Sundays From The Mesa # 17
December 4th - 8th

Principal Message
Dear Alta Mesa Families,
Welcome to December! The holiday season is upon us! We are looking forward to a fun couple of weeks at school. First, on Wednesday afternoon/evening we have our Alta Mesa Chipotle fundraiser. Anyone who goes to Chipotle from 4 PM - 8 PM on Wednesday and either presents a flyer or states they are there for Alta Mesa will have 40% of the purchase amount go to support Alta Mesa. So please stop by and grab dinner on Wednesday!!!
On Thursday, December 7th at 5pm Mrs. Randolph will be holding an informational meeting for parents interested in their child participating in Ski and Snowboard club. This is a great opportunity for students to learn more about the sport. There are scholarships available and reduced pricing. If you are interested but are unsure about the cost please attend the meeting as there are multiple ways we can help fund this opportunity.
It's going to be another great week at Alta Mesa! Thank you for the continued support.
Thank You,
Ryan Miller
Principal-Alta Mesa School
