Well, it is December 5 already, and Thanksgiving is over and the Christmas Holidays are rapidly approaching. We can all look forward to the manic disaster known as holiday shopping, replete with crabby shoppers, long lines, and screaming kids. Yay!

I was out of the office yesterday in the morning. I went over to Northwood Elementary School in Royal Oak, Michigan, because our program Stronger Than a Bully was performing there. Since Stronger Than a Bully started out on tour on the road this year, this was the first time I was to have an opportunity to catch a live presentation of this great new and important school show.
Now that Thanksgiving is over we begin that giddy, headlong rush toward the winter break and (for those who participate) the Christmas Holidays and New Years Eve. Seems hard to believe another year is winding down so quickly!
Mobile Ed Productions sends wonderful school assembly performers from Michigan (and a few other states) out on the road every year in August to begin touring to schools pretty much all over the country. It is a rambling, crazy way of life alternating between the exhilaration of performing great school shows in front of happy kids and teachers and the loneliness of empty hotel rooms and long miles on the road. Thanksgiving and other family oriented holidays, usually give us an opportunity to get home for a few well earned days with loved ones.
So it is that time again, and we are pleased to announce this month’s School Assembly Dog of the Month!
We like to share with you comments we receive from our clients regarding our performers. Today I have to tell you about Rojo! Rojo has been with us for many years and is one of our most dynamic performers. He is a multitalented performer and offers several different shows including Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglass, Young Authors Day, and The Magic of Science. But the program he has become best known and loved for right now is his wonderful turn as Inspector Iwannano, our stalwart defender of character development and the Pillars of Character!
Anyone who has kids will know this. Just before holidays they get excited. Gee... kind of an understatement there, huh? Ballistic might be a better word, or frenetic, animated, distracted ... you name it. But one thing is for sure, it is hard to get them to concentrate on school work. Whether it be summer vacation, fall break, winter break, Thanksgiving ... it doesn’t matter, they will still work themselves into a frenzy, and it is very frustrating trying to calm them down to accomplish regular school work during these times.
If you have read my articles much over the last year or so you will know I really like our Young Authors Day school assembly program and in particular the gentleman who created and still performs that show. His name is Toma the Mime. I just received another glowing, over the top review of his show and I wanted to share it with you.
