Early 2006, this was one of Disney's biggest hypes! Released on the Disney Channel on January 20, 2006, High School Musical revolves around the two main characters, East High School students Troy Bolton (starred by Zac Efron), who's the captain of the East High Wildcats basketball team and Gabriella Montez, (Vanessa Hudgens), an academically gifted transfer student. They both audition for the lead role in the school's musical, causing divide among the school's cliques.
I was so into the boys back then and the whole Wildcats school spirit theming and of course of of the songs are stuck in my head until today.
Loved the fact there was a variety of dolls available - including the boys - throughout the initial and the two further movies that followed HSM1 and I also remember having a giant Wildcats flag, the singing Troy & Gabriella doll set by Mattel and the Yearbook that released for the 1st movie.
The items seen in this photo are what I have kept until today: The 2006 Mattel East High Wildcats School Spirit Chad Danforth doll and the 2008 Troy Bolton Graduation Day doll by the Disney Store, plus an East High Wildcats Troy Bolton basketball jersey.
My enthusiasm for HSM never really died completely despite I'm more than 2 decades past my teenage years. Hope to eventually be able to make a trip to Salt Lake City to tour the real East High School where the movies have been shot and I may certainly repurchase some of the dolls and the stock mascot costume that they used to portray Wiley the Wildcat, East High's mascot, who unfortunately had very little screentime, but was there at least!
What team? WILDCATS!
Cut down on your screen time to set a good example for others.
Children are more likely to imitate what they see rather than listen to what you say. That implies they will follow your lead if they see you binge-watching your favorite series. While watching your weekly shows may be a good method to de-stress, try not to do so with your children there — this sets a good example for them to emulate. Also, avoid leaving the TV on when no one is watching it or continually scrolling through your phone, as both of these activities can promote harmful habits in youngsters. Instead, try reading with your kids to engage them in developmental activities.
As parents ourselves, we believe that there is a need for play facilities that offer a wide range of play options for children other than inflatables and trampolines. Our goal was to create a play space in which children of different age groups can have fun together under 1 roof! There are few facilities that can meet the play needs of both a 2 year old and a 10 year old.
Introducing….Hyper Kidz! Our facility features soft foam play equipment with slow moving parts, a unique dress, and a fun theme. Hyper Kidz also has multiple party rooms to host children's birthdays as well as special events or celebrations for groups, camps, sports teams, field trips, and organizations.
We strongly believe in the power of play and its ability to develop and enhance children's social skills, critical and analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, fine and gross motor skills, and social etiquette. Hyper Kidz is the perfect option to reduce screentime and encourage active and physical play.
Our bright, soft, and visually open play area ensures children's safety, while challenging them to climb, run, think, interact, explore, chase their imaginations, and have fun. Hyper Kidz offers year-round, climate-controlled fun for children ages 0-13.
