Every so often we like to blow our own horn. Who doesn't? And I wanted to quickly share these short reviews we recently received following a couple of programs in different locations.

A mere two weeks ago we announced our newest school assembly program, The STEM Museum. We must have touched a nerve. Already the tour for the 2013-2014 school year is experiencing overwhelming demand. In fact this awesome new school show is getting close to being sold out in the Midwest and East and West coast dates are close behind. Only a few dates remain available for Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and Illinois. In some states we have only one or no dates left at all.

And small wonder.

In case you have been living under a rock, the most important new initiative in education is the focus on STEM. No, this isn't about stem cells, or plants. S.T.E.M. Is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. A large majority of future careers are projected to fall within these four categories and the race is on to prepare our young people for an exciting new world.

Recently in these pages we have been developing a Guide to School Assemblies. Today we will begin looking at all the different types of shows that are available, starting with something fun, the entertainers.

Today was a pretty momentous day in history. What do you know about what happened on April 4 in past times? If you are like most Americans, the answer is probably not much. Which is sad. I know that many Americans think history is boring. We are so busy rushing headlong into the future, we find little time to think about what is past. But that is not only sad, it is tragic.
