MES PTO Weekly Update – 11/20/2023

MES FUN FAIR RETURNS 12/1/2023

Fun Fair is less than 2 weeks away and we’re getting all hands on deck to make sure it’s a success! Thank you to all the MES families (and staff and even alumni!) who donated items to sell at our Silent Auction, Keiki Korner, drinks booths. Also thank you to all the MES families who volunteered to help out at Fun Fair.

We are still in need of drink donations to sell at our drink booths. While you take advantage of the sales for your Thanksgiving get-togethers, don’t forget pick up an extra case for Fun Fair as well.

DON’T FORGET! Wednesday 11/22, is the LAST day to pre-order your activity wristbands online.

FALL FUNDRAISER OPEN UNTIL 11/29/2023

Thank you to those who have already submitted your orders. We’re currently at around 40% of our goal! If every student sells at least 2 items we’ll reach it.

Make sure to ask your family and friends at your Thanksgiving get-togethers to help support MES PTO. Monies raised will go toward funding programs that help enrich the educational experiences of MES students and families (e.g. Family Nights, R.A.P., PTO Book Club, field trip subsidies, teacher classroom subsidies). Need help tracking your orders? We have just the thing for you here!

As a reminder, all students who sell at least 2 items will be entered into our weekly raffle. The top 3 student sells and the class who sells the most items will also win cash prizes!
