Upcoming Events
Western on Washington
As the PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year, the Western on Washington (WoW) pays for all the enrichment programs, events, and resources that the school budget doesn't cover. Without WoW, these beloved PTA-funded programs will simply go away. We need your help to make WoW happen in 2025! Contact chair Renee Maxwell (renee.nicole.maxwell@gmail.com) for a list of available volunteer opportunities and to join our Zoom meeting on Oct. 10.
Winter Clothing Drive
Do you have gently-used clothing in sizes 3T to adult? Please consider donating them during the week of September 23 during the Mitchell PTA Clothing Drive. Please bring clothes to school, where there will be bins available for drop-off each day. All donations will be given to the Serving Kids Program, which provides new and nearly-new clothing to Jeffco school children from Pre-K through high school who are in need. Donations should be new or clean and in good repair. Items in greatest need are sneakers, winter coats, snow boots, pants and tops, and winter hats and gloves in all sizes. Note: donated socks and underwear must be new and in original packaging. You can also make a tax-deductible donation through the Jeffco Schools Foundation. Questions? Email Erin at efurtak@gmail.com
