Apex Games are in full swing at Dickerson MS!  This is the same company that has brought us the Color Battle in the past, but with a fun new twist for our students.  This incredibly fun event has students participating in multiple activities throughout this week and next, where they can earn prizes, classroom rewards and celebrate with their friends in a day of amazing activities. It’s a lot of fun! 

Students are encouraged to continue to get donations to help our school raise money for the continuity of the initiatives promoted by The Dickerson MS Foundation.  Each student receives a unique Access Code on their pledge sheet that allows them to access their donations page by logging in at www.anython.com. 

All students can participate in the activities now through next week. And to be a part of the Apex Games event celebration, a minimum of $50 raised for the school is needed.

At a Pep Rally, students learned how to access their donations page and how to use the “share wizard” feature: a tool that allows the students to promote the fundraiser by sending emails and text messages to everyone they know. Please encourage your student to gather as many contacts as possible (family, friends, neighbors etc.) and to enter on his/her donation page and ask for pledges. The more the word about our fundraiser gets out, the greater the chances are we will reach our goal.

Daily challenges are bing given (classroom and individual) by the Apex Team to reward students that participate in the process of sharing the school’s donation page with the world. Any information collected is encrypted and protected by law, being used for the sole purpose of promoting this amazing initiative. Being a student-led fundraiser, this is also a great opportunity to teach the students the concept of accountability: by actively helping out, they can enjoy the benefits of the funds gathered for their own school.

Here are the first challenges given to the students:

•    Every student who raises at least $75 by Monday will earn a VIP Access pass to the Event on Friday November 4th. 

•    Students who share their donation page with at least 20 contacts by Monday night will earn 20 raffle entries for the grand prize (given away at the end of the program).

Funds for this event will be going towards Virtual Reality equipment, 3D Printers, enhancements to Fresh Air Friday, campus beautifications, professional development for teachers and much more. 

Thank you for your continued support!
