FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fayette County School Corporation Invites Families to Free Showing of Toy Story 5
The Fayette County School Corporation is excited to announce a special Free Movie Night for FCSC students, prospective students, and their families on Monday, June 29, at Showtime Cinemas in Connersville. Through a special partnership with Showtime Cinemas, FCSC has reserved the entire theater to provide families with the opportunity to enjoy Disney Pixar's newest film, Toy Story 5, at no cost.
The event will feature four showtimes: 5:30 p.m., 6:15 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are free and include admission to the movie, popcorn, and a 12-ounce drink. Attendance is limited, and tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until all seats are filled.
Each FCSC student or prospective student is eligible to receive up to three tickets. Accommodations for larger families may be arranged by contacting the corporation office.
While the evening is intended to be a fun celebration for families, Toy Story 5 also carries a message that resonates with Fayette County School Corporation's commitment to fostering meaningful learning experiences and healthy technology habits.
In the film, Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the toy gang find themselves facing a new challenge as children's attention increasingly shifts from traditional play toward screens and digital devices. The story explores the balance between technology and imagination, reminding us that creativity, personal interaction, and real-world experiences remain important parts of childhood.
"Technology is a valuable tool in education, but it should never replace the experiences that help children grow socially, emotionally, and creatively. At the Fayette County School Corporation, we are intentional about creating opportunities for students to collaborate, problem-solve, engage in hands-on learning, and build relationships. The message of Toy Story 5 reinforces the importance of balance and reminds us that imagination and human connection still matter," said Superintendent Jeremy Duncan.
FCSC has continued to evaluate and refine the role of technology in its schools, ensuring that devices support learning while preserving opportunities for discussion, creativity, movement, and meaningful engagement. The themes presented in Toy Story 5 provide a family-friendly opportunity to continue that conversation beyond the classroom.
