April 25-29, 2022, is Teacher Appreciation Week at Exploris! Our PTO Hospitality chairperson Brooke Hedrick has a fun week planned for our faculty and staff, and she could use some help. Please email Brooke at volunteers@explorispto.org if you can assist with the Coffee Bar, Biscuit Breakfast, or Catered Lunch setup and cleanup.
Parents and students- we hope you will ALL participate on Wednesday and Thursday:
Wednesday: On April 27, send in sweet treats (cookies, brownies, candy, chocolate, etc.) Please bring it to the front office or teacher workroom before school. “Storebought” or homemade!
Thursday: On April 28, send in homemade cards or gift cards for your teachers. We ask that you make two (or more) cards for teachers and staff members. You can give the cards directly to the teachers or deliver them to the front office and we will place them in the teacher mailboxes.
Hello Exploris Families,
This spring we are having Earth Day Field Day for grades K-5! It will be on April 22, 2022. We will have lots of activities for all ages including Jump Rope and Freeze Dance. On field day please make sure your child has good shoes for playing and has a water bottle. Fifth grade will be running the stations for K-2 but we would love your help running stations for 3-5.
The K-2 Field day will be occurring from 9:30-11:00 and the 3-5 field day will be occurring from 12:30-2:00. If you would like to sign up to help with the 3-5 Field Day, the activities are listed on this signup genius here. If you are available to volunteer we would really appreciate your help!
Our publicity team made this video to promote this event!
If you have questions about Earth Day Field Day, please contact Ms. Lisa lferrando@exploris.org

Layla, Zoey, Evelyn, Gaby and Arleigh
