FUN FAIR VOLUNTEERS *STILL* NEEDED

We are still looking for more Fun Fair volunteers, especially the 2-8 PM shifts, as we have about 400 different shifts to cover. We need ALL of your support to help put on this fun event that serves as the LARGEST MES PTO fundraiser of the year, and brings together MES and the surrounding community. Funds raised go directly to helping fund programs that support MES students, including field trip stipends, classroom stipends, grade-level programs, R.A.P., Moanalua Moves!, and Family Nights.

Thank you to those who already signed up. If you did, you can assume that you will be placed in the shifts that you indicated on the Google Form.

For those who have not yet signed up, please go to bit.ly/3TAIxQd

FUN FAIR CURBSIDE DONATIONS: 11/12-11/15

Now’s a good time to clean out the closets and make room for incoming Christmas presents. Donate your new and gently-used items at our Curbside Donation Collection this week Tuesday 11/12 to Friday 11/15.

We’re also STILL collecting canned juice, Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite, as well as boxes of individually-sized chips.

EDEN IN LOVE X MES PTO COLLAB PRESALES

PTO members you have until Friday 11/15, for first dibs on the *NEW* Eden in Love collar items, as well as a restock of some of previously sold-out pixie pouches, medium totes, and large totes. Check your emails for the links or email president@moanaluapto.org for more information.

Items will be available at the MES Fun Fair as well, as we know that the totes are especially good at lugging all of your Keiki Korner, bake, sale, Silent Auction, and Country Store purchases!
