Join us for our MES PTO Family Painting Night on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.
Learn more about our school’s backyard, specifically Kamananui Valley, with mo’olelo (stories) shared by Kumu Keoki, the ʻāina educator for Moanalua Gardens Foundation. Following that, our guest artist Aunty Phoebe will guide us through painting a scene from one of the legends.
This event is open to all MES families, but spots are limited to the first 50 students.
RSVP at bit.ly/MESPTOPAINT2026 by March 1. Kits are $5, and will include all the materials needed to complete the art project. Shoyu chicken bento and drink combos will also be available for pre-order.
MES PTO members, a special discount code will be given in your confirmation email.
Email president@moanaluapto.org with questions.
Thank you to all of our Surfrider artists who submitted their artwork for the Portfolio Art Contest. Choosing the winners was no easy task! We’re excited to announce the grade-level and overall winners selected at our recent PTO meeting.
Our overall winner’s artwork will be featured on the covers of next school year’s MES portfolios, which are provided to all students thanks to the generous annual donation from the MES PTO.
Thank you to all those who submitted your preorders for our 3rd grade Jamba Juice fundraiser. The date has been rescheduled to the new Aloha Run date 2/27. All preorders will be carried over to the new date. Email fundraising@moanaluapto.org if you have any questions.
Thank you to STEM Safari for coordinating an engaging and exciting Family STEM Night. Our students enjoyed exploring a variety of stations, including playing with a hoverboard, learning about Kāhuli conservation with the Bishop Museum staff, trying their hand at fingerprinting as forensic scientists, and getting an up-close look at different human organs.
Stay tuned for more details about our next Family Night coming up next month!
