Dear Parents,
I am so excited to tell you about the Apex Fun Run event 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 next Thursday the 18th.
This year’s character theme is Apex Legends, where students will follow Tikes, Seeds, Specs, Jazz, and Wheels through the pages of their legendary adventure to discover JJ Cortez’s hidden treasure. Along the way these five friends discover what it truly means to be a Legendary leader:
- Learn
- Engage
- Give
- Empower
- Never Quit
- Do
Students are raising pledges for the laps they run (between 26 and 36, 36-lap max). Each lap is 1/16th of a mile. For instance, $1 per lap means $30 dollars total pledged if the student runs 30 laps. Our class has a goal of reaching $3 per lap for each student, or $90 simple donations.
Here’s the important part! The majority of the funds raised this year will go to our school to pay for classroom materials, general school improvements, etc. However, the school has promised that an additional 10% of whatever we raise in each class goes directly to that teacher to use in their own classroom My goal is to raise $100/lap, enough money to buy more higher level reading books for our classroom library!
Please help us reach our goal by talking to family and friends about pledging for your students. A great way to do this is to use the “Share Wizard” found on your students pledge page. It’s super easy. The Share Wizard is an awesome tool that allows you to send texts, emails and share posts on Facebook and Twitter to help your child get sponsors for the fun run.
If you need your child’s access code to login at www.apexfunrun.com, please just reply. I hope to see you at the Fun Run next week!
Thanks,
Coach Crowley
