Parents Night Out


Let’s all come together to make sure that our entire school community has a hot meal to come home to at the end of a school day and throughout the summer.

Please consider supporting our Exploris Food Pantry.  Every donation directly benefits families within our school community.  

Shop from your favorite store and drop things off on campus OR shop online and have things delivered right to our door.  Either way, we appreciate you and your donation!
