Dozens of Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) students from five elementary schools are preparing to take the stage to perform some of their favorite Disney musicals thanks to a grant-funded partnership with the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Disney Musicals in Schools.
This marks the third year that GGUSD schools have been selected to participate in the multi-year program which provides teaching artists the first year, as well as free materials, and licensing each year after.  Eisenhower and Hill elementary schools are in the third year of the program, Stanley and Allen elementary schools are in the second year and Riverdale Elementary School is kicking off its first year.
