With a nearly 1,000 percent increase in the Latino population at one area Ann Arbor elementary school, it’s a good thing the school’s custodian and secretary speak Spanish.

Despite all the growth at Mitchell Elementary, the school has no bi-lingual staff certified to teach Spanish, which explains why Principal Kathy Scarnecchia and ESL teacher Patty Jarosz have created a highly successful Family ESL (English as a second language) program. The group meets twice a week and is for parents who want help with their English. Meanwhile, their students are in a room down the hall working on their homework.
