We are One Hart, with our goal to make Every Student...Opportunity Ready!

Thank you to everyone who came out for Open House this week! It was so great to see all the new students getting excited about coming to La Mesa. As well as our current Lobos showing off their work in their classrooms. La Mesa is a special place and it was exciting to see it showcased last night.

A special thank you to everyone who participated in the evening last night and adapted to the rain by moving our opening ceremony to the gym on short notice. Our Band and choir sounded great, our ASB students were organized and helped facilitate the evening, our ASL students did an amazing job interpreting our Pledge of Allegiance, the Golden Valley JROTC cadets for honoring our flag, and Heart of the Canyons church for donating hot dogs for all of our guests!

Only one more week until Spring Break! Let's get ready for a great week next week and roll into the break on high notes!

There are so many great opportunities for students and parents listed in this update. I hope you take the time to read through all of the exciting things happening at La Mesa!
