We're excited to hold this year's Spring Fling at the Norton Country Club. It's close to Mansfield, so we hope more of you can attend. Spring Fling is one of our big fundraisers. It's an adults-only night out with food, drinks, music and tons of great raffles, live and silent auctions! Tickets cost $50 each, but for a limited time only, you can buy a pair of tickets for $90 with the promo code LUCKY24 until March 24th.

Volunteers Needed for Scholastic Book Fairs!

We will be hosting Scholastic Book Fairs during the weeks of parent-teacher conferences. Classes will have an opportunity to visit the fair during school.

J/J Book Fair: March 18 to 22

Robinson Book Fair: April 1 to 5


We need MANY volunteers to make sure the fairs run smoothly. Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and clean-up, as well as to staff the fair during class visits and our Open to Public shifts. Without enough volunteers not all classes will be able to visit the book fair. Please sign up for a shift if you can! The SignUp Genius indicates which classes will visit during which shift!


*Important* If you're interested in volunteering, please make sure your CORI is up to date!

Spectacular Hands-On STEM Night at Jordan/Jackson

It was great seeing all of the J/J students at our STEM nights last week. Over the two nights, more than 100 students got to try out seven weird and wacky science experiments.


MESA is proud to offer enrichment events like this for Mansfield elementary school students. We are able to do this thanks to the continued support from our families and our community. Thank you for supporting MESA!


Planning is underway for enrichment nights for Robinson students this spring. More to come soon!
