Principal’s Message
Hello Mesa Families,
Happy almost March! It’s hard to believe how fast time is flying by. Many folks have been asking about the school calendar for the 2017/2018 school year…the approved calendar is attached to this issue of Mesa Matters, as well as an important letter from Superintendent Turner regarding the calendar.
Last week we congratulated a lot of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at the junior high assemblies, and this coming Friday we will do the same at our elementary school assemblies. Thanks to our PFO for supporting the assemblies with coffee and treats every time!
This Friday is our PFO Family Movie Night with a Dr. Seuss theme. As always, the Movie Night is completely free—free fun, free hot dogs, free popcorn, free cotton candy, free movie fun, and free camaraderie for adults and children alike. Mr. Turner and I will both be there as well. I also want to thank the many families that turned out for Restaurant Night last week; that is always fun. The next Restaurant night will be Wednesday, March 29th at Topper’s Pizza in Camarillo… put it on your calendar now and I hope to see you there!
Thank you to the many families that attended the School Board meeting last week to recognize their child’s great work in the Science Fair and the Spelling Bee. It was so nice to see some many students and supporters at the meeting, and to award the medals to the students. Every month at the School Board Meeting, the Board is informed of the names of the students that receive the Student of the Month and other academic recognitions.
Wednesday will see a trifecta of important meetings at school that you may want to consider attending: 2:05pm is the monthly PFO meeting in the library, 3:05pm is the monthly School Site Council meeting in Room 3, and 6:00pm in the MPR is the meeting regrading the 2017-2018 academic calendar with Mr. Turner. Please put the dates/times on your calendar.
Next week is Read Across America week with different activities happening every day connected to reading and Dr. Seuss. At our elementary Student of the Month assemblies on Friday, I heard that Thing 1 and Thing 2 are going to stop by and read a story! Wishing everyone a great week.

Mensaje del Director Hola Mesa Familias,
Feliz casi marzo! Es difícil creer lo rápido que pasa el tiempo. Muchas personas han estado preguntando sobre el calendario escolar para el año escolar 2017/2018 ... el calendario aprobado está adjunto a este número de Mesa Matters, así como una carta importante del Superintendente Turner con respecto al calendario.
La semana pasada felicitamos a muchos estudiantes de sexto, séptimo y octavo grado en las asambleas junior high, y este próximo viernes haremos lo mismo en nuestras asambleas de la escuela primaria. Gracias a nuestro PFO para apoyar las asambleas con café y golosinas cada vez!
Este viernes es nuestra noche de película familiar de PFO con un tema de Dr. Seuss. Como siempre, The Movie Night es una diversión totalmente gratis, perritos calientes gratis, palomitas de maíz gratis, caramelos de algodón gratis, diversión gratuita en películas y camaradería gratis para adultos y niños por igual. El Sr. Turner y yo estaremos allí también. También quiero agradecer a las muchas familias que resultaron para la noche del restaurante la semana pasada; Eso siempre es divertido La próxima noche de restaurante será el miércoles, 29 de marzo en Topper's Pizza en Camarillo ... ¡ponla en tu calendario ahora y espero verte allí!
Gracias a las muchas familias que asistieron a la reunión de la Junta Escolar la semana pasada para reconocer el gran trabajo de sus hijos en la Feria de Ciencias y la Ortografía. Fue muy agradable ver a muchos estudiantes y simpatizantes en la reunión, y entregar las medallas a los estudiantes. Cada mes en la Junta Escolar, se informa a la Junta de los nombres de los estudiantes que reciben al Estudiante del Mes y otros reconocimientos académicos.
El miércoles verá una trifecta de importantes reuniones en la escuela que usted puede desear considerar asistir: 2:05 pm es la reunión mensual de PFO en la biblioteca, 3:05 pm es la reunión mensual del Consejo Escolar en la Sala 3, y 6:00 pm en la MPR es la reunión que regrading el calendario académico 2017-2018 con el Sr. Turner.

Monday, February 27: Book Theme: Oh, The Places You’ll Go! (wear a favorite college shirt or sweatshirt) The theme of this book is to “keep going” no matter what life throws at you so that you can accomplish your dreams. We want students to set goals and dream about their future. To honor this book we want our students to wear a college shirt or sweatshirt.
Tuesday, February 28: Book Theme: Green Eggs and Ham (wear green) In this book, it’s all about adventure and exploration-not that the words of the story would indicate that at all. In fact, there are only 50 words in this story!! Dr. Seuss wrote the story to teach children about the wonders of trying things one hasn't tried before. You might end up liking it!! To honor this book we’d like the students to wear the color GREEN!
Wednesday March 1: Book Theme: Fox in Socks (wear crazy socks) This book is full of Tongue Twisters, which is all about having fun with language. Some may say that the story doesn’t have a point; it’s just a bunch of silly words! But we’d say, “That’s is the point!” This book brings to a child’s attention just how much fun language can be. To add to the fun, we want our students to wear their crazy socks to school.
Thursday March 2: Book Theme: The Sleep Book (pajama day) This book is full of yawning fun creatures spread by one contagious yawn. By the end of the book, everyone is ready for bed. In honor of this book, we will come dressed in our pajamas. Students must wear closed toe shoes.
Friday March 3: Book Theme: The Cat in the Hat (wear red, black white & a hat) Although this book was written over fifty years ago, it has become a children’s classic. In this book, the carefree cat learns that helping others is more important than just having fun. Students wear red, black, white and they can wear their hats to school.
Other exciting events for the week:
Teacher/Class Banner decoration contest (to be hung in the library)- Deadline March 2
Daily Dr. Seuss activities/games in the library
Guest Readers-local community members visiting our school to read to our students-March 2
