Thanks again for supporting MATES raise money for Technology, School Supplies, School Events, and School Improvements!
APEX has also partnered with Feeding America, and each time a student reached $10/lap, APEX makes a donation in that student’s honor which provides about 20 meals to a family around the country in need!
We had 81 students reach $10/lap, which means MATES has helped provide up to 1,620 meals to people in need!
Thank you APEX Leadership Co! 
Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary School (MATES) and the MCN are grateful for our partnership.

LET’S DO THIS!!!
BEST & FINAL Challenge: PRINCIPAL CHALLENGE
If we can JUMP UP as an ENTIRE SCHOOL by $400/lap by Friday, Mrs. Olshever has agreed to let the ENTIRE SCHOOL HAVE A SPORTS JERSEY DAY!!
Basically, if every student got one more pledge of a flat $30 or $1/lap, we’d make it!
Today, we are about halfway to our goal so another $200/lap jump tonight, and we will reach our school-wide goal!
The funds raised this year will be going towards SCHOOL & TEACHER PROGRAMS, CLASSROOM NEEDS, and TECHNOLOGY UPDATES.
Thank you for all your help and support in making this program possible and a major success. It really wouldn’t be possible without you!
