Celebrate the holidays with a Pizza and Lights night for this month’s Dine Out Event! December's Dine Out event is brought to you by Jake's in Willow Glen, located at 1074 Lincoln Ave. on Thursday, December 18th from 11am to 10pm. 

Invite your friends and family out for this one! Fill up on delicious pizza and drinks, cozy up, and then take the quick 10 minute walk (or two minute drive) over to Willow Glen Lights and enjoy the incredible holiday lights. Go west on Willow St. from Jake’s and meander the streets between Carolyn Ave. and Glen Eyrie Ave. for the best of the sights. The lights are free, but a great excuse to get out and support our school!

A member of the Fundraising team will come by at noon to pick up your recycling. 

Recycling Drop-Off Day:

What items can you donate? Any aluminum or plastic that contains a California Refund Value (CRV). Please bring recycling sorted by type: aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Please remove caps from all bottles. We are not able to accept milk containers, wine and spirit bottles.

Matching is the easiest way to get money for our school! Many companies in the Bay Area double charitable gifts and encourage their employees to volunteer their time to nonprofits in the community which greatly increase the impact of your support. As Explorer is a nonprofit, time working in the class and donations are often eligible for corporate matching. Check with your company’s HR department to learn more! Here’s a handy list of companies in the Bay Area that provide corporate matching.

Explorer Preschool is an IRS recognized 501 (c)(3) organization (EIN 94-1483367) and money provided for fundraising purposes is tax deductible.
