Only 3 Months Until Christmas โ€“ Habilitat Fundraiser Kickoff!

Weโ€™re excited to announce that Habilitat will be visiting Moanalua Elementary this Wednesday for the official kickoff of our Christmas tree fundraiser! 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.

The Kala Kokua fundraiser is also still underway! Be sure to submit your online orders for arabiki sausage, smoked meat, pipikaula, and taro pancake mix by October 7, 2024. Pick-up is scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2024. A grand prize will be given for the student who sells the most items; and all students who sell at least one item will be entered into a raffle when we hit our $5k, $10k, and $15k fundraising goals!
