The March “Take It and Make It Kit” is now available. Stop by the library to get all the materials you need
to make an origami jumping bunny. Remote students can email Mrs. Fickes (mfickes@lps.org) to request a kit be placed with their pickup materials.

Please join the Mickle PTSO for the next meeting March 4 at 6:30.  Do you like to recognize people?  Do you like to come up with creative ideas?  Are you interested in how you can help support teachers and students at Mickle?  We are looking for people to join the leadership team and committees for next year as a part of succession planning as many of the current leaders will move on after their 8th graders leave next year.   We will talk about the positions, time commitments, etc. on the 4th.  Please join us and help continue the tradition of supporting Mickle!

*Tuesday, Feb. 23, is an early release day.  Students will be released at 1:40p and should be off campus no later than 1:55p. Just a reminder…There are no clubs offered on early release days.

*Do you know a child or teen who has experienced the death of someone significant?
Join Mourning Hope for our online Family Grief Support Group.
March 16 – April 20 | Tuesdays
5:15 p.m. to 6 p.m.: ages 6 to 9
6:15 p.m. to 7 p.m.: ages 10 to 12
7:15 p.m. to 8 p.m.: adult caregivers
8:15 p.m. to 9 p.m.: ages 13 to 18
This free, online support group is for families with children ages 6 through 18 who have experienced the death of someone significant in their lives. Caregivers attend a separate group to receive education on how to support a grieving child, as well as grief support themselves.
This group enables both youth and their caregivers to develop healthy coping skills and work through complex emotions associated with the death. Most importantly, children and teens will recognize they are not alone in their grief.
This group is hosted via Zoom, an online video conferencing platform. Participants will need access to a computer, tablet or smartphone, and must pre-register to receive an invitation link.

**2021-2022 Principal at Mickle Announced
Current Irving Middle School Principal, Jason Shanahan, will be Mickle’s new principal next year. Mr. Shanahan will officially begin his duties on July 1, but we will be working on a transition process this spring.

He was Schoo’s instructional coordinator from 2012-14, before moving to Irving as the associate principal. Mr. Shanahan was named Irving’s principal in 2016.

We will be working on opportunities for you to meet and visit with Mr. Shanahan in the future. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Shanahan to Mickle!
Thank you,

→ entry should be related to golf in some way. Mickle-related is a bonus!

→ black and white only. 

→ an original design created by YOU. Designs found online or traced will not be accepted.
