Disney’s Stitch Brings Magic to Central Florida Teachers

Stitch recently embarked on a surprise tour across Central Florida, bringing some end-of-year magic to well-deserving teachers. He popped in on educators at Hamilton Elementary, Deerwood Elementary, College Park Middle, Tavares Middle, and North Lakeland Elementary as they were tidying up their classrooms for the summer break. Beyond his playful mischief, Stitch also brought a fantastic gift: free Walt Disney World park tickets for the teachers at each of these schools.
“This means the world,” said Adam Cody, a Deerwood Elementary School teacher. “It’s amazing to get the recognition from our district and Disney. There really are no words to describe how special it makes us feel.”
But the generosity didn’t stop there. Walt Disney World announced a significant $500,000 donation aimed at bolstering local education programs. This substantial contribution will benefit The Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, The School District of Osceola County, Lake County Schools Foundation, Polk County Schools Foundation, and Seminole County Schools Foundation. Additionally, four organizations dedicated to youth development will receive support: Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Orlando Philharmonic, ELEVATE Orlando, and A Gift for Teaching. And as an extra special treat, Disney Imagination Campus extended an exclusive invitation to teachers and administrators from each school district for a unique day of Disney fun, offering them the chance to draw inspiration from EPCOT’s living laboratory to enrich their classrooms.
“We’re thrilled that Disney is making such a considerable donation to our education foundation,” said Fred Heid, Superintendent of Polk County Public Schools. “It’s exciting for me as the superintendent to be able to afford new opportunities for our students.”
