We look forward to a terrific year ahead. The Maunawili Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (MES ‘Ohana PTO) is an all-volunteer, parent-run, non-profit organization committed to enhancing and enriching the education of our children and fostering a sense of community within our school.

Please join or renew your MES PTO membership for the 2023-2024 school year. The annual membership dues are $10 per student or $25 per household.

We look forward to seeing you throughout the year ahead at the ice-cream social, various game nights, Glow Jam and many of the PTO-supported events and activities our team of dedicated volunteers help to organize.

Why Join?

  • To support our students! We seek to bring together the entire Maunawili Elementary community - students, parents, teachers, staff, neighbors, aunties, uncles, cousins - to work together towards a common goal: enhancing the educational experience of our keiki. We lead by the philosophy that if kids have fun at school, and they feel they belong to their school community, they will thrive and push each other to contribute and succeed!

    Plus... we just love to bring the fun and see all those smiles on our students' faces!

  • We advocate for our students. We work with administration and staff. We help bring together the MES community.

    We are looking forward to bringing back all the FUN and helping MES provide a safe and healthy environment for our keiki - physically, mentally, and socially!
