The National PTA's Reflections Program |
|
Explore The Arts and Express Yourself
Our school is currently participating in the 2020-2021 National PTA’s Reflections Art Program. Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
The theme for the 2020-2021 program year is I Matter Because.... Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
This year, all entry submissions will be done electronically. Entry submission deadline is October 16th.
Questions? Contact Karen Torres, Reflections Program Coordinator

The Annual Fund Drive is Coming to an End
Dear Walt Disney Families,
We are still $28,000 short of our $90,000 goal for the Annual Fund Drive! This is a very significant gap. We truly need your donations to fund programs this year and next year. This gap in funds will affect what positions and programs we can fund and will impact all students at Walt Disney.
The Annual Drive is ending on Sept. 18th. We humbly ask that if you are a family that is able to donate, that you please do so as soon as possible. Any amount that you can give will help.
Your tax-deductible donation can be made today through our Online Store, or by delivering a check made out to DESEF and mailed to the DESEF P.O. BOX 1981, San Ramon, CA 94583.
Your donations could mean the difference between continuing one of our great programs and being forced to eliminate one or more.
Thank you to all who have already donated and for supporting Walt Disney Elementary.

This will be an opportunity to hear from ALL of the candidates for School Board. We are a unified school district and, as such, the Council has an interest in making sure that, although we are now electing school board members by trustee-areas, we remain committed to a Board of Education where all five members speak on behalf of what is best for all students in the District, regardless of their geographic location.
