EVERYBODY COUNTS COMMITTEE:  Everybody Counts Week is coming Nov 14-18!!   Everybody Counts is a program designed to teach children about various disabilities and how children with these challenges cope with them.  The goal is understanding; to help everyone look for the person behind the disability and to create a climate in which we all feel at ease with our differences.  Each presentation will provide the children with an opportunity to experience what it would be like to cope with a disability.  Would you like the opportunity to lead your child’s class in this experience?  A script will be provided and there are typically 4-5 volunteers who share each presentation.  We are in need of volunteers for Kindergarten – Eisenhuth, 3rd Grade Schlickman/Taylor/Knutson class.  Please contact Kristina Dreyer (kristinadreyer@yahoo.com) or click on the following link to be added to the volunteer list: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/20f0b49acac2faafc1-everybody
