Fundraising at Mesa
Mesa Elementary does not have a big fundraising event, silent auction or gala. Instead, we focus on our Mesa Thrives donation campaign, asking all parents and caregivers for a one-time donation for the school year to support our dedicated paraprofessional staff at Mesa. Please click here to learn more about Mesa Thrives and how you can support our classrooms and students so that all kids can learn and thrive.

Recent Fundraising Details:
- 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 the 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.
