EPIC APEX Fundraiser Update

Check out this video from our AWESOME APEX TEAM! Click Here

We’re closing in on the end of the first week of our Apex fundraiser, and it has been amazing! The Daily Habits are really making an impact and the students are engaged. So far our students have learned that

FUTURE LEADERS…

ARE GRATEFUL - We are thankful for all we have in our lives!

SHOW RESPECT - We treat people in ways that show we care!

PRACTICE KINDNESS - We think about others! We’re friendly and gracious! We ask ourselves “How do others feel? What can I do for them?” And the key is we do these kind things for those around us without expecting anything in return!

Check out our Top 5 Classes Leaderboard:

Coach Habetler............$86.00/lap

Coach Laughman.........$84.00/lap

Coach Sanders.............$56.00/lap

Coach Novak................$55.00/lap

Coach Krupa.................$49.00/lap

Don’t see your class? There’s still plenty of time to LOG IN, SHARE & PLEDGE.

Need help finding your child’s access code? You can find it on their VIP Badge, use the code of a sibling, or contact your child’s teacher as they have a list of their students’ codes.

Help us with our Weekend Challenge: Jump challenge! The class with the biggest jump in their class total between today and Monday morning will get to SLIME THE APEX TEAM!

Thank you for being involved. Be on the lookout for more updates soon.

PARENT CONNECTIONS through a Parent University Series

We have already had opportunities for parents to connect with staff at the start of the school year, and an opportunity this week for parents to connect with other parents. It is important for our community to connect with each other in various ways to create a support network as we bring up our kids toward adulthood. The PARENT U series is another opportunity to connect throughout the year! Please consider taking part in as many of these opportunities as possible! Save the dates and times in this LINK, and watch for more details as the year progresses.
