| Disability Awareness Workshop Fund |
The Disability Awareness Workshops have taken place in some Ann Arbor Public Schools fourth grade classrooms for the past few years as a result of the generosity of many volunteers, both individual and from other non-profit organizations. Contributions to this fund will allow AAPS to present the program in all fourth grade classrooms at times convenient for the schools and volunteers, not at the discretion of the rental program. The Educational Foundation is pleased to be able to support the development and growth of this fund and initiative. |
