Today is the day! Join the below event to chat with the Girl Scouts of NC Costal Pines.


Happy First Month Week

Happy first month of school! It’s been a month since we said goodbye to summer and packed our backpacks. Let’s celebrate some of the things that make Exploris great!

Fundraising While You Shop

Did you know you can support Exploris every time you buy groceries?  Several area grocery stores have programs to support local schools when you connect your frequent shopper accounts.  Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods and Publix have programs to support local schools when you connect your account.  Please visit the PTO passive fundraising page for program links and information.  Remember, you must connect your account every year!

In addition, don’t forget about Box Tops for Education! Simply download the App, scan your receipt every time you go grocery shopping and it will add box tops to your account automatically!

START EARNING NOW: Download the Box Tops app and make every shopping trip count.

Screenagers Save the Date


Food Pantry Wish List

Please consider giving to the Exploris Food Pantry! Let’s make sure everyone in our school community has a good meal every night.

Our Pantry offers non-perishable items and a limited amount of personal hygiene/toiletry items and serves all of our Exploris families.

There are two ways to help support the Exploris Food Pantry:
1) Purchase items from our Food Pantry Amazon Wishlist (delivered directly to our office!).
2) Purchase items at a local grocery store and drop off at our elementary campus (17 S. Swain St.).
