Parents' Night Out

MESA's Parents' Night Out is this Friday. Drop off the kiddos at HUB Parkour for a night of fun and enjoy a night to yourself.


The cost is $40 and includes pizza, drinks, and snacks.


The staff at HUB Parkour is amazing and your kids will have a great time (and hopefully come home tired and ready for bed!) It's a great way to start April Vacation.

Spring Cookie Fundraiser

Cookiecasions (run by Mansfield mom Rachel Medeiros) is selling spring-themed cookie kits to support MESA. Pre-order a kit or two now to pick up on 4/12 or 4/19 and decorate with the kids over April vacation!

Gift Card Donations Needed

MESA is collecting gift cards to be used as prizes during Staff Appreciation Week and as a fun new fundraising element at Spring Fling.


We have created a SignUp Genius with the types of gift cards we need. If you would like to donate a gift card (or more than one), simply sign up and then drop the gift card off at Robinson or J/J in a sealed envelope marked MESA Staff Appreciation by Tuesday, April 23rd. If you prefer to make a donation to MESA through PayPal, we will use the money to purchase gift cards.

Thank You For Supporting Our Book Fair

Thank you to all the students, families, and teachers who shopped at the J/J and Robinson book fairs over the past few weeks. 100% of our book fair profit goes towards giving books right back to the school through MESA programs like Bookworms and One Book, One Grade, as well as providing books for each teacher’s classroom library. 


The book fairs would not have been possible without our volunteers. A HUGE THANK YOU to our chairs, Yulia Dvorkin and Theresa Rowland (J/J) and Janie Campino (ROB), and to all of the parent volunteers who gave their time to make sure all students were able to shop at the fair.
