This week, your child wore home an APEX FUN RUN necklace with fundraising information. Please be sure to visit the website www.apexfunrun.com and enter your child's access code that allows you to enter pledges online. We already had our first lesson on "Dive In!" and are excited for our daily lessons until the Fun Run on November 13th at Roxbury School! Here are some pictures/video from the Fun Run Pep Rally! Please let me know if you have any questions at all! Thanks so much! Hope to see you at the Fun Run!

This was a letter sent home regarding the Apex Fun Run...
Dear Parents,
We are so excited to announce that our school
will be participating in the Apex Fun Run this year as our
major fundraiser! The Apex program will
be with our students from November 2nd to November 13th,
teaching leadership and fitness as we raise pledges to help our school. The Apex principles complement our character
strengths.
Please look in your
child’s folder and check emails that will be
sent to you from your teacher as the fun run gets nearer.
Please feel free to
visit www.apexfunrun.com to learn about this interactive program that
helps schools all over the country raise money, while promoting leadership and
fitness. This year's character theme is Apex DREAM TEAM. Join Johnny Dreamer and the Apex team in an
exciting journey to learn what it means to become a DREAM TEAM Leader:
o
DIVE IN!
o
RESOURCEFUL!
o
ELEVATE OTHERS!
o
ATTITUDE CHECK!
o
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
During the Apex Fun
Run, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on
November 13th to help our
school. Students will run for 30 minutes
and will run an average 26-36 laps, with the maximum amount of laps being 36
(each lap is 1/16th of a mile). Sponsors
can pledge $1/lap, $2/lap, $5/lap, or any other amount for students. All participants will receive an access code
that allows you to enter pledges online.
All students will receive Apex bands, race-day backpacks, and team
awards. We will need your help in the
following four ways:
•
Help connect your
child to potential sponsors and help them acquire pledges from family, friends
and contacts.
•
Ask your child
about the Apex DREAM TEAM character lessons, and download the Apex Fun Run App!
•
Come to the Apex
Fun Run and don’t forget to invite others to attend our
fun-filled community event.
•
Help volunteer for
the race! We need a few parents to help
cheer on students and mark laps. If you
would like to volunteer for your student’s race, please contact Gail Munsch at gail@blinkhorn.us.
Thank you again for
continued support of Roxbury Elementary R.O.P.E. We are excited to begin this journey with
you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Bonasera and
R.O.P.E.
