Click HERE. Fall Fundraiser -- Charleston Wrap! Charleston Wrap continues this week! Due to overwhelming positive feedback we are continuing with Charleston Wrap as our vendor for our Fall Fundraiser. Look for the catalogs coming home in your students backpack around September 19th. Please get your orders in by October 10th!!!  Last week, we kicked off our major Wrap/Gift Fundraiser with our fabulous Charleston Wrap collection. Please look for these forms/catalogs in your child's back pack and shop, shop, shop! MESA's operating budget is over $50,000 for the 2015/16 school year. A student body our size means that even spending $25-30 per student per year adds up fast. In-class visits from local museums, field days, one book one grade, technology and classroom supplements all rely on our raising these funds and we need your help. While we try to add additional popular fundraising tools to help reach our goals, we are still looking to have a GREAT response to this fundraiser to support our kids and our schools. Please consider this as you choose your purchases and share the catalog info (available online by clicking HERE, to share with family and friends). Really don't need wrap, chocolate or fun gadgets? We enthusiastically welcome direct tax-deductible donations to MESA! You can find our donation button on the left side bar of this newsletter or HERE.
