Keiki Rainbow Run Registration Now Open!

Join the fun and run! This yearʻs Keiki Rainbow Run will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2024, from 8- 10 AM at Kakaʻako Waterfront Park. This 1.4 mile run is open to students in grades K-6.

Much more than a run, the event will:

  • Raise funds for schools’ P.E. and nutrition programs. 50% of every MES student registration will be donated to our school;
  • Be Fun – run with your schoolmates, friends, and/or family;
  • Be Memorable – take home a Finisher t-shirt;
  • Offer exciting activities in the post-run Active Zone; and
  • Allow youth finishers free admission to the Hawaii Children’s Discovery Center – valid only on the day of the run.

Registration fees will apply. For more information check out the flyer that will be going home in your student’s folder this week. Or go to www.keikirainbowrun.org or email healthandfitness@moanaluapto.org.

*Make sure to join the Moanalua Elementary School team on your online registration to send the donations our way. 

Students who register by the April 6, 2024, deadline will have their bibs distributed through school. Be sure to also check your emails and our social media feeds closer to the event for more specific day-of information for the Moanalua Elementary School team.

MAHALO TO ALL THOSE WHO HELPED WITH THE MES FUN FAIR!

Thank you to everyone who supported MES PTO with our MES Fun Fair. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the tremendous support we received from each and every one of you.

We would like to give a great big shout out to the MES Administration, Teachers, Staff & Families for their support including:

  • Grade 1 Teachers and Families for running our Keiki Korner and Plant Sale
  • Grades K, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; and our Special Education and IRA Teachers and Families for helping with our Grade Level Games
  • MES Alumni and Student Council for helping with our PTO food and drink booths

The MES PTO is immensely proud of the collective effort that went into making the Fun Fair a memorable experience for everyone. It’s heartwarming to witness the strength of our Surfrider community when we come together with a shared purpose.

We hope you all had fun and we hope to see you again next year!
