Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Mesa
Mesa Elementary’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is a group of volunteer parents, teachers, and administrators working together to make the Mesa community a more welcoming and equitable place for diverse populations. We aim to create a space for shared learning and collective growth. Projects have included bringing the YWCA’s Reading to End Racism program to Mesa students, hosting guest speakers for the parent community, and engaging DEI experts for staff professional development.
We welcome participation from everyone in the Mesa community who is committed to the principles of DEI and our committee norms. We meet after school about once a month with childcare provided (dates are on the calendar link below).
