Come celebrate 20 years of Mesa’s Brimhall Junior High School during a reception April 27 on the campus at 4949 E. Southern Ave.
The event, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., is for current and former students and staff, families, friends and neighbors. A professional photographer will take pictures of the classes; yearbooks and sports banners will be on display.
Brimhall is scheduled to close as a neighborhood campus at the end of this school year. Next fall, it will become a K-8 campus for students enrolled in three merged back-to-basics Franklin schools.
Former students and staff can share photos and videos for a presentation. Contact Anthony Toscano, science teacher, at ataktoscan@mpsaz.org.

I am going to file this under the "Next time Mesa has an Education bond issue vote" file. Now we know that they don't know how to spend considerable amounts of money in building such a campus that they are now closing from it's original intent 20 years later.

VoR, 20 years ago MPS had tens of thousands more students than it does now. It isn't due to wasteful spending that they have to close the school, it's because there are less students. In fact it would be an incredible waste of tax-payers money to keep another junior high open. Furthermore, this school site is not wasted, it will be turned in to a Mesa Franklin school.
Dig a little into the facts before you throw a vote away.
