| I am really excited about our third year of MESA at Riverside Meadows! We were extremely successful as a class last year, and I hope to improve even more this year. The 8th grade MESA class will be competing in events such as balsa wood gliders, egg drop containers, mousetrap cars, and manilla file folder bridges. In addition to building projects we will also strengthen our math skills and learn about how to prepare for college as a future goal. I can't wait to see what my students create!
