Ms. Wheelchair Kansas |
The Ms. Wheelchair Kansas program is currently searching for women of achievement, who are wheelchair mobile, to serve as contestants in the Seventh Annual Ms. Wheelchair Kansas event. The 2011 event will take place on March 18-20 at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka. Applications must be postmarked by January 7, 2011.
This program is NOT a beauty contest, but rather a competition to select the most articulate, accomplished delegate to serve as a role model and spokesperson for people with disabilities in Kansas. www.mswheelchairkansas.org |
We'd Like Your Input |
Families Together Inc. is a partner in the Technical Assistance System Network also known as TASN. TASN is a coordinated system of technical assistance (TA) that is designed to improve Kansas special education data. The goal is to effectively support districts to improve student outcomes. As part of TASN, Families Together, Inc. is doing research to find resources that will be helpful to students and their parents. Families Together, Inc. needs your help in doing this. We have found many web sites that provide assistance in math and reading, but we need to know if these web sites are really helpful.
We would like for your child and family to try the web site out and then provide feedback and let us know what you think. Your input is very vital to this project. Thanks!
