POINSETTIA'S APEX FUNDRAISER IS EXTENDED THROUGH THE WEEKEND - LAST CHANCE TO DONATE!!

Hello Families,

Thanks so much for your participation in our first Apex Fundraiser! Our Obstacle Course Event yesterday was a blast! We are raising money to support Enrichment Opportunities, Additional Classroom Support and Field Trips, but we are a bit short of our goal and need YOUR help.

The exciting news is that you have one more chance this weekend to help us reach our goal and we have a special opportunity for your students!

We are leaving the pledging open over this holiday weekend and have a very special weekend challenge! AND your student will have one final opportunity to earn some thank-you gifts too.

WHO LOVES GOLF N’ STUFF?!?!

For every new $30 donation your student gets over the weekend, they will earn a virtual entry into a raffle. So, the more they raise, the more virtual raffle entries and higher chance they have of winning! (i.e if your student raises $150, that is 5 virtual raffle entries) We will pull one student’s name from TK-2nd and one name from 3rd-5th. Each of those two winners will get a $100 GIFT CARD TO GOLF N’ STUFF to have fun with their family and/or friends!

Let’s try for one final push to hit our goal!

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. LOG IN at myapexevent.com using your child’s ACCESS CODE:
● Please let your teacher know OR email [email protected] if you need your access code.
● You can also scan the QR code on your student’s pledge kit
2. MAKE A DONATION:
● We are short of our goal, please help us reach our budget goals for this year!

Thank you again for your continued support – please help us reach our goal over the weekend!

▶ 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗲𝘅 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀: ADAPT
To adapt means we are able to adjust to different situations, especially when they’re out of our control!

🗣 𝗔𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿: Talk with your child about a situation they have gone through that required they adapt or change their behaviors or expectations. Do they sometimes struggle with new experiences? What are some things that will help them adjust and feel more comfortable?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 piece 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆!!

Over the next 2 weeks, Apex will take students on a mission to discover the X-FACTOR. During this mission the students will learn a combination of different habits that unlock the SECRET to making our world a better place for everyone. We’ll highlight a different leadership habit each day so families can continue the conversation at home.

▶ Our first Apex leadership habit is FEARLESS.
Being fearless means we’re willing to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone. It means we’re willing to take the first step into the unknown, even if we fail!

🗣 𝗔𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿: Ask your child if they have ever been afraid to try something new because they thought they wouldn’t be able to do it well. Talk to them about ways to break down a big challenge into smaller pieces, so it is easier to overcome.

Last night's challenge Winner was Coach Cruz's class with 65% of the students LOGGED IN! Great Work! Your class gets to PIE Almighty Jorge!!

Tonight's challenge is the SHARE 5 CHALLENGE: the class that has the most students input 5 NEW SHARES on the SHARE WIZARD will get to smash FIVE pies in their Apex members face!! Good luck teams!
