Dear Mitchell Bobcat Families,

Welcome to a brand new year at Mitchell Elementary! Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another year, we are so excited to have you as part of our Mitchell family.

As your new PTA President, I want you to know how deeply committed I am to serving our school community and ensuring our students, families, and staff feel supported and connected. The PTA’s mission is to enrich the educational experience for every student while building a warm, inclusive community where families can come together, support one another, and have fun along the way.

This year, we have many opportunities for you to get involved, whether it’s volunteering at events, helping with fundraisers, sharing your skills, or simply showing up and lending your voice. Every act of participation, no matter how small, helps strengthen our school community and directly impacts our children’s experiences.

I also want to ensure the PTA is a place for open communication and collaboration. We value your feedback, your ideas, and your unique perspectives. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our board throughout the year. We are here to listen, learn, and grow together.

I am incredibly grateful for the work of our past PTA leaders who have built a strong foundation for us to continue making a difference at Mitchell. I look forward to building upon that legacy with you, as we work together to create an environment where our children can thrive and where families feel connected and supported.

You can find PTA registration forms and information at www.mitchellelementarypta.org. We are using Membership Toolkit as our platform, and if you’ve used it before, your previous login will still work. Otherwise, you can easily create a new account to sign up and stay connected with all our upcoming programs and events.

Together, let’s make this a year of meaningful memories, growth, and joy for our students. Thank you for being an essential part of our Mitchell community. I am looking forward to serving alongside you. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or any one of the members listed on the current Board Roster Contact Sheet that is posted to the PTA website.

Go Bobcats!

Best Regards,

Shayla Talbert
Mitchell Elementary PTA President, 2025-2027
