X5594: Disney - A History in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
This is a repeat of the same class from Spark 2011: Come learn about the work of an American icon – Walter Elias Disney. From his start as a cartoonist to the legacy he left behind in his movies, theme parks, and Fortune 100 company, Disney makes the dreams of millions come true every day. Learn about the man, the mouse, and the vision, starting in 1901 with Walt’s birth, all the way up to the present day, with the company’s newest ventures. We will view movie clips from company history and photos from the parks, and questions are encouraged - I will do my best to answer whatever you ask. At the end, we’ll talk about why Disney is one of the toughest, but best companies to work for, even for teenagers… You’d be Goofy to miss this!


H5595: EPCOT - The Vision and the Reality in Spark! 2012 (Mar. 10, 2012)
Did you know that Epcot, the theme park at Walt Disney World, wasn't always going to be a theme park? It was originally going to be a model community, complete with a monorail, glass dome enclosing the central city, and constant technological advancements. Come learn how the park we know today grew out of these original ideas, and how some of the plans went into other projects around the world. This class has a minor overlap in material with "Disney - A History."


A4539: Scrapbooking - Pretty, Pretty Paper in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
Ever wanted to make a scrapbook? Or, have you scrapbooked before and want to take a class to try some new things? Join me in making at least two layouts (pages), trying out some cool tools (ever heard of a Cuttlebug?), and using a whole bunch of embellishments (stickers, rhinestones, flowers, whatever you can fit on a 12x12 piece of paper!) Oh, and you may learn some scrapbooking lingo along the way… This class is for anyone who has any interest in scrapbooking, no experience necessary. Photos, if you want to bring them, are welcome, but not necessary. All supplies will be provided, and students will be sent home with at least two completed pages, as well as a few surprise gifts for making more pages at home!


X4540: Disney - A History in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
Come learn about the work of an American icon – Walter Elias Disney. From his start as a cartoonist to the legacy he left behind in his movies, theme parks, and Fortune 100 company, Disney makes the dreams of millions come true every day.

We will view rare movie clips from company history and photos from the parks, and questions are encouraged - I will do my best to answer whatever you ask. At the end, we’ll talk about why Disney is one of the toughest, but best companies to work for, even for teenagers… You’d be Goofy to miss this!
