing festive holiday attire. Families are encouraged to give the amount they are comfortable giving.
