The Principal's Den
Thank you for your support of Sunset Valley Elementary and the investments you make in your children’s lives. We are so excited to announce that our school will be participating in the Apex Fun Run again as our major fundraiser for the year (if we meet our budget)! The Apex program will last for 2 weeks and will kick off with a Pep Rally on Tuesday, November 14th at 1:45pm. Please look for your child's Apex Pledge Kit they will receive on that day and for e-mails coming from your teachers.
Please note that this year our donation collections will all be done online through the Apex website www.apexfunrun.com to make the collection process easier and faster. Of course, sponsors can still pay by cash/check if they choose, we just ask that these donations be turned into the school any time before the Fun Run, so that students receive credit.
