Join Us for Our Final MES PTO Meeting of the Year!

Let’s wrap up the school year together! We invite all MES families to join us on Thursday, May 14, for an afternoon of community, planning, and a little something sweet.

4:30 PM – Ribbon Lei Making
Help us celebrate our 6th graders! We’ll be crafting ribbon lei for the upcoming 6th Grade Promotion Ceremony. Don’t worry if you’ve never made one before—no experience is necessary, and we’ll provide all the materials and guidance you need.

6:00 PM – Final PTO Meeting
Stay for our last meeting of the year as we briefly recap our recent successes and begin brainstorming exciting goals for next year. Never been to a meeting before, now’s a great time to stop by! Food will be provided, including a sweet treat. Students are welcome to attend with an adult. RSVP at bit.ly/MESPTOmeeting25_26. A Webex link will be available for those who cannot attend in person.
