To Book a Program for Your School or Library
First, read through the website and decide which program you want. Keep in mind that all of our educationally significant programs promote reading and library use, and get the kids so excited about reading that they can’t wait to get to the library to check out the books we discuss. The Science shows, the Character Education programs, even the teen programs ALL promote reading! Sometimes media specialists call and say they want “the reading show.” The fact is that ALL my shows are reading shows!
Next, you need to decide how many assemblies you will need to get all the students in to see the program. Depending on how the set up at the school is, we can break the students into groups as large as 175 kids if they are sitting on the same level as the presenter (like a gym floor). Any more than this and the kids in the back feel that they can’t see and it is a constant battle to keep them seated. No one gets as much out of the program in these situations. If a differentiated performance area can be provided (such as a stage for the performer, OR risers or tiered seating like bleachers for the kids) then I can handle as many as 1,000 students at a time.

Now, decide on a date. Check our online calendar to see when we have open dates, or when we may already be in your area. I try to update the schedule every day, but I can’t guarantee the accuracy of the calendar at any given moment.
At this point, e-mail or call 770-315-3339 with your show choice, date, and number of assemblies needed, and we’ll get things rolling. If I am not able to answer the phone, leave a message and you will hear from me within 24 hours.
“You are awesome! Very professional – confirmed date and time, arrived ahead of the scheduled time, and the kids really loved it.”
After we book the assemblies (and any other schools in your area) we will e-mail a packet of information that includes a confirmation letter, invoice, promotional materials, a bibliography of the books used in the program, and a sheet outlining how you can get the most from our visit. What you will NOT get are surprises, difficult riders, or lengthy contracts with silly demands.
For years, it has been my goal to be the EASIEST school assembly performer you will ever bring to your school. Check out some of the testimonials on the website to see what other schools and libraries have had to say about the programs we offer and you’ll understand why so many schools invite me back, time after time.
