1. It’s time for Teacher Gifts!
Exploris PTO coordinates schoolwide teacher gifts in December before the Winter Break, and again in June before the end of school. We encourage all parents to contribute to this gift pool. This collection ensures that all teachers and staff members receive the recognition they deserve!
Please donate to the Exploris End of Year Teacher Gift by Monday, June 7:

Any dollar amount is appreciated and divided among the Exploris team.

We also encourage all families, regardless of whether you chose to contribute financially, to craft a thank you message to include on a digital “KudoBoard”. Add photos, gifs and a message – be sure to include your child’s name in the message.
