Reminder: Tomorrow is Pajama Day!

Our Apex fundraiser is off to a great start. At our assembly today, students received their VIP badge. Included on this are directions for getting logged in and sending notifications for pledges. This fundraiser has been great at providing funds to purchase engaging materials for our classrooms. We will celebrate on Wednesday by having a pajama day since the Apex team made their halfcourt shot. Tonight's challenge is to share your your Apex link with 10 contacts. The winning class will receive a donut decorating contest with the Apex Team!
