Dear Family,
On Wednesday I emailed about the Apex Fun Run program that is at
our school for the next two weeks! The Apex program teaches leadership traits
and fitness to our students who are raising pledges for the Fun Run on
Thursday, February 28th. You may pledge a dollar amount per
lap ran (up to 36 laps) or make a flat donation.
Here’s how the fundraiser works
· Each
student already brought home an Apex Pledge Kit (pledge sheet attached to a
lanyard).
· Login at www.MyApexEvent.com using
the access code found on the front of the pledge kit. Since each child will receive a free t-shirt for the
run, be sure to list your child's shirt size when you log in.
What we’re raising funds for
· The
majority of the funds raised this year will go to our school to pay for
Technology, Outdoor Improvements and Student Enrichment Resources!
· However,
the school has promised that an additional 10% of whatever is
raised by each class goes directly to that teacher to purchase items for their
own classroom. That’s exciting!
· With your
help, I’d love to purchase these items for our classroom: alternative seating, books, and classroom
supplies.
Please help us reach our goal.
