It’s Happening! Apex is HERE!!
Dear Parents,
Today was our Apex Pep Rally kicking off our two-week fundraiser and leadership program! The Apex Team will be on campus sharing amazing leadership lessons and helping our school raise money for Student Incentives & Classroom Teacher Wish List
The fundraiser will end with a super fun celebration event on Friday, May 9th.
This Year’s Leadership Theme: APEX FUTURE - As Future Leaders we see that what we do right now can shape our world and make our future brighter!
Our School Fundraising Goal: $25,000
Our First Challenge: The class that raises the MOST IN PLEDGES tonight, will take hold of the Apex Top Pledges Medallion!!!
Go to www.myapexevent.com and log in using your child’s unique ACCESS CODE. Their Access Code and a QR code for the site can be found on their VIP Badge which is coming home TODAY.
Use the “Share Wizard” tool to send a donation link to 10 family members and friends via email, text, and social media asking that they donate online to help our school.
Make a flat donation OR pledge a dollar amount per lap that your child completes at the event. Reported laps are capped at 36 max. If a student is absent or unable to participate, their laps completed will default to 30.
Be on the lookout for daily updates regarding our pledge totals as a class along with other information about the big event next week. Check out this document for answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
Thank you,
Mr. Bourne, Principal

Good morning SMUSD Families, we are continuing to have technical issues. Phones, Email, and the Website may be impacted. Please continue to use ROOMS to communicate with teachers and staff. We are working diligently to correct the issue. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
Congratulations to Andrea Stoneburg, multi-grade level Structured Teaching Classroom teacher, our Teacher of the Year!
Ms. Stoneburg has set the bar high for her students and they have had amazing successes in academics, life skills, and self regulation. Her classroom has become one of strong connections and positive culture.
She continues to develop her support team, who are equally compassionate about student success.
Ms. Stoneburg went into this year expecting a completely different path, but has really found a role perfectly matches the love she has for kids.
Thank you!
