Monsoon prompts Mesa school closure
An elementary school in Mesa is set to be closed for the rest of the week, after powerful monsoon storms this week caused some serious damage. Volunteers, however, are helping the school get back on its feet. FOX 10's Danielle Miller reports.
Classes resumed on Sept. 20. Teachers were allowed back to their classrooms on Tuesday.
"We’ve worked to create a safe environment for our students to return to campus," officials said. "Repairs will be ongoing but will not impede learning. We are grateful for the support of the Zaharis community for their understanding and willingness to help and are looking forward to seeing our students on Wednesday."
