Funded Mar 9, 2020It is with deepest regret that I have to inform you that due to the Covid-19 outbreak and school closures, Disney Musicals in Schools has made the difficult decision to cancel the program for this year, therefore our Lion King Cast will not be able to put on our production of Lion King Kids. Although we are devastated by this news, we find solace in the fact that we were able to bring a little bit of this experience to our students, even if it was for just a short period of time. Please know that your generosity has not gone unnoticed and will not be in vain. The materials purchased with your donations will be utilized to bring this experience to many more students to come. We will come back bigger and better next year, and it will all be because of you!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Disney Musicals in Schools and 22 other donors.Technology in Our Classroom
Funded Feb 14, 2019Thank you so much for your generosity in helping to get this project funded! In today's society, technology is such an important part of everyday life and having access and knowledge of technology is imperative! Technology can help to aid in learning in an interactive, fun and engaging way. And because of you, the possibilities are endless in the way technology can be used in our classroom!
The 6 tablets we received through this project have opened may doors to learning within our classroom. My students are more motivated and eager to learn! We are able to use the tablets to enhance and supplement topics that we are learning in all subjects, including reading, writing and math! We are also able to do research on topics that we want to learn more about. The tablets have not only provided academic aid, but also work as an incentive or reward for hard work within the classroom.
We thank you again for your generosity, as your donation will continue to provide a magnitude of possibilities for learning and growth within our classroom!”

Hands-On Interactive Math and Technology Project
Funded Dec 17, 2014Words cannot express how grateful Mrs. Rogers and I are for the generosity you have all shown to our class. Our students are truly amazing and they deserve every single opportunity that can be provided to them, and thanks to you, we have been able to do that. Your generous donations have allowed us to bring technology into the classroom that we otherwise would not have been able to do and it has made such an impact on their learning.
The new iPads and math program have really helped to engage the students and make them excited about learning. They look forward to their turn on the iPad and feel empowered when they are able to work at their own level. We have downloaded several apps that meet the needs of all the different students and this allows them to strengthen their skills all while having fun. Some students are able to work on reading comprehension, while others work on letter sounds and sentence structure. Other students are participating in an independent research project that they will present to the class. The math program keeps all the students engaged because they are able to have their own set of manipulatives and are all held responsible to find the correct answer. They love the excitement of getting to show their thinking and work on the Smartboard. The whole class becomes involved and encourages each other to succeed.
These materials have created a learning environment that is engaging for all within our classroom. Every student is given the opportunity to succeed and learn. We cannot thank you enough for your kindness. You have made an impact on the lives of not only our students now, but also all of our students to come. Your gift will continue to give for many years.”
