What to expect

The Dysart Special Education PTSA is pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Walk n’ Roll for Inclusion event, which will be held on Sunday, April 14th from Noon – 3pm. The Walk n’ Roll for Inclusion is a free family event open to the public with the goal of bringing together people of all abilities for a fun afternoon of games, exhibitors, silent auction, makers market, and food trucks. Through an awareness walk and inclusive practices poster fair, we aspire to enhance awareness of accessibility and inclusive practices.

Proceeds from this event will contribute to our Accessible Playgrounds Initiative, specifically aiding our district in outfitting every school playground with pour-in-place accessible surfacing over the next few years. Our ultimate aim is to eliminate wood chips from all playgrounds, ensuring inclusivity for all children.

Food Trucks:

Let’s Taco ’bout Us, Mad Aloha Bowls, TT Dogs and TikiAZ

Silent Auction will open on April 7th.
