APEX FUNDRAISER
Siegrist Parents & Families,
Our major fundraiser with #ApexLeadershipCo kicks off on Tuesday, February 23rd! Some of the program components will be done virtually so ALL students can participate whether they’re at home or on campus. We’re so excited!
Apex is a local company that provides a fun 2-week program where students will learn about important leadership habits and good character traits. Then the program wraps up with a celebratory, high-energy virtual workout event in their classroom. Families are asked to help our school by gathering pledges from family and friends for their Apex Virtual Workout Event on Thursday, March 4th!
This is the primary funding for our PTA budget. The funds we’re raising from this event will go towards:
* Leadership shirts
* Classroom parties
* Field trips
* Recess equipment
* Staff appreciation
* School gifts
* All school events
* And MANY more fun school activities
We understand that some of our families may not be in a position to donate, and that’s OK! If you can help, please know that no donation is too small.

This Week's Featured Innovation Team: Breakfast Explorers
Breakfast Explorers learn about leaders in our community whose job is one of service and we take time to appreciate them!
Fireside Chat with the Fam:
Habit Highlight- Think Win Win
Focus Lesson- Think Win Win is an attitude toward life. When conflict arises leaders use win-win thinking to reach solutions. Thinking win-win takes courage and consideration. You need courage to stand up for your beliefs. At the same time, you need to be considerate of others’ beliefs.
At home extension to this week's innovation Team: Take a look at the Community Helpers video and then have a discussion about what career paths your children are interested in.
