April 29th is our 3rd Annual Red Apple Run 5K and 1.5 Mile Walk to benefit Bartow Education Foundation.
Last year’s 5K was a success, and we raised around $16,000. The 5K and Walk will be held again at Hamilton Crossing Park with the Start and Finish Lines and Award Ceremony at Cass Middle School Track. We will have our school competition again this year, and your school could win $500. Most importantly, the money raised for this 5K and Walk goes directly to the Teacher Grants to reward innovation in the classroom.
Even if you do not plan to walk or run, you can still participate as a Ghost Runner and will receive the 2023 T-shirt. WES would like to encourage our parents and staff to participate in this event so our school can win $500! Make sure to fill out the School Affiliation line when you register online so your school wins:

The project achievement process is about hands on learning, self-confidence, and sharing knowledge.

Throughout their season, they were guided by the FIRST ® Core Values:

Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.

We are SO proud of them for working together, collaborating, and making this a "SUPERPOWERED" season! Congratulations!
