In honor of Unity Day, Moanalua Elementary School and the Moanalua Elementary School PTO invite you to a special webinar on how electronics and social media affect social skills and interactions both at school and home.
Join us as Dr. Taryn Park, a child and adolescent psychiatrist from Kapiolani Medical Center and MES parent, along with Mrs. Melissa Inouye-Nagamine, our school’s SEL counselor, share valuable insights and advice for parents. Learn tips on how to navigate discussions about social media usage with your children and better understand its impact on their social skills.
Following the talk, we will have a Q&A session where parents can ask questions directly.
Donโt miss this chance to gain knowledge and strategies to support your childโs healthy development in the digital world.

Students will receive a copy of the flyers in their folders, so be sure to check them for all the details. This is a great opportunity to get your Christmas tree while supporting MES PTO. Habilitat has been selling Christmas trees for over 40 years, and this year, they are partnering with us to make it even easier for our สปohana to get involved.
Please spread the word and encourage friends, family, and coworkers to purchase their tree online and to select “Moanalua Elementary” as the group. There are 6 convenient pickup locations across Oahu. The deadline to order is October 31, 2024.
Reminder: Give Aloha Fundraiser Ends Soon!
Don’t forget that the Give Aloha fundraiser runs until September 30, 2024. Maikaสปi Members can donate at any Foodland location using our school code 77664, and a portion of your donation will be matched.
