Important Updates and AnnouncementsAPEX Leadership Company
On May 9th, we kick-off our APEX Fun Run fundraiser here at Van Gorder. While this is a fundraiser, it also provides a great leadership component for our students and has been very successful with students and staff in the past at other schools and this past year here at Van Gorder.
Every student at our school participates in the daily leadership and character lessons, receives daily silicone wistsbands, enjoys classroom & school-wide rewards, and takes part in the celebratory, high-energy fitness event, regardless of financial participation in the fundraiser.
Support Our School!!
When the fundraiser kicks off, help our school by:
1) Making a donation online at
www.MyApexEvent.com
2) Send a link to invite family and
friends to also donate online.
3) Encourage your child to do their
best at our fitness event!

Camp Discovery Summer Camp at Van Gorder ES!
This summer, Van Gorder will be hosting Camp Discovery for two weeks. These summer camps will fill up very quickly, but because they are being hosted here, our students and families will get the first chance to register. I have attached a flyer with more details about the camps and the link below is to their website which has all the camp schedules and camp descriptions.
We will not be opening the registration to the public until next week, March 7th. Van Gorder families will have this whole week to register before anyone else. The registration is password-protected to allow only our families to register, so please do not share the link below.
