We are so excited to announce that our school will be participating in the APEX Fun Run again as our major Spring fundraiser! The APEX Fun Run will take place on Wednesday, March 11, 2020. The APEX program will last for 2 weeks and will kick off with a Pep Rally on Monday, March 2nd. Please look for your child's APEX Pledge Kit they will receive on that day and for e-mails coming from your teachers.

 

 

The APEX Fun Run is an interactive leadership program that helps schools all over the country raise funds while promoting leadership, good character, and fitness. This year’s theme is APEX GAME ON! Students will join the APEX Squad on an exciting journey with lessons that are geared towards helping students manage their time and feelings and showing them how to be aware of and care for others, solve problems and make great decisions.

 

 

 

 

Each letter in the theme represents an area of focus including:

 

— The G in game represents being a GO GETTER at any age. Leaders can take action every single day — there’s no need to wait to be great!

 

— The A stands for APPRECIATE. This involves teaching students to place value on the world and people around them, as well as their unique gifts and talents to learn to appreciate what they have.

 

— By staying focused on the future, students can MOVE FORWARD to overcome their fears and understand that mistakes are simply an opportunity to learn.

 

— The E stands for EXPLORE. Being curious and having the courage to try new things afford students endless opportunities to learn, discover and explore!

 

— This letter helps students understand that putting OTHERS FIRST without any expectation of getting something in return, even when it’s convenient, is a strong characteristic of true leaders.

 

— The N stands for NOW WHAT, which encourages students to ask themselves how they can make a positive impact on the world around them. It also inspires children to think about what’s important to them, and how they can set goals and form habits to focus on turning their visions for the future into reality.

The Apex Leadership Company encourages students to be the best version of themselves through these positive themes — not just through the course of the two-week Apex program, but every day throughout their lives. It is the goal that these positive leadership lessons will serve as the building blocks that students will continue to use as the foundation for their strong characters as they develop through various stages of childhood and into adulthood.

 

 

During the APEX Fun Run program, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on Wednesday, March 11th to help our school. Students will run for 30 minutes and will run an average of 26-36 laps around the APEX Raceway. The maximum number of laps is 36, and each lap is 1/16th of a mile. Through APEX’s top-notch online pledging system, sponsors can pledge $1/lap, $2/lap, $5/lap, or any other amount for students and can pledge from anywhere in the world!

 

 

This year, we’re raising funds for the Art program, Intervention Aid, Science Garden, Library Support, Music Program, Theatre Production, and Family Events!

 

 

 

ALL STUDENTS INCLUDED

 

All students will receive APEX wrist bands, an APEX lap counter, and team awards. All students will experience the APEX Fun Run's world-class character program and have access to additional character lesson videos on the free APEX Fun Run App!

 

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP

 

Connect your child to potential sponsors and help acquire pledges for the number of laps they will run on Fun Run day. Family and friends anywhere in the world can support our school.

 

 

All students will also receive their own pledge kit with an individual access code that allows you to enter pledges online.

 

 

Come to the APEX Fun Run and don't forget to invite others to attend our fun-filled community event. Help volunteer for the fun run! We need a few parents to help cheer on students and mark laps. Sign-Up to volunteer HERE!
