Explore Academy Peoria

Today was an amazing first day of school! 🎉 It felt like the day flew by—in the best way. It was wonderful seeing our students excited to be back on campus, reconnecting with friends, and already diving into their learning.

Here's to a year filled with growth, curiosity, and unforgettable memories. Wishing everyone an incredible school year ahead! ❤️📚🦅

A big thank you to everyone who attended our Applebee’s Fundraising Breakfast! 🥞🍎 The event was a great success, and your support means so much to our student-athletes and sports programs.

Please continue cheering us on and supporting our teams. We are grateful for our amazing Explore Academy community! ❤️🏅

🥞 PANCAKE BREAKFAST FUNDRAISER! 🥞

Explore families, we need your help making our pancake breakfast a huge success!

As we bring more sports programs and field trips to our school, we also need ways to keep costs low for students and families. This year, our sports and field-trip programs will help support one another, so every ticket sold helps create more opportunities for our scholars.

🎟️ Tickets are $10 each, and our school keeps $6 from every ticket sold!

Each breakfast includes:

🥞 Unlimited pancakes
🥓 One serving of bacon
☕ Unlimited refills of coffee, milk, or juice

Even if sports are not your family’s thing, I think we can all support field trips, pancakes, and creating memorable experiences for our students! Please invite grandparents, relatives, friends, neighbors, and anyone else who would enjoy breakfast while supporting our school.

📍 Applebee’s
8001 W. Bell Rd., Peoria

📅 Saturday, August 1
⏰ 8:00–10:00 AM

The more people we invite and the more tickets we sell, the more opportunities we can provide while keeping costs affordable. Let’s pack Applebee’s and kick off an amazing school year together! 💙💛

We can't wait to see you there!
