Complete Vision Care will be returning to Mitchell Elementary on October 14-15, 2025 offering vision exams and eyeglasses. They offer care for students with or without insurance. If your student participated last year, this is a good opportunity to get their yearly follow up appointment. Complete Vision Care will come on campus and Dr. Leonard and his mobile team will see students during school hours. If you have any questions please contact me at 602-442-2600 and ask for Roxana.
