OCE Principal's Message
FROM MRS. LANGSTON TO MAXIMIZE HOME AND SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
Apex/PTA Fun Run Pledges! Go Blue Jays!
Have you looked at your child's Pledge Kit? Please feel free to visit www.apexfunrun.com to hear about this interactive program that helps schools all over the country raise money, while promoting leadership and fitness in the classes.
During the Apex Fun Run, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on November 10th to help their school. Students will run for 30 minutes and average 26-36 laps, with the maximum amount of laps being 36 (each lap is 1/16th of a mile). Sponsors can pledge $1, $2, $5 or any other amount for each lap students run. All participants have received an access code that allows you to enter pledges online. This year's funds will go towards the purchase of a new sound system for OCE.
The Apex Fun Run is for every student regardless of financial giving. All students will receive Apex bands, race-day lap counters and team awards. We invite all parents to come to the Apex Fun Run and share in this great event! Thank you again for your continued support - we are excited to begin this journey with you.
Family Literacy and Math Night is Thursday, November 10th!
