Disney Dreamer and Doer

Who are the Disney Dreamers and Doers?
“They are the curious ones who become involved in their investigations. Their confidence shows a strong sense of self worth, and they display a great deal of courage in pursuing their objectives regardless of adversity. They are the loyal and steadfast whose constancy underscores their strength of character. Disney Dreamers and Doers are the students who give 110% to every effort they undertake.”

How is Wekiva’s Dreamer and Doer selected?
Each year Walt Disney World invites schools to select a Disney Dreamer and Doer. Wekiva invites 5th grade students to tell how they demonstrate Walt Disney’s Four C’s _ Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy. Students complete an application form listing their school activities and activities outside of school (such as sports, music, theater, dance, visual arts, scouting, church, synagogue, mosque, community volunteer work, etc.) and write a one page essay describing why he or she would be a good representative of Wekiva Elementary for the Disney Dreamer and Doer recognition. Finalists are selected from the applications and essays and interviewed by the administration.
