Queridas familias,
As always, it was a pleasure to see so many families during our Parent-Teacher conferences. Thank you for taking the time to talk to your teachers about your student’s learning.
Spring Break
Today will be the last day of school prior to Spring Break. We wish all families a wonderful and restful week. Classes will resume on April 2, 2024.
WO Mitchell Read-A-Thon
Our first annual Read-A-Thon was a great success! Thank you to all of the families who participated in this event. There were 5 students who won a $20 credit at the book fair. All students were very excited and appreciative.
Havana Cuban Dance Residency
With the amazing support of our Parent Council, we have an upcoming physical education residency. From April 2-12, students will work with Havana Dance Company to learn some Latin dance moves. Over the next two weeks, we ask that students come prepared to participate in the dancing residency and that they wear clothes that will allow them to comfortably move in.
Spring Musical
The Spring Musical is quickly approaching! Students in Grades 3, 4 and 5 will be performing on Wednesday April 17. Please mark your calendar if you wish to attend.

A Note from the Community...
After 27 years serving the community at Silver Springs Preschool, teacher Julie McLeod is retiring! A memory book is being created as a retirement present, and if your family had the joy of having Mrs. McLeod teach one of your children (or maybe she taught some parents!) we would love to hear from you! Memories, best wishes and photo submissions due April 3.

WO Mitchell School Council
WO Council helps connect parents to the school and provides additional learning opportunities for all students. There are many ways to get involved that do not require you to hold a position on council.

This will be a hybrid meeting in person and via Microsoft Teams. The grade 3 team will be presenting during this meeting.
