💙🐋 WILLETT FAMILIES, THIS IS OUR FINAL PUSH! 🐋💙

Our Apex Obstacle Course was an AMAZING day, but our fundraiser isn't over yet! 🎉

Right now, LESS THAN 65% OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE LOGGED IN! We know we can do better, Willett! 💪🦸‍♀️

Here's our challenge for every parent, guardian, and family:

✅ LOG IN to your student's Apex fundraising page at myapexevent.com with your child’s access code or scan the QR code which can be found on their VIP Badge.

📸 PERSONALIZE your student's page, if you haven't already.

🔵 HIT THAT LITTLE BLUE SHARE BUTTON! Send your student's page to friends, family, and anyone who might want to support Willett Elementary.

Every share helps spread the word, and every donation brings us closer to our goal of a fully stocked Scholastic Book Vending Machine for our students! 📚💙

You don't have to make a donation yourself to help. Logging in and sharing your student's page is a HUGE way to support our school!

Let's see how many more Willett families we can get logged in and sharing. We can do this!

💙 ONE GOAL. ONE SCHOOL. EVERYONE WINS.

🏁🐳 IT'S RACE DAY, WILLETT!! 🎉💙💛

Our Apex Obstacle Course is HERE, and we are SO excited to celebrate with our students today!

But we need one BIG final push from our Willett families! 🚨

Our donations are trailing last year's fundraising total, and less than 40% of our students are actively fundraising.

That means nearly two-thirds of our students haven't joined in yet! Imagine what we could accomplish if more families participated!

📚 Our goal is to purchase a BOOK VENDING MACHINE that will provide FREE books to Willett students for years to come!

💙 Haven't registered? There's still time!
💛 Already fundraising? Keep sharing your link!
💙 Can't donate? Sharing with family and friends makes a difference!

We need EVERYONE to help us cross that finish line! 🏁

Hello Families!

This week, we’ve learned even more about how to be a SUPERHERO! We’ve learned how to…

*Go the Extra Mile - Take care of the team and never give up!.

*Be Reliable - Show up for others, have balance and respect ourselves and others.

*Be a Hero - It's about the little choices we make everyday and not waiting for things to happen but choosing to make a difference!

Tomorrow is our Obstacle Course! We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate all our students (and you!) who have contributed to our fundraiser. We would LOVE for you to join us to cheer on the kids! And for extra fun, wear our Apex colors, orange and blue!

Check out the Image for the lineup by grade!

Tonight’s Challenge: If the whole school can reach 90% of our school wide goal then the whole school will get to see your principals dressed up as SUPERHEROES!!!! Also the class with the most shares overnight will get to SPRAY PAINT Big Deal's hair and the class with the most pledges overnight will receive a 1 hour LAUNCH JUMP PASS!!!!

How you can help:

Ask your student to make personal phone calls to friends and family that have not yet pledged to see if maybe they missed the email/text.

Make sure your child is well rested, has a good breakfast, brings a water bottle and wears comfortable shoes made for fitness tomorrow.

Remember: THERE ARE 2 NIGHTS LEFT TO PLEDGE BEFORE THE END OF THE PROGRAM! Let’s make a big push to get as many pledges as we can and meet our school challenge!

Lost your student’s access code? Simply email our Team Leader [email protected] and he will gladly get that to you!

Thank you for your continued support!

Hope we’ll see you at the big event tomorrow!
