A few important reminders and announcements from the Mitchell PTO


Science Olympiad – Please read this important announcement

This is just a friendly reminder that all Science Olympiad Registration forms need to be turned in by December 2nd. With the short school week next week, that leaves only 5 school days to get the forms turned in! 
Head Coach still needed.  The Head Coach organizes the teams, practices, coaches, paperwork etc.  S/He also handle any issues that may come up and answers any questions from Event Coaches.  This is a leadership and organizational role, no science required.  WESO has scheduled a Head Coach meeting for Dec 10th. If you are interested in leading our Science Olympiad team, please email stacie@mikancorp.com for more details.

Event Coaches still needed.  Event coaches meet with students for one hour, once a week for about 15 weeks (end of January to the first week of May) to practice a specific event.  Coaching requires dedication and patience.  SCIENCE BACKGROUND NOT REQUIRED! The Event Coach sign up is attached to your child’s registration sheet.

Science Olympiad CAN NOT HAPPEN without coaches.  Please consider this important role.
