Want to Support MESA's Spring Fling?
The Spring Fling Committee is still collecting items needed for themed grade baskets for the silent auction. You don't need to commit to creating an entire basket but if you want to contribute individual items, the Committee will assemble the baskets. Items should be dropped off by Monday, May 8. We hope these baskets will make fun auction items.

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!!
Starting today, the entire 5th grade can participate in this Coin Drive until 5/31. Collection bins will be placed in each classroom. We cannot wait to announce how much the kids raise… start searching those couch cushions!

Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast

Please join us Thursday, June 15 at 9:30 am in the J/J Multi-Purpose Room for our annual volunteer appreciation breakfast. We will be thanking our wonderful volunteers, installing the 2023/24 board and celebrating the end of another successful school year.
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!
