A Positive Parent Learning Experience

     The A.P.P.L.E.S. were formed in 1985 in response to a need for parent involvement at Mt. Carmel School.  The monthly meetings provide an opportunity to learn about school activities and plans, and establish or promote new ideas.  Your input will help provide insight for the principal and staff as to the needs of the students and community.

     No dues are required.  All funds generated through fundraisers, donations, etc. will be used solely for school related purposes, including programs, awards, equipment, gifts for students and staff.

     A.P.P.L.E.S. also organizes the headroom parent program each year.  A form will be sent home if you would like to help.

     The major fundraisers that make up the A.P.P.L.E.S. budget are the magazine drive at the beginning of the school year and the carnival which is held in the spring.

     The A.P.P.L.E.S. also participates in the Bigg's receipt program, Campbell Labels for Education and General Mills Box Tops collection.  A.P.P.L.E.S. collects Bigg's receipts and earns a percentage of the total of the receipts.  The Labels and Box Tops earns the school free merchandise.  Please submit these items to your child's teacher.

      If you are new to Mt. Carmel School or have never attended an A.P.P.L.E.S. meeting, please come and help make this a banner year.  Everyone is invited, everyone is welcome!!
