Our Learning Project:
This year, we would like to incorporate a study of the Broadway musical The Lion King into many subjects including writing, literacy, social studies, and math. As a culminating activity, we plan to attend a matinee performance of The Lion King at the Des Moines Civic Center and meet a cast member for a talkback.
This is an extension of our award winning third grade Pen Pal in Arts Program created in 2007 where Broadway actor Hayley Podschun has generously given her time to teach the students about living in New York City and working in the fine arts.
How You Can Help:
We are searching for businesses or individuals who believe integrating the fine arts is a priority and would like to sponsor a student by donating $60 toward the purchase of a ticket. In return, your sponsored student will involve you in what we are learning by sending you at least two personal letters throughout the school year and a note of thanks after the trip. We can do this!
If you would like to sponsor a student, please print and fill out the sponsor form below and send it to our school address. In order to ensure ticket availability, we will be accepting donations through November 8th or until we have 18 sponsored tickets.
