Everybody Counts - Volunteers Needed
The 'Everybody Counts' program needs your help. All we need is just 45 minutes of your time, to present the written material and activity about disability awareness. It is super simple. Our school is at risk of losing this wonderful program without your help. Helping children understand disabilities and helping them to see the person and not the disability, is a gift that can last a lifetime. Inclusion and acceptance, is what every parent wants for their child. Please consider signing up to make a positive difference in this world.

What: needs 2-3 volunteers per classroom to help present lessons on various disabilities
When: next week, February 1st – 5th. Click here to see when your child’s classroom presentation is scheduled and to sign up.
