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!

Upcoming October MES PTO Events

Fall Break is starting soon, but check out all these upcoming MES PTO events happening this October:

FALL FUNDRAISERS

Thank you to all the families who made at donation with Foodland’s Give Aloha campaign. Students can turn in a copy of their receipt at the MES office or email them to fundraising@moanaluapto.org by October 8, to get credit for our Fundraising Contest.

Kala Kokua: Make sure to order your Kala Kokua products online by Monday, October 7. Pick-up will be on Saturday, October 19, from 9 AM – noon, in the MES Parking Lot.

Our goal for our Fall Fundraiser is to raise $15k, to help support our various MES PTO programs for our MES students. Prizes will be given to the top seller; and we will also have raffles when we hit our $5k, $10k, and $15k marks. Make sure to spread the word to your friends and family so they can help out too!

Habilitat Christmas Trees: Get into the Christmas Spirit and order your Christmas trees and decorations online until 10/31. Make sure to choose “Moanalua Elementary” so MES PTO can get a portion of the proceeds.

FUN FAIR

Packets went home with students before the break in anticipation of our Fun Fair on 11/22. Make sure to take a look as there is important information inside about pre-orders (including the commemorative Tshirts that are due on 10/16); as well as ways that you can help out. The Moanalua Fun Fair is a beloved MES tradition, open to both MES families and our community, and the largest MES PTO fundraiser of the year. We need all hands on deck to help make it a success.

GARDEN CLUB EVENT: 10/12, 9-11 AM

It’s not too late to sign-up for the MES PTO Garden Club event. Sign-up here today.
