A big thank you to our transportation and maintenance workers this morning! They arrived early to make sure our buildings were heated and got all of our buses started on their routes on time! When making decisions about delays, it isn't just the weather and temperature we are looking at for school start times, but the temperature and precipitation data at the time the first bus starts its route. In deciding between a one hour and two hour delay this morning, there was only a temperature difference of one degree. We are glad we could get our students into warm buildings with breakfast, start a very busy and festive week in our elementary and middle schools, and keep our high school students on their exam schedule.

Mitchell Miners’ School Ambassadors took on the challenge of giving back to the community this week. School Ambassadors are a group of middle school students who are learning to lead through acts of service. On Monday, November 24, the ambassadors made a stop at Mountain Opportunity Center in Bakersville, NC. They assisted the clients in painting turkeys in celebration of the Thanksgiving Holiday. Both the clients of MOC and the students of Mitchell Mitchell had a blast and look forward to future collaborations.
