Bronco Families,
WOW! WOW! WOW! Your support and generosity have helped us exceed our goal of $75,000!!
Thank you so much for your help! Our Broncos had SO much fun yesterday celebrating their leadership development and fundraising. Special shout-out to our parents and staff who helped clean up after our “Car Wash” parties at the end of the obstacle course.
We will be keeping our donations site open through the weekend. The website may show that it is closed, but it will be open through midnight on Sunday, October 12th.
This also means that any NEW donations can still earn prizes! The APEX Team has let us know they will be back next week to deliver prizes to anyone who did not receive them today and for any new prizes earned over the weekend.

The Pre-K and Kinder STEMtacular is Tuseday, Oct. 14, 6-8 p.m. This superhero-themed event is bigger than ever, thanks to a partnership with the Fort Worth Museum of Science, which is bringing its Family STEAM Festival to Arlington. The fun includes hands-on activities, live science demonstrations, and interactive experiences for children and parents alike. Attendees who provide feedback will even receive free tickets to the museum.
The STEMtacular is exactly what the name says. It’s STEMtacular! And it’s free! So, get your little learners – and your whole family – dress up as superheroes and come out for a STEMtacular time with family.
Register here for the Pre-K and Kinder STEMtacular:
