This is the coolest!! What a great way to connect with students and their beloved “Andy”. “Andy’s coming” was real life for these students! @Midland_ISD @DisneyStudios @Pixar

[Midland ISD @Midland_ISD]

Our Midland ISD students had a special opportunity to spend time with John Morris, the voice of Andy from Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story! 🎭🎬

Students from Midland High and Midland Lee High School took part in a Q&A with Morris before getting the chance to do a script read with him, bringing a little bit of Toy Story to life right here in Midland.

Thank you to the Midland Soup Kitchen for making this experience possible for our students! #ExpectExcellence #StudentExperience
