Fall UNfundraiser

Now Through October 29th

Help us meet our fundraising goals for the 2021-2022 school year!

Do you dislike having to sell “stuff” to raise funds for an organization? Guess what? We do too!

In lieu of tasking students and parents with selling typical fundraising items, MESA is pleased to offer a tax-deductible option to take the hassle out of fundraising. Your participation is completely voluntary and very much appreciated! You can simply make a donation via check or Paypal and 100% of your donation goes directly to MESA.

A suggested donation of $35/child will enable us to support our teachers and provide enrichment activities inside and outside of the classroom. Our goal is to raise $15,000!!

How to Donate

Payments can be made via PayPal: www.paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1297702

FALL FOOD DRIVE

ALL THIS WEEK!

All this week, Robinson and Jordan/Jackson Elementary Schools will collect food for Our Daily Bread, Mansfield’s food pantry. Donations can be sent in with your students; each classroom will have its own collection box.

We are providing a list of suggested items by grade that the pantry especially needs, but any non-perishable, unexpired food item is welcome.

*Please note* that the pantry has an ample supply of canned vegetables (except corn), canned fruit, and Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup and does not need these items at this time. Please do not send candy.

Kindergarten: Ramen noodles, pancake mix and syrup, canned protein items (SPAM, Corned Beef Hash, Vienna Sausage, Sloppy Joe), packs of applesauce cups

Grade 1: Brand-name cereals (please no jumbo or double packs), full-size boxes of kid-friendly snacks (Goldfish, Cheez-its, granola bars, cookies, etc.)

Grade 2: Hearty/chunky soups (Progresso/Campbell’s), jelly (plastic jars please), canned corn, salad dressings, croutons

Grades 3, 4, 5: Chef Boyardee canned pasta (beef ravioli, SpaghettiOs), brand-name cereal (please no jumbo or double packs), full-size boxes of kid-friendly snacks, Hormel Dinty Moore microwavable meal kits, baking mixes (brownies, muffins, etc.)

Please send in donations by Friday, October 22.

Your contributions make a big difference for local families during the holiday season. Thank you!!
