Our Holiday Giving Campaign will launch this week. This is an opportunity for you to show your gratitude to our amazing staff members. Things have changed a bit, and we will not be offering parents the opportunity to purchase points — watch your inbox for details about the new plan.
Do you have a newer-model iPhone that you no longer need? Is it laying around, collecting dust? If so, you might consider donating it to our Foundation! The APEF Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), is in search of a used Sprint or unlocked iPhone. All cash and in-kind donations made to APEF are tax deductible. Please email me if you’re able to help.
Have you added American Preparatory Education as your preferred Amazon charity? Those funds are extremely valuable to us and our APA families.
