My Students

Our amazing 3rd graders were given an awesome opportunity to participate in the Disney Musicals in Schools program this year! They are SO excited to ​go through the whole process of putting on a musical!

Our students are enthusiastic and talented and these supplies will help them be their very best!

This is a great opportunity not only for these 27 students but also for all students of our school! Our goal, along with Disney Musicals in Schools, is to create a sustainable musical theatre program for all students to learn from and enjoy!

My Project

Our students are constantly immersed in putting on shows. This year we are SO lucky to be a part of the Disney Musicals in Schools Grant. Through this program, our 3rd graders will be putting on The Lion King Kids this spring.

Our students have been working so hard to prepare for this performance and these items will help our students be seen and heard!

The rechargeable​ battery packs will ensure that our microphones are ready to go each performance so our students can be heard. The color printer and ink will help us produce beautiful promotional materials and programs so the students see themselves...in living color!
