AFES 2025 MARATHON
The annual Apex Friendship Elementary School Marathon will be held April 17, 2025 at 10am. This is a FUN event to get families out walking or jogging together. Students run or walk most of the miles at home then complete the marathon at school with the school community. Registration forms have been sent home with students. Please return registration as soon as possible. You may send $5 with your student or pay online at https://app.givebacks.gives/marathon2025. Families are invited to watch and cheer for our Stars, but are NOT allowed to run with students. Let’s get moving!
Request from STEM
Mrs. Caruso needs both empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls for upcoming projects. Thank you!
‼️Volunteers Needed: Family Fun Fest‼️
Family Fun Fest still needs event co-chairs and day of event volunteers. Please sign up if you are interested and available. We do not have a date, so you will be a part of coordinating that too, but it will be in May. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4DA8A92FA4F5C52-53728086-afes#/
Spirit Rock
Have you seen the amazing artists we have in this school taking their turn and painting our rock by the Teacher Parking lot?! You can also get in touch with your inner artist and send a message to your special Shining Star! There are still plenty of weeks available to share a message of birthday wishes, congratulations, or just something fun!
