HELP WANTED

We are calling for any PTA members who want to help out by being on our Executive board!  

It is a fun group and want you to join us!!

You are only committed to two meetings a month. One is the executive board meeting and the other is the general meeting.

It is a perfect way to get involved with the school and really make a difference!!  You can bring ideas to the table, vote on things that you think will make a difference and participate in school events. 

Positions that are open and need to be filled ASAP:

  • Fundraising: Help the PTA figure out fun and innovative ways to raise money.  
  • President:  Currently we have a stand-in president to help us in our journey forward.  If you are interested, you get a unique opportunity to work with her to help guide you on your way!  It is a great way to start!!
  • Membership: How can you help get others to join? Are you considered someone who can motivate people? Social? Fun? Awesome? Then this is the position for you!!

Chair positions available (Do not need to attend executive meetings- only general)

  • Art docent: We need someone to help get art back into the classrooms.  Help us find creative ways for kids to embrace their imagination
  • Scholastic book fair: Help be our point of contact with scholastic books and get books into the hands of the kids!

APEX Fundraiser

What a record-breaking year!!  We were able to raise $16,172 for the school.  Teachers will get 20% towards their classrooms.  This could not happen without the awesome help of family, friends, staff and teachers!!  We sincerely thank you!!

Here are some fun facts!

  • There were 696 pleges
  • APEX leadership taught 126 lessons.  That is 28 classes a day!!!  Cheeto and Jumpstart Jessie made sure to go to every classroom while at Jenkins Creek!
  • The school ran a total of 15,672 laps
  • We had 33 students reach the $10/move goal.  Because of that, APEX will be donating their own proceeds to Feeding America
  • 30% of pledges came from parents.  70% came from other sources!!
  • There were pledges from 28 states!!

The theme was AS ONE this year.  All lessons are geared towards showing students how to manage their time and feelings, be aware of and care for others, solve problems and make great decisions!!
