Kids love animals! No escaping that one. A visit to the zoo is a beloved experience for all kids. And it's a great part of their education, too.

OK, this is purely fatherly pride. This has nothing to do with school assemblies or science assembly programs, but only with a dad and a daughter and a father's pride. Mea culpa. It's my daughter. Guilty as charged!

Last week we announced our three new school assemblies for 2011-2012 and bookings are coming in very quickly. 

Just a quick one today! We have written before about Rojo and what a great school assembly performer he is. Well, it seems like every time he visits a school we get another batch of letters in the mail from kids at that school that just loved his show!

We have written before about the importance of science in the education of our children in order for the United States to remain a world leader in the future. We have also referenced before the interest and enthusiasm of President Obama for encouraging an interest in science among our youth. Yesterday, the President took time off from a busy schedule in New York to pay a visit to a New York City science fair.

Once again a science assembly from Mobile Ed is in the news! Robert Pirtle, noted for his great school assemblies through out the Midwest and in Texas, is currently out East and making headline stories! His super science assembly The Magic of Science was recently in Utica, New York at Martin Luther King Elementary. Reporters from WKTV were there to cover the story.

We recently announced the beginning of school assembly scheduling for the 2011-2012 school year. For our client schools in the great state of Texas, and for all the other fine schools there who have not yet tried one of our awesome school assemblies, here is some fantastic news!

Every year Mobile Ed tries to introduce new school assemblies for our client schools, either in the form of a totally brand new program or as a newly refurbished school assembly. And every year we have some clients who are disappointed when we withdraw from circulation an older school assembly program to make way for the new. But we also have many clients always asking for something new, and school assemblies do grow old with use. Sometimes they just need to be taken off the road for a season and freshened up a little.

I have written several times in the past about one of our great school assembly performers Dave Mitchell. He presents our wonderful Ben Franklin school assembly as well as school assemblies on Math and Reading. Well, Dave is hard at work on a brand new program for next year, and yet found himself growing pensive about how and why we do the school assemblies that we do. He jotted down a few thoughts recently, and I thought I would share them with you.
