Plum Borough School District announces that Nathan Pfeiffer, a teacher at Holiday Park Elementary School, has been selected by Disney Imagination Campus as one of 50 inspiring teachers from across the nation who will be the guests of honor for a celebration of America’s education heroes.
The event will take place during Memorial Day weekend at Walt Disney World Resort to coincide with its 50th-anniversary celebration.
When they arrive at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida during Memorial Day Weekend, the 50 elementary, middle and high school teachers will be treated to special entertainment experiences in the parks, a celebratory parade at Magic Kingdom Park and sessions led by Disney leaders, Disney Imagineers and a Broadway performer.
The teachers, who come from 32 states, were selected from more than 5,800 written applications that centered on the creativity and imagination each demonstrates in the classrooms on a regular basis. All of them have positively impacted the lives of their students and, in some cases, changed the trajectory of their futures.
“These teachers and so many others are really next-level educators,” said Charles Thomas, director of Disney Imagination Campus. “They are supercharging the imaginations of young minds every day in ways that are driving their career ambitions in directions that they probably never thought were possible.”
Disney Imagination Campus provides a reimagined line of educational experiences for visiting student groups that harnesses Disney franchises and includes a collection of interactive workshops, performances and special events centered around subjects such as performing arts, science and technology, arts and humanities, and leadership and innovation. The curriculum takes place at Walt Disney World Resort and at Disneyland Resort in California.
