Fall Festival 2026 was a hit!
What a fantastic afternoon celebrating fall at Daniel Webster Elementary! Hundreds of students, families, and community members came together for our annual Fall Festival, transforming the school playground into a lively celebration of the season filled with fun, creativity, and community spirit.
There was something for every age and interest! From exciting games and hands-on activities to engaging educational experiences, the afternoon was packed with opportunities to explore, play, and connect. Our Sustainability Committee led an interactive composting station, while a Webster teacher challenged students at the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? station. Creative stations offered custom bag decorating, bracelet making, and beading, alongside activities generously hosted by parent-owned businesses, including Sensory Exploration with OT With Stacy, Hair Tinseling by Hudson Paul Salon, and an obstacle course by North End Fitness.
The creativity, talent, and generosity of our Webster families were on full display. Parents and grandparents stepped up to host activities and run stations, custom vending machines were 3D-printed, signs were lovingly hand-painted, and entire experiences were dreamed up around the unique talents and interests of our school community. So much of what made the afternoon special was created and contributed by Webster families themselves.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to our event chairs, Rose and Janine, for bringing this celebration together, and to every parent, grandparent, student volunteer, and friend of Webster who donated supplies, contributed their talents, ran a station, purchased tickets, or simply came out to enjoy the afternoon. Every contribution, large or small, helped make this event a success.
And finally, our sincere gratitude goes to more than 50 incredible community sponsors from New Rochelle, Pelham, Larchmont, and beyond whose generosity made this celebration possible. Our Double Platinum sponsors, Pappous & Yia Yia’s Greek Kouzina and Dave & Buster’s, enthusiastically joined the festivities, while Cestra’s Pizza 4, Greys Donuts, and Boba Vida contributed delicious treats. Parent-owned TOUCHD Medical Spa, Roc N Ramen, and so many other local businesses supported the festival through sponsored activities, monetary contributions, and in-kind donations.
We are incredibly fortunate to be part of such a generous and connected community. It is this spirit of generosity, creativity, and togetherness that makes Webster such a special place. Thank you for making this year's Fall Festival one to remember!
And another BIG thank you to all our Fall festival sponsors!
Hispanic Heritage Celebration
What an incredible evening celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at Daniel Webster Elementary! Around 175 students and families came together to enjoy salsa dancing, crafts, games, and delicious food like empanadas and custom tres leches. A huge thank you to event chairs Lucy Mota and Chandra LaNier, as well as all of our fantastic volunteers, for bringing our community together to honor these rich cultures and traditions!
Movie Night 2026
We kicked off the new school year with an unforgettable movie night under the stars on the playground! From fresh popcorn, pizza, and sweet treats to great friends and a fun film, it was the perfect way to welcome our students back—thank you so much to everyone who joined us and made the night so special!
