The Exploris PTO held Online Silent Auction April 23-May 4. 

Thank you to our many sponsors and participants!  The auction was a huge success and we raised over $12,000.  All proceeds go to benefit students and teachers at the Exploris School.

Our auction page is archived here.  We are planning to have our next auction in the spring of 2020.  Stay tuned!
