The UNfundraiser Is Back! |
MESA is excited to bring back our annual UNfundraiser! We know how busy families are, so wanted to make this fundraiser as easy as possible.
An UNfundraiser is easy because there is nothing for children to sell, nothing for parents to buy, and 100% of your donation goes directly to the programs MESA runs for your child/children.
How do you participate? It's as simple as writing a check! Our yearly budget breaks down to approximately $35 a student, but any donation amount is appreciated. Also, please check with your employer about donation matching for our non-profit organization.
Please donate online or mail a check to:
MESA
245 East Street
Mansfield, MA 02048
by October 24th
If you send cash or check to school in your child's classroom folder, please put it in an envelope labeled: MESA UNfundraiser. Be sure to include your name, your child's name, and their teacher.

Please help us meet our fundraising goal for the 2022-2023 school year early!
Thank you for supporting MESA!

MESA depends on volunteers to run our events and programs throughout the year. Please consider helping us out this year. If you want to learn more, please email [email protected].
-
Staff Appreciation Committee - We are looking for several people to join this committee. These volunteers will help coordinate our annual teacher dinners held during fall and spring conferences as well as other projects throughout the year to celebrate the amazing staff and the work they do for our kids!
-
Yearbook Photographers - If you are interested in taking photos during the year for either the J/J or Robinson yearbook, please reach out!
-
Accounts Payable Treasurer - MESA is looking for a new treasurer to join the board for the 2023-24 school year. It may seem early, but identifying a treasurer now will give the person time to learn the ropes from our current treasurers.
|
|
Get your CORI Check Checked off your to-do list! |
If you plan to volunteer at MESA events, you must have a valid CORI on file with Mansfield Public Schools - it's state law.
Getting a CORI check is fast and easy. Simply fill out the form that was sent home at the start of school and return it to your child's classroom teacher, along with a copy of your photo ID.
Please note, you must submit a CORI to MPS even if you have a CORI through your employer, a local sports organization, etc.
