1 Hour for Schools – Volunteer Today

1 Hour for Schools – Volunteer Today!

Just one hour can make a big difference! If every one of our Surfrider families gives just one hour to support our school, the impact on our students and community would be HUGE! There are so many ways to help, too – at school or from home. 

Submit your pledge by (click here) September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM EST and our school will have the chance to win $3,500! 

Looking for ways you can help out? Go to bit.ly/MESPTOkokua for MES PTO volunteer opportunities. 

For activities being performed on campus during school hours, please make sure to complete and submit the MES Volunteer Acknowledgement Form to the office.
