Are there any Jr/SR teens that are able to help with Pizza Ranch this Monday, the 22nd? We just clear tables and then we get 10%of the profits from 5-8pm. I coudl use 2 teens from 5 to 630 slot, and need about 4 teens and an adult for the 6:30 to 8pm shift. The fundraiser goes towards our science labs for the Jr/Sr to help lower the price. =) Let me know if one of these will work for you!

Thank you, Gay

NO FAMILY COOP TOMORROW!!
Many of us live outside of Mitchell, and because of the weather we have had so far and the uncertainty of what the rest of the day and night will hold, we will NOT be having Family Coop tomorrow. We will have both Jr. Sr. Coop and Family Coop on April 26th. Jr Sr will run from 9:00-12:00 and Family Coop will be from 9:15-11:30. Both will be at Mitchell Wesleyan Church.
