Weekly Update for 03/06/17

Apex Fun Run

During the Apex Fun Run, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on Friday, March 10, 2017 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 lap counters, 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 Legend” 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 Kara Allen at karaallen79@gmail.com or Cheryl Lucas at lucasfamilyof5@gmail.com.

Thank you again for continued support of Carrollton Elementary and we are excited to begin this journey with you!
