EXPLORING Around Us!

KM Explore exceeded expectations with their Traveling Through Wisconsin Concert! We were SO proud of our team of learners! They worked together each day as a K-5 community to learn the songs as well as help each other through any jitters that might have been occurring. Did you know that this is the first stage performance we have had in 3 years? Amazing!

A BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Beckie Cavanaugh for tirelessly working to make this and EVERY performance she holds the best it can be! Our learners are so fortunate that she brings our campus together with the gift of music!

Our blanket was COMPLETED in time for Family Fun Night! Every learner in our K-5 school had a "hand" in creating this blanket and we used Mrs. Richardson's loom to make it! The white wool is crafted from Richardson Farm sheep! What a work of love! We are proud that a Wales/Explore Campus family is the new owner of this precious piece!

Link to Concert Shirts

If you saw how cute our concert shirts were and would like one for yourself, you are in luck! For just $10 you can purchase one of these shirts. But hurry fast! This offer ends May 20th!
