Join us for our MES PTO Family Painting Night on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. 

Learn more about our school’s backyard, specifically Kamananui Valley, with mo’olelo (stories) shared by Kumu Keoki, the ʻāina educator for Moanalua Gardens Foundation. Following that, our guest artist Aunty Phoebe will guide us through painting a scene from one of the legends. 

This event is open to all MES families, but spots are limited to the first 50 students.

MES PTO members, a special discount code will be given in your confirmation email.

Big Mahalo to STEM Safari

Thank you to STEM Safari for coordinating an engaging and exciting Family STEM Night.

Stay tuned for more details about our next Family Night coming up next month!
