COMMITTEES & PROGRAMS

Mitchell PTA's numerous events and programs are possible thanks to the help of amazing volunteers who work on the committees listed below! We currently have several openings for the 2024-25 school year and would love to get your help to make these programs possible. Please note that our goal is to have multiple volunteers for each committee.
