Students from Chippewa and West Ferris Secondary Schools departed for Disney World in Orlando, Florida today to experience a special learning opportunity. Submitted photo.
Marla Sunstrum, Music teacher at both schools, says she is happy to see the schools joining together in an educational partnership.
Dancers, musicians and business students from both schools have united to pursue their passion for the Arts, Culture and Business.
Dance and Music students will be performing a Disney tribute medley (Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast and Frozen) at the Waterside Stage at Downtown Disney and will be participating in Performing Arts workshops at Disney parks.
Business students will be learning about Walt Disney's visions and the business behind the scenes at the "Happiest Place on Earth" in their workshops and throughout the parks.
Andrea Lefebvre, Dance Educator at Chippewa says the teaching team cannot wait for students to realize that the subjects and content they learn on a daily basis at school reach far beyond the classroom walls. They look forward to making global connections for their students.
The teachers are excited to be able to witness the students demonstrate and enjoy their learning and make life long memories over the week long trip.
