With the first rain of the season hitting this past weekend, fall has announced its arrival. Thank you to all of the Walt Disney families who participated in Primo's Run. We had an incredible showing, coming in second out of all district elementary schools with over 40% of families participating. With fall comes a flurry of activities that are just around the corner. Our PTA has worked extremely hard to build its membership this year and has added a few very positive events for the 2010-2011 school year.
While most of PTA's events are designed to build community and create a positive environment for our students and families, we do also have to raise funds in order to conduct the myriad of other programs. PTA is organizing our first annual walk-a-thon, scheduled for Friday, October 29. The walk-a-thon event will cap off Red Ribbon Week, a week about making healthy choices. It is our hope that the entire Walt Disney Elementary community will support our walk-a-thon so PTA can raise enough funds to support other programs that inject art, character education, and community building into our school environment.
Please download and read a letter from our PTA President, Trish Baer, and the walk-a-thon chairperson, Matt Macedo. To download, click here. Thank you for supporting Walt Disney and the staff and I look forward to seeing you and your children on October 29 at the walk-a-thon.
In our ongoing Walk, Bike, Bus Challenge sponsored by our PTA and Street Smarts, it isn't too late to sign your children up and log trips to school either by walking, biking, or taking the school bus. The winning class wins an extra recess complete with activities facilitated by the Street Smarts staff plus the teacher receives a $50 gift card to Target for school supplies. The update for the challenge are as follows:
Top 5 Classroom Leaders
1. Tayeb - 94 trips
2. Blair - 77 trips
3. Hansen - 66 trips
4. Thelen - 65 trips
5. Hughes - 63 trips
The challenge goes through November 12.
Sincerely,
Joe Nguyen
Principal
