A Goofy Surprise
During the visits, students enjoyed a playful preview of some of the kid-friendly fun families can experience during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER at Walt Disney World. Goofy and the Goof Troop made special appearances, leading kindergarten and pre-kindergarten students through activities inspired by the energetic experiences that can be found at GoofyCore at EPCOT this summer.
Making an Impact on Education
In addition to the school visits, the $1.3 million investment supports education programs across Orange, Osceola, Lake, Polk and Seminole counties, benefiting all five public school districts while also strengthening nonprofit and arts education partners that serve students throughout the region.
The contribution helps expand access to STEM, literacy and arts education programs, creating meaningful learning opportunities for students across the region. “We are grateful to Disney for their ongoing support of education in our community, for investing in our teachers at Engelwood Elementary, and for creating moments that spark imagination and celebrate the work in our classrooms,” said Orange County Public Schools Superintendent Maria Vazquez. “Opportunities like this encourage our students to dream big and remind our teachers that their impact reaches far beyond the classroom.”
