Midsummer, the Hey Diddle Diddle classroom at the Mitchell Early Learning Center was a meeting room. But thanks to DMPS School Board member Rob Barron, it was the site Thursday morning for one of life’s most poignant rites of passage: the very first first day of school for a fresh batch of four-year-olds.
Anyone able and willing to go above and beyond their duty as a taxpayer, just as Barron has as a board member, to help retire the district’s preschool waiting list, is welcomed to join the effort. Donations may be made through this online fundraiser  or contact Barron directly at Rob.Barron@dmschools.org
