Fundraising & Events
Beyond our Membership Drive, learn more about other ways we have fun raising money for our students and teachers.
Birthday Shout Out - $25.00
This year we would like to celebrate your child’s birthday or half birthday in lights on our Explorer Marquee!
Forms can also be picked up in the front office. Please return to the PTO mailbox.
All forms need to be turned in 30 days prior to your child’s birthday.
Butter Braids
Help raise money for our school, and enjoy delicious pastry that arrives in time for the holidays! Information for this event is distributed to all Explorer families.
Family Night Out
Every month, we partner with a local restaurant or business that will give back a portion of sales to Explorer Middle School PTO. It's a great way to support Explorer with either a night off from the kitchen, or a product you can purchase!

Trailblazer Camp
Get ready for Middle School!
Students will receive information about their class schedules, get a school t-shirt, tour the campus, meet and socialize with other students, and learn how to be successful from current 8th and 9th grade students! Students will also enjoy a pizza lunch! Registration occurs at the end of the previous school year, but late registrations are accepted. Late registrations are not guaranteed a t-shirt at the time of camp.
8th Grade Celebration
The 8th Grade Celebration typically happens the evening before the last day of school. In 2021, students enjoyed a socially distanced party at Explorer with a photo booth, frozen drinks from Rita's, food from Chick-fil-A, a DJ, outdoor games, giant inflatables, volleyball, basketball, and prizes.
Planning for this year's event begins in January, and we would love your help! Click below to find out more information.
