To help celebrate the fantastic staff at Mirage Elementary, the Mirage PTSA provided breakfast on Tuesday morning and lunch on Friday afternoon. We called that lunch Fiesta Friday as lunch was catered by a staff favorite, Valle Luna. We also raffled off some pretty cool prizes, such as an Amazon Fire Tablet, and Echo Dot and some awesome gift cards! It’s our way of saying thank you for their hard work all year long.

Mr. Charles has been walking the halls of Mirage Elementary for 25 years. On Friday, May 11th, he retired. He means so much to the students, teachers and staff  and will be greatly missed. He worked closely with Mirage PTSA on all of our events and we would not have been as successful without him. Three cheers for Mr. Charles and wish you the best in your next adventure!

Mirage PTSA supports our EDUCATORS! We will be having another walk-in this Wednesday, April 18th, at 7:15am. We had a great turnout last week and we’re hoping to DOUBLE it!!

Please come show your support with us and remember to wear RED!!

Here are some pictures from last week’s walk-in!

The Mirage PTSA supports our Arizona teachers, Parents and Support Staff in their fight for Public Education. The cause is not only about a pay increase, which is long overdue and one of the worst rates in the country, but also about increased funding and spending for our schools.

To show your support, please wear RED every Wednesday during the month of April. On Wednesday April 11th at 7:15am, teachers, parents and students will be on 39th Avenue and will walk in to school TOGETHER when the bell rings to start the school day. We hope to see you there!
