Art education is a critical yet overlooked aspect of a student’s education. Exposure to the arts help students problem solve and increases their ability to learn. If you value and enjoy the arts, then help us plan programs to introduce our students to the wonderful world of ART. Past projects have included our participation in the National PTA “Reflections” Program competition, school mural painting with an artist, “Art to Go” collaboration with the Honolulu Academy of Arts, drama education, and our support of the music and strings program.

This is one of our most important committees. Without it, the PTA would not be able to provide the resources and programs to enrich our student’s education. The PTO has two fundraising events to support all our programs. The first key fundraiser takes place in August to provide startup funds for programs in the beginning of the year. The second is the Fun Fair, our major annual fundraiser held in November that has the community buzzing with anticipation. If you are excited by the energy and thrill of fundraising please join our team and help raise needed funds to support valuable programs for the students.
This committee has a huge responsibility but it’s also the most FUN. This annual fundraising event has been a tradition at MES that gets the whole community involved. It brings together various organizations from community groups, local businesses, senior citizens, parents, teachers, staff and students (MoHS, MMS, and our own MES students) to put on a fun family fair to raise funds to support PTO sponsored programs.

We need people who are energetic and who can help count, fold and label the School T-Shirt orders for distribution. Much of the work, however, starts before the shirts arrive. Get involved with the design process, help select a vendor to print all the shirts (800+), and collect and distribute the T-shirt orders as soon as school starts so that the shirts arrive by the first scheduled field trip. Everybody waits in anticipation for the new t-shirt design.
