Join us WEDNESDAY for important information for our Walker Community: PTA Equity Project (PEP) Townhall Meeting

On October 21st, join parents and caregivers across District 65 in learning more about the ONE FUND initiative! The PTA Equity team will host an informative virtual townhall to share more details about this initiative and how it will support students across the district.

The PTA Equity Project (PEP) was founded in 2016 on the basis that all students and families in District 65 should have equitable access to the important enrichment and community-building opportunities that PTAs provide, regardless of the school they attend.

To access the virtual meeting on October 21 and learn more about PEP, please use this link: bit.ly/peptownhall

DATE & TIME CHANGE: This month we have to shift our monthly meeting. It will now be next Thursday (Oct. 22nd) at 8pm. We hope you can join us! We’ll be meeting on-line via Zoom.

The reason for the shift is the PTA Equity Project (PEP) Committee is holding a Town Hall on Wednesday (Oct. 21st) at 7pm to present the One Fund initiative to the District 65 community. If you are available, we strongly urge you to attend the town hall to learn about One Fund. We will be voting at our November Walker PTA meeting on if the Walker PTA community will participate in the initiative.
