Day 1 of APEX - 5/7/24

Dear Shallow Brook Families, 

Did you hear that we had an exciting Pep Rally today to kick off our APEX Color Run school fundraiser? It was really high energy and the students loved it! Over the next two weeks I’ll be sending you a daily email to keep you updated on everything you need to know to help us make this school fundraiser a huge success!

Today we learned: 

1) Our school fundraising goal is $30,000!!

2) Our theme is POWER where each letter stands for a different habit that will unlock the secret to making our school and community (and even your home) a better place.

3) We will all have to work together and harness our POWER to meet our goal. 

Spoiler Alert: Read to the end of this email for a preview of the POWER habits!

What happens next: 

The Apex team will be on campus for the next 2 weeks teaching us about these awesome leadership habits. They will take care of everything (and include every student regardless of participation).

How you can help: 

1) Today your child will bring home a VIP badge. On this badge has an Access and a QR code. Either type in the code at MyApexEvent.Com or scan the code to automatically access your child’s donation page. 

2) Read through it with your child and start sharing it through text, email, and social media. It’s that easy! 

3) The great thing about this program is anyone can donate, no matter how far away they live! 

Today’s challenge: 

Help us be the best! Tonight we have our APEX CHALLENGE! Ohh yea!! The class that gets the most pledges tonight gets to PIE APEX!!!!!

Be on the lookout for daily updates regarding our schools pledge totals, and Night Challenges/Rewards! 

P.S. Here’s that POWER preview I promised. These are the leadership skills your child will be learning over the next 2 weeks:

P = Proactive (how to be a self-starter)

O = Optimistic (keeping the positive attitude always)

W = Work it out (resolving conflict in a healthy way)

E = Effort (hard work yields the best results)

R = Reality Check (recognizing the world for what it is and staying true to who we are)
