Greggarious has really outdone himself with some of these challenges! The 6th grade had the most shares last night and got to duct tape him to a pole... who will win tonight's challenge?
Where at SMS is Holly?
She walks about the Grade 8 ELA classroom as they read an assignment on their chromebooks.

Did our 3rd grade class really get to turn Gregarious into a mummy today just for sharing their Apex info???? I think Gregarious learned a lesson in how to ADAPT today too 🤔
Congratulations to our 2nd and 5th grade classes! They received frozen treat parties from Gregarious for having the most sign ins on their Apex account. Way to go! Thanks for helping to support the security fund for SMS!
Our 8th graders have been enjoying special privileges this year since it’s their last year at SMS! Recently, they enjoyed a pizza lunch, movie, & some drinks from Tim Hortons in our Kindergarten classroom! Thank you, Mrs. Kotlik!
It seems like just yesterday that they were sitting in tiny little chair like these...
Hey parents! Next Wednesday is our Apex Remix fitness event! Every student will receive a t-shirt, but we need everyone to log in to choose and guarantee their student's t-shirt size. Either scan the QR code on the pledge kit your student brought home or enter the access code at myapexevent.com. The first screen you will see before getting to the Share Wizard will allow you to choose the t-shirt size. Thank you once again for your support of St Mary's School!
Where was Holly today?? Holly was very interested in the miracle of life in the Montessori Children's House! #smsthplacetobee #Montessori
SMS Parents! Our Apex Fundraiser is underway and we need your help! This fundraiser is designed not to burden parents. Rather, Apex's powerful Share Wizard allows you to reach out to family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, business associates etc who are willing to help our school add much needed security improvements.
Other local Buffalo catholic schools have experienced great results in their Apex fundraisers by using the Share Wizard by having students get 10-20 "shares".
Here is a video of the local Apex team showing you how to use the Share Wizard.

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗲𝘅 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀: ADAPT
To adapt means we are able to adjust to different situations, especially when they’re out of our control!
𝗔𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿: Talk with your child about a situation they have gone through that required they adapt or change their behaviors or expectations. Do they sometimes struggle with new experiences? What are some things that will help them adjust and feel more comfortable?

LEADERSHIP LESSON DAY 1 - FEARLESS
Over the next 2 weeks Apex will take students on a quest in search of the
key to becoming great leaders and learn some important habits along the
way. We’ll highlight a different leadership habit each day so families can
continue the conversation at home.
Our first Apex leadership habit is FEARLESS.
Being fearless means we’re willing to push ourselves outside of our comfort
zone. It means we’re willing to take the first step into the unknown, even if
we fail!
At Home Conversation Starter:
Ask your child if they have ever been afraid to try something new because they thought they wouldn’t be able to do it well. Talk to them about ways to break down a big challenge into smaller pieces so it is easier to overcome.
#ApexLeadershipCo #ApexXFACTOR #BuildingLeaders
We kicked off our week with APEX learning about leadership with a pep rally today. Be sure to ask your child about it.
Yearbook orders are due by May 19th. Use this link to get the form:
