Hello Track C and D Sunrise Spartans,

The APEX team of superstars will be back next week for the APEX FUN RUN, which is a fitness, character building, and fundraising event.  Find your child’s pledge packet in the lanyard on Monday, and go online with your child’s code to pick out the FREE TEE for APEX. 

APEX challenges students to get pledges for laps they will run on Thursday, April 6^th.  Two Cheer Squad Leaders from our class (parent volunteers) are invited and needed on Thursday, April 6th to cheer student runners and mark the laps that are run.  PROFITS FROM THE APEX FUN RUN WILL BE SPLIT EQUALLY BETWEEN SUNRISE ELEMENTARY AND MCGARVEY ELEMENTARY.

The APEX campaign kicks off with high-energy, fun-filled kick off assemblies next week in the Multipurpose Room. Each day, students will participate in lessons which build LEGENDARY character:  Learn, Engage, Give, Empower, Never Quit, Do
