The Museum School PTO and Foundation are proud to present the Annual Explorer Dash 5K and 1-mile Fun Run event on Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  This is a family-fun event that raises awareness about The Museum School and unites our community through the importance of incorporating healthy living and eating habits into our everyday life.  Proceeds from the event will benefit The Museum School PTO/Foundation and the continued progress of our school.
