APEX fundraising starts this week. Be on the look out for ways to help support our school. This year's fundraiser will be used to finish our interactive board project that we started last year. Our classrooms now feature interactive boards to engage students in learning and allow unique learning opportunities. We will hold our kickoff assemblies on Monday, February 24th and celebrate on March 5th with a Glow Run! Apex will be here teaching character education lessons during the fundraising period.
Tri-C Elementary would like to congratulate Mrs. Fulkerson on being recognized by ISBE's 2025 Those Who Excel Award. Mrs. Fulkerson received the Award of Meritorious Service. This recognition recognizes "experienced educators who take on leadership opportunities and whose accomplishments uplift the culture of learning in their school. They stand as exemplars of their profession and have become integral members of their schools and districts."
