Apex Fun Run Is Here!

Submitted by cami.chang on

The PTA's annual fundraiser this year is the Apex Fun Run! Next Wednesday, November 11th, students will spend 30 minutes running laps. This week and into next week they can gather pledges from friends and family, and after the Fun Run they will collect those pledges. For example, if someone pledged to donate $1 per lap for a student and that student runs 30 laps next Wednesday, he/she would give the student $30 after the Fun Run. Flat donations are also accepted and appreciated! This fundraiser gives a large portion of the money raised right back to Wilson Elementary (for school supplies, general classroom improvements, etc.), and 10% of the money each classroom earns goes right back to that classroom specifically.

The week was kicked off with an energizing assembly by the Apex team. During this fundraiser, the students will be learning all about how to become a good leader. The character theme is the "Dream Team," and each day students will watch videos on different aspects of good leadership:

 o  Dive In!

o   Resourceful!

o   Elevate Others!

o   Attitude Check!

o   Make A Difference!

We are excited to have the Apex team here for these next two weeks and to see them in our classrooms and helping our students and school!
