A Community Thrives: Mesa Public Schools

Supporting Every Child & Every Teacher To Success!

Every student in Mesa Public Schools is known by name, served by strength and need and graduates ready for college, career and community.

How YOU Can Make An Impact!

This summer and fall, we invite you to help Mesa staff, students, and community leaders plan projects at 82 schools to directly impact student belonging and achievement.  We are on a mission to raise $10,000 to support our schools – choosing projects that will make the greatest impact. We need YOUR HELP. Every dollar counts! The Mesa Public School district is interested in furthering its foundation, a non-profit charitable community organization that solicits, manages and distributes funds and resources for the benefit of Mesa Public Schools and its students.  The foundation also furthers the development and welfare of children within the boundaries of Mesa Public Schools.  Programs that will be supported include their appreciation fund, innovative funding for teachers and staff, music fund and shoe and vision fund.  Our Mesa Family plans to challenge and support our staff and students all the way to success! 

it's that simple

Using the School Connect CAFE Model we can fund school projects that make a direct impact on the lives of kids. 

1. Each school determines what key goals or needs will create the biggest impact on their students, families, and teachers. 

2. Then each school invites their community to plan, share resources, and galvanize volunteer support. 

3. Finally the village, or community team, successfully plans school projects to meet these strategic goals! 

Together we begin to change key metrics, like teacher retention, student attendance and participation, parent engagement, student belonging and positive behavior and ultimately academic achievement!

turning support into impact

School Connect began its mission to connect the 2,485 K-12 schools in Arizona to their communities so that every child has a village to help them reach their potential 7 years ago with the help of community! We started by serving 6 schools and are now serving in 700 all over Arizona!  We are building momentum and are steadfast in reaching our goal of 800 schools by next Summer.  Why? Arizona is uniquely positioned under the perfect conditions to completely change the trajectory of POSSIBLE for every child through strategically leveraging the assets already embedded in our communities.  

Public, private, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations operate in an ecosystem where schools are at the epicenter representing what our future will be.  Let's make it shine! School Connect has had the honor of impacting the lives of 1 Million students since opening- Where do you envision yourself in the village?

Thank you!!!
