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.
Several students at Mitchell Elementary and Mitchell Middle began the Thanksgiving holiday a few days early with a Friendsgiving celebration!

Our classrooms have been busy bringing BIG imagination to life through art! From bold colors to thoughtful designs, our students are expressing themselves, building confidence, and showcasing their incredible talents.
