👖 Nurse’s Closet Need 👕
Nurse Kelie's Closet is running low on a few key clothing items. If you happen to be cleaning out closets or shopping soon, we could really use:
• Boys & Girls shorts and pants
• Sizes 5, 6, and 7
These items help us take care of those unexpected spills, muddy recesses, and little accidents during the school day.
Also, if your student has borrowed clothes from the nurse this year, please wash and return them when you can.
Thank you for always supporting our Apollo students! 💙

📍Apollo Library
It’s School Social Worker Week and we are beyond grateful for the incredible heart and dedication of Mrs. Bailee Fosse! 💙✨
At the elementary level, a school social worker plays such an important role in the success of our students. Mrs. Fosse supports our kids socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Helping them build coping skills, navigate friendships, regulate big feelings, and feel safe and supported at school.
She works closely with families, staff, and community resources to make sure every student has what they need to thrive, both inside and outside the classroom. Whether it’s a small group, a one-on-one conversation, crisis support, or simply being a calm and trusted presence, Mrs. Fosse makes a lasting difference every single day.
Our staff and students are so fortunate to have her in our building.
If you see Mrs. Fosse this week, be sure to thank her for the compassion, patience, and heart she pours into Apollo! We appreciate you more than you know!

Thank you for supporting our school and helping grow a love of reading! ❤️📖
We will be discussing the upcoming Mother - Daughter Dance.. Volunteers STILL needed to make this a fun successful event.
Please plan to attend to learn more about our PTO and how to get involved!
This week we are celebrating someone who truly makes a difference in the hearts and lives of our students, Ms. Anderson. She is a constant light at Apollo, meeting every child with kindness, patience, and genuine care.
Through her counseling lessons, Ms. Anderson helps our students learn how to understand their feelings, build confidence, solve problems, and treat others with compassion. She gives them tools they will carry far beyond the classroom...how to be resilient, how to use their voice, and how to believe in themselves.
Whether she’s offering a listening ear, guiding a small group, or supporting a student through a tough moment, Ms. Anderson always has the best interests of our students and staff at heart. We are so grateful for the love, safety, and support she brings to our school each and every day.
