Apangea Update

For those of you who are participating in the Apangea Statewide Challenge with Iowa, we are currently neck and neck with one week to go.

Keep up the good work!  Every minute and lesson counts!

We hope you are having a great day off with your family.  It's a great day for a book, but honestly, the following books are inspiring to read any time.  The first is one of my new favorites about Abraham Lincoln, but the others are equally worth reading about the leadership, sacrifices and lives of our presidents.

Abe's Honest Words

Lincoln: A Photobiography

George Washington, Spymaster: How the Americans Outspied the British and Won the Revolutionary War

 George vs. George: The American Revolution As Seen from Both Sides

Thomas Jefferson

The Revolutionary John Adams

Enjoy!

Opportunity for Budding Graphic Artists

Middleton Parents - This is a fun idea for your budding artists and an amazing opportunity to pay for college. 

Google invites student artists in grades K-12 to use their creative imaginations to redesign the Google logo through the Doodle 4 Google 2012 contest. This year's theme is "If I could travel in time, I'd visit..." The lucky D4G winner will not only see their artwork on Google’s homepage for one day, but they will also receive $30,000 for college and $50,000 for their school. As an added bonus, their winning artwork will appear on a special edition of Crayola's iconic 64 box! Additionally, all the Idaho finalists will see their artwork displayed at an exhibit at the Boise Art Museum. The deadline to enter is March 23, 2012. Visit http://www.doodle4google.com/ to learn more.

New Apangea Contest - Great Prizes for Kids and Families

Apangea's Goal: 15 Million points to the YMCA during the month of February? This would be a donation of $3000.00 and would go a long way toward helping the Y reach their Strong Kids fundraising goal of $17,000 this year. FIFTEEN MILLION POINTS in one month. This has never been attempted before but we are challenging Idaho’s region 3 students to make it happen! If every region 3 Apangea student donates just ONE dollar (5000 points) to the YMCA we would triple our goal- so we know it can be done! Every donation goes to support local children and helps them “Learn, Grow, and Thrive” here in Idaho.  100% of the funds raised in this community stay in this community!

To make it even more fun, we are offering up some exciting prizes, too. For every dollar donation that a student makes to the YMCA during the month of February that student will receive one entry into our raffle for a YEAR LONG FAMILY YMCA MEMBERSHIP. The class that donates the most points to the YMCA during February will win a pizza party and class raffle of Apangea and YMCA gear- including t-shirts, a duffel bag, and family day passes.

I hope you will consider donating.  Good luck!
