Good Afternoon!
The Mitchell Co Dept of Social Services is currently accepting applications for a temporary food assistance program called D-SNAP. This program has been created by the State of North Carolina in order to help families in counties affected by Helene. This program is available to residents who would otherwise not qualify for the ongoing SNAP program due to being over income limits.
People are encouraged to apply by phone at the D-SNAP Virtual Call Center at 1-844-453-1117 or complete a pre-registration online using the ePASS Pre-Registration Tool, which will open on Oct. 15 for pre-registration and close on Oct. 22. Applicants will then receive a call to complete the registration with an interview over the phone.
People can also apply at a D-SNAP location in their county. For a full list of places to apply and for more details, visit ncdhhs.gov/dsnap.

On Tuesday, October 15th, Troyers and Friends will be providing breakfast at 8:00 AM, lunch at 12:00 PM, and supper at 5:00 PM at the new Mitchell Elementary/Middle School. They will not be able to take call-ahead orders, as this will be first-come, first-served. They successfully served nearly 850 plates tonight, so try to arrive as close to the allotted times as possible. Also, please enter off of 226, circling around the front of the building and continuing to the back of the building for pickup. They will continue serving until the food runs out. The cooking is delicious, and we hope you stop by and enjoy!

Please consider donating to one of these funds, which will go directly toward student trips that have already been planned. Deposits and payments are due for some of the trips, and we do not want to ask our students to pay any money during this difficult time. This is one way we can offer a little hope and a sense of normalcy.
Our Juniors and Seniors already missed out on school trips during COVID, and we don’t want that to happen again this year due to circumstances beyond our control. Please share this message with any contacts you may have outside of our community!

MCS Update...
Thank you to our staff, students, and parents for the work you have done in our communities for the past 2 weeks. We believe that all students and staff have been accounted for and cannot wait to welcome them back to our buildings. Please know that we are working hard to get our students back to school as soon as possible. We do have a few announcements...
1. All K-5 students may stop by their school on Tuesday to pick up a learning exploration kit. These will include fun literacy, math, and art activities for students while they are out of school.
2. We know college application deadlines are quickly approaching for high school seniors. We will have staff available to help seniors with these next week.
3. Varsity high school sports will resume next week on a revised schedule. The MHS Varsity Volleyball team will play Heritage and Avery at Mitchell Middle School beginning at 12:00pm on Wednesday. Admission is $5. The MHS Varsity Football team will travel to Draughn next Saturday, October 19 for a 2:00pm kickoff.
We know there are many needs to be met over the next weeks and months. Please know we are here to support our entire school community,however possible.

Our MCS leadership teams have met the past two days to discuss the immediate and future needs of our schools and students. While we are working to make sure basic needs are met, we are also looking at the remainder of the school year. Our students and their families have faced losses that will cause financial hardships for the foreseeable future. We are still planning for field trips to happen as would be scheduled during a normal school year, especially the OBX trip for 8th grade, Washington DC trip for Juniors, and the Senior Trip. We want every student who wants to attend these trips to have the opportunity to go. The link below will go to a fund that will provide these opportunities for students when they return to school. Thank you so much for helping us take care of all the needs of our students.

Late last night, flooding threatened our gym, auditorium, band room, and commons area of Mitchell High School. A huge thank you to our custodians, SROs, maintenance, coaches, board of education, school administrators, central office, Ledger Fire Department, and Tanner Winchester from Vannoy Construction for working in the rain and mud to prevent damage to our school. Situations like this remind us what a wonderful group of people we work with inside our schools and in the community.
