Well it hardly feels like Spring just yet here in chilly Michigan, but it is March, and, for us here at Mobile Ed Productions, March means but one thing. March is when we start all over again planning for the coming year.
So you suddenly find yourself in the position of needing a school assembly. Oh, no! What do you do?
School assembly audiences across the Midwest and on the East Coast are likely familiar with a great school assembly performer from Mobile Ed Productions named Robert Pirtle. Robert comes to us from Memphis, Tennessee and is a multitalented individual who offers schools a variety of school assemblies including Bodyworks (a program on human anatomy), The Magic of Science, Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglas. However, Robert is also a very skilled mime and carries our two mime based programs Young Authors Day (Creative Writing) as well as Mime Time a simple exploration of the entertainment and cultural arts wonders inherent in the practice of classical mime.
Just a teaser here... Mobile Ed Productions will be making a great announcement in the next few days very relevant to the world of Midwest school assemblies and science assemblies. Stay tuned for details!
In the world of science assemblies, Jon Oliver is probably the most hardworking performer around! Operating primarily in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, Jon also travels periodically to the east Coast to perform his school science shows. He covers a lot of miles every year shuttling back and forth.
School assemblies today? Forget it! The weatherman promised an inch of snow last night for South East Michigan schools, but he was wrong. Michigan schools in the lower peninsula awoke this morning to as much as a foot of snow. A foot of snow! It was over the bumper of my car! Now, being that today is Presidents Day, many schools are closed anyway, but some were scheduled to be open. Not anymore! Ohio schools, Michigan schools, Indiana schools ... schools from Texas to Pennsylvania are all closed today!
School assemblies are great for putting into a palatable and entertaining form current issues that kids need to know about. In Ohio and Indiana, some of our schools are doing just that!
As a parent myself I can tell you that issues of character are vitally important in developing the citizens of tomorrow. Ever try raising a teenage boy? Enough said.
I had to throw in a word today about Thomas Edison, his birthday and the relevance of school assemblies.
With all the bad weather plaguing schools in the Midwest and on the East Coast, and the havoc that has played with school assemblies in schools in Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and all up and down the coast, I thought I might share some photos to make everyone feel a little better.
