So Thanksgiving is over and that only means one thing here in Michigan and Ohio and the rest of the Midwest. Winter is coming and it’s right around the corner! 
As the school year hurtles toward the Christmas/New Years break, everything is moving so quickly that it is easy to forget that right after New Years begins the dark months of winter here in the midwest, when frequent bad weather often keeps students shut inside for days, weeks and even months. It can often be hard to keep up the enthusiasm during these bleak days.
A perfect remedy for the winter blahs is to host a school assembly program! January features martin Luther King’s birthday, while February is of course both Presidents Month and Black History Month. January and February are thus perfect times for programs about either George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, or about 
Martin Luther King, or any one of the other many fine leaders from Black History.
I mean, how better to cure "cabin fever" than from a visit by someone who grew up in a cabin? (ooh... that was really bad!)
Keep in mind though that dates are always limited so if you have not yet scheduled something for the winter you may have to choose from remaining open dates. Don’t hesitate much longer though as January is right around the corner!
Also, when scheduling a winter program be sure to check on the company policy for weather days. You should not be held responsible for paying for a program your school could not have due to a snow day. Reputable companies will not charge for weather cancellations, so be sure to check before scheduling!
