PTA Sister School Thanksgiving Basket Drive
|
Thank you, Dragons, for your generosity this year through the donation of warm coats and books for our sister school, Fremont Elementary in Antioch. Now, we have the opportunity to ensure that 22 families have their Thanksgiving dinner provided for.
Please sign up to contribute items for Thanksgiving
that will be packed in a basket and given to families who could use some extra generosity at this time of the year. This is a great way to show our kids that a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone else’s life!

As you may have heard, we are revitalizing and reimagining the Walt Disney Garden into an Outdoor Learning Classroom! Our redesign includes weed management, smart irrigation, thoughtful plantings, and multiple learning spaces for all grades.
Please join us Saturday, November 16 for Demo Day!
We need all hands on deck to help get the weeds cleared out, the shed roof repaired, and it all hauled away! Please
sign up
and lend a hand. All levels of experience welcome but because of the nature of the job,
only parents and children age 8 and up should come as helpers.
Younger siblings are welcome to hang out on the playground. It’ll be fun and dirty!

Dear Walt Disney Families,
Thank you for your efforts to take advantage of your Employer’s Corporate Matching Programs.
However, if you have not done so, it is
not too late to submit a Corporate Match Request!
DOUBLE YOUR CONTRIBUTION!
It is very simple to submit your request and to begin the corporate match process. You have many options to begin the process:
- Go to Corporate Matching website on your employer’s intranet to begin the process. Remember to enter DESEF’s EIN number: 20-3046825, when submitting your match.
- Visit the Matching Gifts website and search to get all the details specific to your company.
- Contact your HR department.
You should be able to use the order receipt email from FutureFund as proof of your Annual Fund Drive payment.
When matching funds, please note that your DESEF contribution should not be
combined with your contributions to Walt Disney Elementary School or Walt Disney PTA. These organizations, which have different EINs than DESEF, require a separate request and match by certain employers.
Note: Corporate Match requests must be initiated by the employee. You may contact me if you have any additional questions.
Warm Regards,
|
