2. Turn in your Boxtops by October 22!
It’s that time of year again. BOX TOP submission time is right around the corner – November 1st! If you’ve been clipping and saving, now is the time to send them in. If you haven’t been clipping and saving, what are you waiting for?! 
🙂 This is an easy way to help earn money for Exploris. Please grab your scissors, start clipping, and send them in. Those little things really do add up!
To help Gina with the Boxtops, feel free to print out a collection sheet, then trim and tape your Boxtops to it. This is a great kid activity, too! Printable sheets here: https://www.boxtops4education.com/about/collection-sheets
If you don’t have time to use a collection sheet just turn in the boxtops to the front office at either school campus by Monday, October 22. Thanks!
3. Elementary students will be creating their Art By Me pieces this week!
The Exploris PTO is excited to kick off this Fall Fundraiser that will showcase your child’s art. We are partnering with the company Art by Me to feature the work of Exploris students on a variety of products. These will make great gifts! See all of the great products that they offer in the shop:

This will be a school wide fundraiser for the Exploris PTO including all grades K-8. The products purchased will arrive before Winter Break! The profits will enable the PTO to continue providing all of the great services they offer to our school and teachers.
4. Collecting Food for the Elderly at Glenwood
Exploris is collecting food for the seniors, as they do not get food over Thanksgiving break. The whole school is helping to bring a little joy and food to each of the 318 residents of Glenwood Towers.
