OCE PTA - Apex Fun Run is Coming to our School on November 10th!
Thank you for your support of OCE and the investments you make in your children's lives. We are so excited to introduce you to this semester's only major fundraiser, the Apex Fun Run! The Apex Fun Run will last for 2 weeks and will kick off with a Pep Rally on November 1st.
Please look for your child's Pledge Kit that they will receive on that day. We will have emails coming from your teachers. 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 will receive 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.
We Have a New Website!

* Group tabs which house timely information for Community, Parents and Students
* A Main Menu bar that will quickly direct you to the information you’re seeking through drop-down menus
* Rotating images, showcasing the wonderful things going on and about OCE
