A Note from the Front Office: The Home Stretch!
Dear Mesa Families,
As we enter the final weeks of the school year, the energy at Mesa Elementary is higher than ever! We are officially in "wrap-up mode," finishing our final projects and celebrating the incredible growth our scholars have shown since August.
While we are all excited for summer break, we want to finish the year strong. Here are a few reminders for our final days together:
Stay Focused: Please help your students stay on top of their routine as we finish our end-of-the-year activities.
Check for Leftovers: Now is a great time to check the Lost & Found and ensure all library books are returned.
Celebrate Together: From our upcoming Continuation ceremonies to our last days of Kona Ice, we canโt wait to celebrate these milestones with you.
Thank you for making this year so memorable. Let's make these last few weeks the best ones yet!
Celebrating Our Incredible Educators!
Teacher Appreciation Week: May 4th โ 8th
Next week is all about the people who make Mesa Elementary such a special place to learn and grow. Our teachers have poured their hearts into this year, and we want to shower them with the gratitude they deserve!
We invite our families to join us in celebrating them. Whether itโs a handwritten note from your student, a small treat, or just a kind email, your words of encouragement mean the world to our staff.
Letโs show our teachers how much they are loved during this final stretch of the year!

๐ Food for Thought: Supporting Our Families
At Mesa Elementary, we are currently reviewing the resources provided through our building to ensure we are meeting our community's needs.
Food for Thought believes no child should ever worry about where their next meal will come from. Their mission is simple but urgent: to eliminate weekend hunger for children. Every other Friday, they help us send students home with PowerSacksโbags filled with 10โ15 shelf-stable food items, enough to feed a family of four for two full meals. These PowerSacks ensure that the last meal a child eats at school on Friday isnโt their last meal until Monday morning.
We value your input! As we look toward the end of the year and plan for the future, please let us know if this program is helpful for your household by answering the brief poll below.
