We love the amazing leadership and character building portion of the Apex program as it focuses on developing student self-control and interpersonal skills that are vital for school and life success. With this year’s #ApexAsOne theme, students will embark on an incredible two-week quest in search of the key to becoming great leaders, learning to dream big, and making a positive impact on the world. These quick, engaging lessons tie in with our schools vision and mission, encourages students to create a positive environment, and inspires them to lead by example.

Tolerance: to recognize and respect the opinions, practices, or behavior of others.”
This week, we observed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day – he dreamed of a world more tolerant than the one he lived in. We know that intolerant behavior can led to discrimination, prejudices, and a “closed mind.”
This week, open yourself up to the thoughts and ideas of others!
