Forest Edge Fall Fun Run!

Hello Parents,

We’re so excited to announce that our school is participating in the Apex Leadership Co program as our only major fundraiser of the Fall semester! The Apex program will last for 2 weeks and kicks off with a Pep Rally on Monday, November 11th at 2:30PM. Please look for your child's Apex Pledge Kit they will bring home and for e-mails coming from your teachers on that day to learn more about helping our school through the Fun Run. What is the Apex Leadership Co program? Apex is a 2 week interactive leadership program combined with a Fun Run fundraiser that helps schools raise funds, while promoting leadership, good character and fitness. Apex’s GAME ON leadership theme takes students on an exciting journey as they learn what it takes to be a game changing leader!

How does the Apex program work?
• With parents help, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will complete at our Fun Run on November 21st
.
• All pledges and payments are made online* at www.MyApexEvent.com.
• Sponsors can pledge a $ amount per lap or any flat donation amount for students.
• Students will average 30-36laps. The maximum laps counted is 36 and each lap is 1/16th of a mile.

We are raising funds for our Eagles!


Thank you for your continued support,

Jillian Zuber, Principal
