Pre-orders are encouraged and due by Thursday, February 5. Please print flyer and submit with payment to the MES Office.

DON’T FORGET! Also, if you haven’t already done so, make sure to register for FREE for the Aloha Run that will be held that morning. All classes who have 100% of students registered will get an extra 10 minutes of recess. In addition, students are also encouraged to collect donations to help raise monies for various school programs. Students who reach various donation milestones will be eligible for prizes, with additional prizes going to the top individual and grade level winners.
