Elementary Parents, With the seasons changing, here are a few reminders about dress-code that we need to emphasize. We really need your help with leggings and shorts.

What a fun way to close out the Apex Leadership Co two-week challenge especially on a rainy Friday. Fourth grade certainly had a blast. 📺WATCH📺: https://www.facebook.com/ArpElementary/videos/1595857727786319 But every grade level got to experience the Apex obstacle course. Thank you Arp, America for helping us raise lots of funds that will go a long way to help your students have more equipment to use during recess, and more options to enjoy themselves and grow.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE?: Because they raised the most money💰during the last two days of the Apex Leadership challenge, Mrs. Susan Brooks' 2nd grade class got to toilet paper🧻 Arp Elementary Principal Mrs. Beth Hines' office Friday. And she was such good sport about it. 📺WATCH📺: https://www.facebook.com/ArpElementary/videos/1452951725667451
