Giving Your Time and Support through Parent Council

Library Announcement: Sponsor A Book

Donate a book to the library with your gift of $20 (cash or check made out to EECS). Each book has been carefully chosen for age appropriateness and quality. Your child will sign a “Donated by…” nameplate and he or she will be the very first student to check it out. Our selections will change monthly. Sponsoring books is a great way to foster a sense of ownership in the library for your children and to encourage them to read more. It’s also a great way to honor a child's birthday, commemorate a special event, honor a teacher, or just to help support the Explorer library. You can see our current list of 144 books that need sponsorship at the following website http://destiny.explorerelementary.org (click on "Explorer Elementary Charter School" in the center, the "Catalog" at the top, next "Resource Lists" on the left side, "Public Lists" tab near the top, "Books to Sponsor" then "View" and finally "show all" on the right). That way you'll see the whole list on one screen. You can get information about each book by clicking on the title. Thank you! Marsha Korobkin & Roxyanne Young. Contact library@pcee.info.

Donating Directly to Explorer -- The Explorer Fund

The Explorer Fund supports the faculty, staff and classroom programs that make Explorer a unique school. Your donation is an investment in your child’s education, an endorsement of Explorer’s mission and philosophy, and a gift that benefits the entire Explorer community.

Your gift to the Explorer Fund goes directly to funding this year’s operating budget and is spent on your child’s academic and social emotional education this year.

Did you know:

  • State funding does not cover the full cost of educating each child. The Explorer Fund helps make up the difference.
  • The Explorer Fund is essential because it helps pay for the everyday necessities that allow Explorer to operate and thrive unlike any other school.
  • Gifts to the Explorer Fund are 100% tax deductible.
Please learn more by visiting the Explorer Fund page on the Explorer Elementary Charter School's official website.

Explorer can accept credit card contributions. You can use this printable pledge form or click this link to donate online.
