On Friday, May 9, 2025, ELC and Pre-K enjoyed an activity-filled Fun Day. Due to the possibility of rain, Fun Day was held in the gym, but a good time was still had by all the students. There were eight kid-friendly activities that included basketball throw, sack race, running relay, egg in spoon race, Duck Duck Goose game, parachute play, ball and plunger relay, and the "serve it up" relay. MCPS is a great place to be everyday but especially on Fun Day because...."They Not Like Us"!

On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, Mitchell County Primary School and Mitchell County Elementary School partnered together at MCPS to hold Camp Read-A-Lot. Students and their families were treated to two hours of literacy games, informational sessions, reading time, and of course, S’mores! Games included such activities as alphabet fishing, reading skill scavenger hunts, sight word duck pond, trail mix station, and a multisyllabic words I-Spy game. Parents learned more about the Write Score test, and they were given the opportunity to read with their children by flashlight in tents with books provided by the MCPS media center. Finally, after completing three stations, reading in the gym, and taking a parent survey, everyone received S’mores and popcorn. The event was very well attended, and everyone there left with S’more reading skills. Click on the headline for more photos of the event!

Read Across America Week started out well on March 3, 2025 with the community coming out to support reading. Local citizens joined us here at MCPS to show students the importance of reading and the fun you can have with a good book. Celebrity Readers consisted of MCSS Board Office personnel including Superintendent Dr. Veronica Brown, retired educators, MCHS athletes, and librarians from MCMS and the public library. Every class had at least one celebrity reader; some even had two! A very special guest indeed put in an appearance and visited all the classrooms throughout the day--Mr. Cat-in-the-Hat himself!
