As a thank you to all our paid PTO members, we’ll be giving out a free Halloween treat (kids only) at our Fall Family Night on October 30, 2023! If you haven’t signed up for Fall Family Night yet, the deadline is October 26.

It will be a spooktacular evening filled with fun events for the entire family! For more details, click here.

Most importantly, to help grow our PTO ‘ohana, please be sure to invite fellow parents to sign up for PTO membership and join us for all the Halloween fun!

Sign-up Today to Help with our MES Fun Fair (12/1/2023)!

The return of our beloved MES Fun Fair is only a few weeks away, and we canʻt wait for the fun to begin! Fun Fair packets were sent home with students last week. Make sure to check your child’s folder for important information regarding Early Bird scrip and activity wristband pre-orders, and pre-orders for 50th anniversary MES ʻOhana commemorative t-shirts (that are also perfect for MES Mondays as well). There’s also important information regarding donations for our Silent Auction, Keiki Korner, MES PTO drink booth donations, and bake sale; and how to sign-up to volunteer. Make sure to spread the word to your friends and family so they can be part of the celebration as well!

We are also looking for volunteers to help with our curbside collection of drink and Keiki Korner donations. Sign-up at bit.ly/3ZVFFzs.

As a reminder, the MES Fun Fair is the MES PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Monies raised go directly toward activities that enrich our MES students’ education … including STEM nights, Family Nights, R.A.P., PTO Book Club, and subsidies for field trips and teachers’ classroom expenses.

Be sure to check out moanaluapto.org/mesfunfair or email our Fun Fair co-chairs (Jennifer Hahn and Ashley Matsui) for more information or if you have questions.
