Our Apex pep rally was AMAZING, and our Palominos are officially in Super Hero mode! 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Apex Super Heroes is underway, and pledging is now open!
Here’s how you can support Powell:
1. Visit myapexevent.com and enter your child’s access code, or scan the QR code on their VIP Badge.
2. Add a photo or video to your child’s page and share it with family and friends.
3. Make a one-time donation or pledge an amount per lap for our event on October 8.
Last year, we started raising funds to update our classroom technology. This year, we hope to raise enough to put new screens in every classroom. Every pledge helps us get closer to that goal!
Thank you for supporting our Palominos! 💛
Powell is on a mission to bring updated technology to every classroom! 🦸
Last year’s fundraising gave us a strong start. This year, we hope to raise the remaining funds needed to replace our classroom projectors with screens that better support teaching and learning.
Our Apex Super Heroes fundraiser launches tomorrow! Watch the video to learn more, and let’s make this happen for our Palominos! 💪
