Apex Fun Run Information
I am so excited to tell you about the Apex Leadership Co. program that will be at our school for the next two weeks! The Apex program teaches leadership and fitness to our students who are raising pledges for the Fun Run on Friday, November 30th.
This year's character theme is Apex STRONG! Students will join the Apex Squad on an exciting journey as they learn what it truly means to be a strong leader.
o Selfless!
o Trustworthy!
o Refuel!
o Overcome!
o Next Level!
o Grateful!
Here’s how the fundraiser works
· Each student has an Apex Pledge Kit that was taken home today.
· With parents help, students can raise pledges for the laps they will run on Fun Run day.
· There are 2 ways to pledge: A Flat Donation or Per Lap Pledge ($30 flat donation is equivalent to $1 per lap for prize calculation).
· Students will average between 26 and 36 laps, with a 36-lap max. Each lap is 1/16th of a mile.
· Our class has a goal of reaching $3 per lap for each student, or $90 in Flat donations.
What we’re raising funds for
· The majority of the funds raised this year will go to our PTA to pay for a Technology Makers Room including a 3D Printer, Lego Area, & more!!
· However, the PTA 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: (class rug, books, etc.).
Enter pledges at www.MyApexEvent.com
· Our donation collections will all be done online through the Apex website www.MyApexEvent.com.
· Login with the access code found on the front of your students pledge kit to enter pledges online.
· Sponsors can still pay by cash/check if they choose. Cash/check donations should be turned into the school any time before the Fun Run, so that students receive credit.
Other family and friends can pledge too
· Once you’re logged in, you can share your students pledge page by text, email, on Facebook and Twitter. It’s super easy!
Please help us reach our goal! If you need your child’s access code to login at www.myapexevent.com, please just reply. I hope to see you at the Fun Run next week!
