Spring Carnival

Our Spring Carnival will be here before we know it.  Contact the PTSA if you would like to volunteer or have an idea for a booth you would like to enter.

A Piece of Love

Explore Knowledge Academy has so much love that we want to share it with our Community! Please give a piece of yours by participating in this heartwarming opportunity. All you need to do is crochet or knit at least one 7" x 9" piece. The NHS/NJHS will collect the pieces and sew them together to make afghans. They will then donate them to The Shade Tree. They will also include a personalized note with each one so the recipients can know who sent their love. The more pieces we are able to collect the more lives we will be able to touch. Don't know how to knit or crochet? Mrs. Chapman said she would be happy to set up a little mini class to teach us!  Thank you to all the parents and students who have brought pieces so far, keep them coming!
