A huge shoutout to all our amazing Explorer Families for your incredible support during our Glow Run PTO fundraiser last week! Mrs. Whelan, you're a rockstar for coordinating and organizing such a fantastic event, and our dedicated PTO members and staff deserve a round of applause for their hard work in setting up and cleaning up. It was great to see so many family members cheering on their kids as they ran during their PE time.
Together, we raised an impressive $13,468! This money will go directly towards supporting our students and teachers, enriching their learning experiences and enhancing our school.
As a special reward, the entire school will get to enjoy a fun-filled Bingo session during their library time one day in May! Huge thanks to Mrs. Karber and Ms. Valek for making this activity possible.
Due to some close totals, we've extended the reward for top earners to 9 students. These lucky individuals will be treated to a delicious lunch at Pizza Ranch with Mr. Hollas and Mrs. Schrader. Congratulations, you've earned it!
Once again, thank you, Explorer Families, for your incredible support and dedication to our school community.
Mr. Hollas

Congratulations to Rose Ann Valek, Explorer Elementary School, for receiving the District Attitude Award! Her nominator, April Karber, wrote, "Walt Whitman said, "Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and the shadows will fall behind you." Rose Ann Valek is someone who faces the sunshine! The two years I have worked with her have been a privilege! She is one of the most positive, hard-working, and hopeful people I have known. She is always up for helping with any project I come up with--many times spending a lot of time prepping and hanging 400 pieces of student work in the hallway-- and any idea that will help our students better find and access books. She is a wonderful listener, a calm presence when students need it, and a bright and creative colleague. She is very deserving of the attitude award!”
Students got to sit in some creative places on checkout day last week in the library!
