Lunch this Week
No Deliveries
Parents, we know you are excited to celebrate Valentine's Day with your child but please do not send deliveries to school. Our office does not have the capability of making deliveries to students during the school day.
Kids Heart Challenge
Did you know we have kicked off our Kids Heart Challenge for this year? This is our school wide community service project where we get to help raise money for a good cause. With your support, we can fight heart disease and stroke, which are the No. 1 and No. 5 causes of death in the United States, as well as congenital heart defects, which are the No. 1 birth defect of all babies. Nearly everyone knows someone who has been touched by these.
Registration has begun, and we would like to invite you to join the effort as part of our school team at http://www2.heart.org/goto/MitchellRoad . Please join us in completing Finn’s Mission where we can lead by example and learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR alongside our students and families, while raising critical donations.
Middle School Curriculum Nights
Fifth Grade Families: Middle School Curriculum Nights are coming up! Please make plans to attend the curriculum night for the middle school your child will attend. For curriculum nights that are virtual, please visit that school’s website for the link to the event. Please reach out to Mrs. Kincaid, School Counselor if you have questions!
Reading All Star Program
Tomorrow starts the window of the spring Reading All Star Program Challenge for this year! Students will be bringing home a form with more information. Participating is easy though! All students need to do is read 5 books between January 22 and February 23. Students turn in their form showing the books they read and they will earn a FREE student ticket to a Greenville Drive baseball game in April. We would love to see more of our Mustangs at the game this year so please encourage your child to read over the next month to qualify.
Run Hard Registration Now Open
Is your child interested in participating in our Run Hard after school club this spring? Registration is now open! This club is open to 3rd - 5th grade students. Go to www.runhard.org to get registered as soon as possible because spots are limited.
Student Research Project
A current Greenville County student is doing a research project and she has asked for parents of elementary students to complete a survey where the child responds to questions. The survey provides a description, a parent consent, a minor consent, and then asks elementary-aged participants to choose their favorite image out of a list of images and asks for the parent's income and highest level of education received. No identifying information (Names, emails, ages, phone numbers) are collected. This is completely optional.
