Sister School Supply Drive |

School Supplies Needed!
Our sister school, Fremont Elementary located in Antioch, CA, could really use our help with providing its teachers with necessary school supplies. An Amazon wish list has been created to make giving super easy for everyone.
Please make sure to have the supplies delivered directly to the Gift Registry address on file for Fremont Elementary. You will see this as a shipping address option at checkout.
Please consider giving to this amazing group of teachers and students who just need a little extra help.
Questions? Contact Patty Feger, PTA Sister School Chair

Our annual fund drive is in its final days and we are very grateful for all the generous donations from our Walt Disney families. With your support we are hoping to raise the final $10,000 we need to reach our goal.
Your tax deductible donation can be made through our Online Store or by delivering a check made out to “DESEF” to the Walt Disney Elementary School Office.
Together we can reach this goal!
Thank you for supporting Walt Disney Elementary and for any questions please contact Elise August, DESEF President

Matching Funds Help DESEF Reach Fundraising Goals |
|
Matching Funds
Hello Disney Families,
Last year, the Disney Elementary School Education Foundation (DESEF) received more than $21,000 in corporate matching funds. Now, more than ever, to achieve our mission, we depend on the generous support of our community.
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees.
If you are not aware your company offers a matching program, you may simply contact your human resource department or search your company’s website for community giving.
The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF) also has a database of some companies that offer matching funds:
DESEF is a 501(c)(3) and is the primary fundraising organization at Walt Disney Elementary School (Tax ID# 20-3046825). For more information, please visit desef.wdparents.com.
We are so grateful for your generosity and hope you take great pride in the impact your gift makes for Walt Disney Elementary School.
