Mission
The Mesa Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has been an active part of the school for nearly 50 years. As a Mesa family, you are automatically a part of the PTO; there are no fees to join or a membership. The PTO supports the administration to plan and fund activities which improve students' academic experience and serve to build and enrich the community at Mesa. The PTO meets the first Friday of each month and all are welcome to join!
We are always looking for parents and caregivers to help out in big and small ways. Volunteers are needed for events, fundraisers, and more throughout the year. We hope you can help foster our Mesa community by signing up to volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours for the year.

Recent Fundraising
- Last year, during the 2022-2023 school year, we just reached our goal to fully fund our Paras through the Mesa Thrives campaign. We would not have met our goal without company matches and generous parents and caregivers giving more than the suggested $375 per student.
- Phases 1 and 2 of the new Mesa Oasis project were paid for by fundraising efforts from previous years that could not be rolled over to this year’s budget per PTO bylaws. Mesa Oasis Phases 1 and 2 were voted on and approved at the May 2023 PTO meeting.
- Money raised from the 2022 Fall Fest funded decodable texts (books for young readers), Chromebooks, classroom supplies for teachers, and filtered water for the teacher’s lounge. This year, Fall Fest will again fund items requested by teachers, staff, and parents, possibly including Phase 3 of Mesa Oasis. All such allocations will be voted on and approved at PTO meetings. All funding requests are presented and voted on at PTO meetings.
