Join the All Abilities Committee!

Whether your child is typically developed, special needs or gifted, we all want the same thing, to be included.  All schools in D64 have adopted what is being called the All Abilities Committee. The goal and mission of this group is to serve under the umbrella of our PTO and to make all PTO events and activities accessible to all kids and bring awareness to the many ways that make us all unique.  We are in the brainstorm stage but would love any parent to join that has a heart for all kids and wants to see every child find a safe place within our events and activities.  Anyone interested should email Aimee Milhizer at milhizer5@gmail.com
​
Just a reminder that we also have the below open positions for these committees too:
  • Red Ribbon Week - this is an easy way for any parent to get involved, working or stay at home.
  • Book Fair committee member (held in Fall),
  • Family Outing Event (held in Spring),
  • Girls on the Run (early Spring - we are in need of two co-chairs to run this),
  • Junior Great Books (2 co-chairs),
  • Safety Representatives co-chairs and members,
  • Snowball committee member,
  • Volleyball committee member,
  • and Yearbook committee member (this is an awesome opportunity to score a front row seat to the Holiday Sing!).
Please contact us at carpenterptopres@gmail.com if interested in above posititions. Click here for committee descriptions.
