Matching Funds Goal Reached!
Congratulations to all of our generous donors at Walt Disney Elementary and all of their generous employers!

We recently flew past our budgeted goal of $15,000 in matching funds. Thank you very much for following through with your companies to help all of our children.

Remember that donations throughout the year can be matched as well, included purchases made in the Auction that are over fair market value.

Questions? Contact Ashie Bhandiwad , DESEF Matching Funds Chair
WORDS MATTER WEEK: February 4 – 8, 2019
During Words Matter Week , February 4 – 8, 2019, we focus on the power that words can have in making others feel good about themselves or bring others down. The hope is that an ongoing dialogue inspires students, staff, and parents to be mindful of the words they choose in day-to-day conversations all year long .

Here at Walt Disney, our theme is: FINDING KINDNESS !
Where do you find kindness?
Through a series of fun, thoughtful activities, we will see that kindness truly can be found everywhere !


Join us WEDNESDAY, February 6 at drop-off for
THE KINDNESS TUNNEL.
Parents are invited to join staff and community members in welcoming our students to school. The kids love it!

Questions? Contact Julie Blinston or Liz Harkin , Inclusion/Diversity Chairs
