Happy to Join the Disney Dolphins!
Hello parents and students! I'm very excited to be joining the Walt Disney team this year. My name is Lisa Duerksen and I'm one of our two assistants to the principal. I was a classroom teacher for many years and served as assistant to the principal last year at Meadow's Edge Elementary School. I've felt very welcomed by the staff, students, and families here at Walt Disney and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
