It was an absolute joy to see all the families and kids dressed up in their awesome costumes. The energy and excitement was contagious, and everyone had an incredible time. We also want to extend a special thanks to our amazing teachers and staff for joining in on the fun and wearing their own creative costumes. We couldn't have asked for a better night!

Join us at Eagle Glen for our Thanksgiving Feast on Wednesday, November 15th. Please see Flyer (included in this post) for all the details!
What an incredible week at Eagle Glen. Our 1st-grade class had the privilege of hosting some AMAZING special guest speakers last week including a farmer, a scientist, a highway patrol officer, and our very own superintend Dr. Slagle. The kids had so many questions and were completely engaged throughout the day. It was heartwarming to see our students learning firsthand about the diverse roles that help shape our community.
A HUGE thank you to all our guest speakers for taking the time to inspire and educate our young minds today! 🙌🌟
"ON AIR"---Did you know that 5th grade students host our school wide "live" announcements each morning?
What an amazing week we all had with the APEX crew. Thank you to all the parents and families for supporting our school.
Pie in the face for Pledges! APEX FUN!
