Bullying has been around as long as humans have worn shoes (and probably before), but it has recently come to light that this age-old problem is having a very real and very negative effect on our elementary school students. How many times have we heard about it? The smaller or weaker [...]
Now that the holidays are behind us and we’re all looking forward to having a great and prosperous (and healthy) New Year in 2012, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of those school who supported me and all of my school assembly programs during 2011. Having just come off of a fantastic [...]
For example, of course everyone knows what holiday the song JINGLE bells was written for…right? WRONG!! It was NOT written for Christmas! Jingle Bells written in the year 1896 was originally entitled One Horse Open Slieigh and was written to commemorate THANKSGIVING — not Christmas.
Don’t let the money you really don’t have, get in the way of buying the things that you really don’t need.
the recent anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, gave millions of Americans an opportunity to think about their country and how they fit in to its history. Growing up in the 60s was a very patriotic time. Elementary school-age children learn not only their ABC’s, but they learned [...]
you remember when you were a kid? And the weather forecast said it was going to be a huge snowstorm? What Was the first thing that came into your mind? No school? Playing outside? Sledding down the hill? As parents, our thoughts go elsewhere. We think about work, we think about not being able to [...]
This was me and Jay during our recent performance of Hairspray. I’m the one NOT wearing a dress. I just wanted to post this to show you that regardless of the weather conditions (it was about 90 degrees that night — which during the weekend we performed this show — outside — was frigid!) (sorry [...]
The presidential election is upon us… Not really. But all of this news from Ames Iowa is starting to make me crazy. The presidential election is not for almost 2 years but we are subject to the follies and foibles of the Republican presidential candidates on a daily basis. There is constant chatter about Michele [...]
Welcome back to another one of my video blogs on elementary assembly.com. This is a place where parents teachers and administrators can get tips on what’s happening and hot in schools around the country. Even though it still the middle of August, I’m getting calls every day for my extremely popular holiday school assembly program [...]
These fantastic school assemblies will thrill your students. The shows are musical and full of fun and participation. Featuring Parents Choice Award winner, David Jack, each show offers students the opportunity to learn without feeling like they\'re learning. High-energy and affordable shows are appropriate for use throughout your school year! Our programs include an exciting and experienced array of performances which are designed to engage and entertain students ranging in ages from kindergarten through middle school. Our Spirit of America show celebrates patriotism and the music associated with it. Today’s schools have made a departure from teaching kids about patriotism and the importance of patriotic music in American culture. This program inspires and instills patriotic values back into the classroom in the way it once was. Our standardized testing Hip Hop program is a one of a kind show. The first school assembly to integrate testing strategies with a subject matter that kids find fun and exciting. The Dr. Drill Boot Camp show is a unique blend of strategies for improving healthy habits with exercise, discipline and fun. It’s a fun, refreshing, and entertaining program presented by Dr. Drill, a retired United States Marine Captain with the skills to inspire and enlighten your kids. Our Christmahanukwanzamadan show has literally taken the country by storm and is by far, one of the most requested school assembly programs during the winter season. ElementaryAssembly.com is a leader in participation-based school assembly programs. The shows are universal and involve everyone in attendance (even teachers!). Our primary focus is on fun and energy in each and every show. Please take a moment to look through our site and contact us if there are any questions. References are available for all of shows. We look forward to hearing from you very soon for an entertaining assembly at your school!
