Greetings Bethany Christian Families! Today was STEP #3 of becoming STRONG Leaders with the Apex Team. Our students learned what it means to REFUEL and why it is so important to take care of our three tanks: Our brain, our body, and our soul. We can only be STRONG leaders by taking care of our body through consistent exercise and healthy eating habits. We give our brains a break by getting a good amount of sleep, not worrying or stressing and not spending too much time on our devices. We fill our soul by spending time in God’s word.
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4

Today the Kindergarteners began their ABC countdown! We started with A for artist day. We studied about Frida Kahlo and her amazing self portraits. The only requirements were to make sure they looked realistic, had flowers and an animal somewhere on the page. They did a GREAT job!
Today (5/1) was STEP #2 of becoming STRONG Leaders with our Apex Team, and what it means to be TRUSTWORTHY. In order for leaders to be trustworthy, we have to do what we say and be accountable for our actions. The best teams are filled with members who can rely on and trust each other. When we are trustworthy, we earn more freedom!
'Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.' Proverbs 3:5-6
Here is tonight’s challenge-
Participation Challenge: The class that has the most students participate tonight by obtaining a pledge of any amount and entering onto myapexevent.com will get to have a Popsicle Party with the entire Apex Team!
