DESEF is proud to fully fund the Meet the Masters program for our children at Walt Disney. Art education has been proven to help children learn creative problem-solving skills and allow students at all levels to be challenged.
Meet the Masters is a nationally recognized curriculum that helps students engage with classic works of art. Students attend assemblies where they learn about the fascinating lives and famous works of the Master Artists. Back in the classroom, students work on a mostly self-guided technique packet which will be the pencil-on-paper means for them to learn from the Masters.
Thank you for supporting DESEF and making these amazing experiences possible for every Walt Disney student.

PTA Sister School: Gently Used Book Drive 3/11- 3/15
|
At the spring book fair, we are asking our Walt Disney students to consider giving a gently used book to an under-resourced student at Fremont Elementary as they go in to pick a new one for themselves. Please make sure the book is in good shape with no crayon scribbles or torn pages and is grade school level appropriate.
Parents, this is a great opportunity to talk with your kids about how they have the ability to bring joy to another student's life that they will probably never meet. The collection box will be outside the Book Fair, which runs
March 11-15, 2019.
Bonus!
Keep your eyes peeled at the checkout counter for an All For Books collection jar. You can donate your change to be used towards purchasing new books for our Sister School, Fremont Elementary.

Get Your Thinking Caps On: PTA Science Fair
|
The Science Fair will take place in the MPR on Friday, April 19 from 6pm to 8pm
as a voluntary participation project for grades K-5, featuring original research and design projects developed by our very own students.
Students choose a topic to research using the scientific method. A project is presented both by oral report and poster presentation. Students can participate by themselves, or in teams up to 3 students. Students may present projects in the following categories: life science, physical science, earth & space science, environmental science, behavioral science, and engineering & design.
Please have your child think carefully about what they would like to do
before
registering. Changes to the project topic or team (if working in a group) cannot be made after the
registration deadline of April 1, 2019
.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We are also looking for parent volunteers for our committee to plan, judge, and provide other assistance. Please consider lending your time and energy to make this event a success.
Questions or interested in volunteering?

Pine Valley PTA Nominating Committee News
|
Do you have a student that will be attending Pine Valley next year?
Do you want to know
how to get involved
in middle school?
Pine Valley PTA is creating a slate of awesome volunteers for the
2019 – 2020 Executive Board and Committees, and...
WE NEED YOU!
If you are a little apprehensive, please rest assured that middle school PTA is quite different from what you may have experienced at the elementary school level. We have several smaller scale positions and committees to get things done, and meetings are held once a month in the evenings. This gives working parents or those who can't be on campus an opportunity to stay involved.
Are you good with numbers or a strong typist?
Want to help organize the Health and Wellness Fair, our Unity Through Diversity Fair, or maybe even help during WOW week?
We offer a
wide range
of available positions!
Our Slate will be presented at the
March 4th meeting
, followed by
Elections on April 8th
. Please reach out to our PTA Recording Secretary,
Elise O'Connell
, if you would like more information.
Thank you!

SRVEF Summer Imagineering
|
Help Us Spread the News! – SRVEF Summer Imagineering Early Bird Discount Ends on February 28, 2019!
Every summer SRVEF offers enrichment classes for SRVUSD students. Our longer summer classes allow us to offer more in-depth science, technology, engineering, art, and math curriculum to students entering 4th – 8th grade. Students are given daily challenges, connected to industry experts, introduced to engaging project-based learning activities, and encouraged to explore new STEAM topics. Our high school mentors also help us keep the ratios of leadership to students low for each class.
To learn more our summer enrichment camps and our high school mentor program, visit the
SRVEF website
