The Apex Fun Run has Begun!
This year’s Fun Run has begun! The event started off with an assembly from the Apex team.
Each child was sent home with a lanyard with information about the Fun Run event. Included on the lanyard is an access code to your child’s personal fundraising page. Just go to http://www.myapexevent.com and enter the access code to get started.
The Apex team will also be joining us for the Directors’ Dialogue on November 2 to answer any questions you may have!

Bette Alkazian This Thursday!
Thursday, April 5th from 6:30 – 8:00
Come to our last parent empowerment night of the year. We brought back Bette Alkazian for another evening of great parenting advice. She will be sharing “coping skills to ensure our kids become great adults”. This is a free event with free child care provided. Plan to come and hear a fantastic lesson and have a good Q & A at the end. We had a record turnout last year when she came, and we hope you can make it this week.
