Hello MESA families,

We are also hosting our first annual Hornet Harvest. Please take a moment to read our newsletter to learn more about these events and opportunities to get involved with MESA! You can also access the flyer going home with your child this week here.
We hope everyone has a great first day back to school and a fantastic 2022-23 school year.

Kindergarten families are invited to our annual Kindergarten Social. Miss Stacy from Small Singers and Shakers will perform. This is a great opportunity for our youngest students to meet their new friends outside of class. Siblings are welcome. Popsicles will be provided, so registration is required to ensure we have an accurate head count.

MESA is looking for volunteers for key positions as we begin the school year. If you can help out or want to learn more, please email [email protected].
-
Takeout Tuesday (TOT) Coordinator - Each month, MESA teams up with a local restaurant for a fundraiser to benefit our schools. The TOT Coordinator will be the point of contact between MESA and the restaurant manager to select a date, obtain a flyer, and share the information with the board so we can promote the event. This role does not require a huge time commitment on the part of the coordinator but is a huge help to us!
-
Robinson Book Fair Co-Chair - MESA hosts two book fairs a year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The co-chair will help to organize and run the book fairs. This person should be available the week of the fairs to help the events run smoothly. We have an experienced chair at Robinson who will help bring you up to speed in no time!
-
Yearbook Photographers - If you are interested in taking photos during the year for either the J/J or Robinson yearbook, please reach out!

MESA is the non-profit parent organization of the Robinson and Jordan/Jackson elementary schools. We facilitate fundraising, enrichment, and community building fun for our schools and students.
We are always looking for help, new ideas and involvement!
