Help Mrs. Guzzi

Special students show just how special they are. At our school we embrace our differences and try to assist students in reaching their full potential. The production staff consists of mostly high school students, all with disabilities from LS to wheelchairs to Autism and everything in between. Our performers range in age from 5-21.

Last school year the students produced an 'America's Got Talent' type talent show for their peers and families. It was a huge success! We made everything and used flashlights and a karaoke machine to fulfill our school motto of 'Reach for the Stars'

Now that we have reached the stars, the students would like to travel into the next galaxy by producing a bigger and better "MVS Got Talent". To reach their goals the students need a small lighting system. With this equipment we will be able to shine the light on these very special students and guide their way to increased social skills and self-esteem. The smiles on their faces are an added bonus.

You can be a piece of the puzzle that embarks on a galactic adventure. Help us to embrace what makes us special and realize that we can each reach for the stars. Help our students learn the joy of success and the knowledge that we all have a special talent by placing them in the spotlight.
