Anaheim Teachers Receive Surprise Tickets and Supplies from Disneyland
With the new school year on the horizon, Disneyland Resort is celebrating its 70th anniversary by giving back to those who shape the future: Anaheim teachers.
To help local educators prepare for the year ahead, Disneyland cast members donated and collected over 68,000 school supplies for elementary schools in Anaheim, providing valuable resources to help make dreams come true in the classroom.
The annual Back-to-School Supply Drive at Disneyland Resort brings cast members across The Happiest Place on Earth together to collect and sort thousands of materials for local students and teachers — including colored pencils, crayons, pencils, notebooks and more.
This year marks the most amount of school supplies ever donated to Orange Grove Elementary School as part of this annual campaign.
Before the first day of school, Disney VoluntEARS arrived to distribute the supplies but had even more magic in store.
During a staff meeting, Disney Ambassador Raul Aquino Rojas and Mickey Mouse surprised over 100 teachers and faculty at Orange Grove Elementary School, thanking them for their dedication and hard work before inviting them to enjoy the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration with complimentary tickets for themselves and a guest.
Disneyland Resort is proud to continue supporting Orange Grove Elementary School, a time-honored relationship nearly 20 years old. In addition to the annual Back-to-School Supply Drive, the resort also partners with the school for the HOLA Readers program – a 12-week annual program that encourages young minds to succeed through dedicated story time with Disney VoluntEARS, Disney Career Days and Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
“Getting all these supplies and getting the support of Disney for our school community is so exciting,” said Lauren Hastings, a sixth-grade teacher at Orange Grove Elementary School. “We are full of gratitude, and we are so blessed to receive this support from Disney VoluntEARS.”
