Science Olympiad needs your help!

Every Monday and Friday after school, magic is happening-SCIENCE MAGIC! Mitchell's Science Olympiad team is hard at work, practicing for their events and learning so much about aerodynamics, engineering, chemistry, nature, biology, communication, and teamwork. The Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad is being held at Pioneer High School on June third. Which means there is still plenty of time to join in the fun! Second through Fifth graders are all welcome, as are any and all parents who are interested in coaching. You can choose to coach full time (Mondays, Fridays, or both) or volunteer to assist the main coaches on any or all practice days. We also need donations of snacks and drinks, please sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/MitchScience2017
