This week kicked off our AMAZING APEX fun run fundraiser. This is one of the easiest, most profitable fundraisers we participate in at Timber Creek. It is so fun! All kids get to participate in the run next Thursday. They get a t-shirt for the fun run, even if they don't get any pledges!
During the Apex Fun Run, students are challenged to get contributions from sponsors for the laps they run. Most students will run an average of 26 to 36 laps (each turn is 1/16 of a mile). The run lasts for 30 minutes and students are not required to run - we have lots of bathroom/water breaks & a mandatory walk halfway! Sponsors can pledge any amount for each lap students run (if you pledge $1 a lap and your child runs 30 laps, you will have to pay $30). You can also do a flat donation. Just be sure to log that into the website! -------> |
planning assistance for our Fall Party! A huge shout out to
our fabulous room parents, Mr. & Mrs. Streeter, for organizing
such a successful party!
Mrs. Ortiz had a great suggestion to share the pictures all parents have taken. I created a DropBox link that you all can upload the photos you took to share with other parents!
This week has been CRAZY busy so I haven't had any time to write in our blog. We started math groups and it may take a while to get on our feet, but I think it will be great for students to learn at their own pace (instead of whole group learning all one subject). We also started our reading groups!
Next week: Tuesday & Friday ~ PE Thursday ~ Fun Run! Remember to wear tennis shoes! |
