Thank you to everyone who attended Spring Fling on Friday night. The weather was perfect, the food trucks served delicious food, the drinks were refreshing, and the company was the best. It was an incredibly successful night thanks to all of you! |

This night was made possible thanks to our AMAZING Spring Fling Committee. These ladies did it all! They booked the venue, the band, the food, the flowers, and they spent countless hours calling and emailing businesses to collect donations for the live and silent auctions.
Thank you to the committee chair Michelle Walsh (far right), and the entire committee (right to left): Libby O'Neill, Mary Chappuis, Melissa Gordy, Amelia Fyler, Kerry Tarallo, and Jill Policastro.

With the help of the 5th grade staff, reading specialists, and our fantastic parent donations, MESA is happy to announce that we are able to bring back this enrichment program to our 5th-grade students. Each student receives a copy of The War that Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley to keep! As classrooms read the book and discuss related topics, they will also participate in a Coin Drive to benefit Save The Children, the world's leading humanitarian organization for children. The money raised will help provide relief to children in need around the world.
Kids Helping Kids!!
5th graders can fill classroom coin jars until 5/31. We cannot wait to announce how much the kids raise… start searching those couch cushions!

This is a great chance to see what MESA is all about, welcome the new board and say goodbye to our departing board members. Even if this is your first MESA meeting or your kids are just entering kindergarten next year, we would love to have you join us! Children are always welcome!
