Reviews
"We enjoyed having your character program at our school. We'd love to have you
come back next year!"
— Maria Ramirez, Portola School, Livermore, CA
"One of the aspects of your assembly that was especially wonderful was the
way in which you involved all of the children. Even the 4th and 5th grade boys were singing along and
doing the sign language. One of our most "sports oriented" fifth grade boys even volunteered to help
you by leading the hand motions for one of the songs! He was smiling from ear to ear, moving to the
rhythm of the music and really enjoying himself. Thanks so much for your inspiration on such an
important topic as the character pillars."

This interactive assembly complements the school's character education program. Character traits

program also addresses respect for ourselves, our friendships and the world around us.
American Folk Songs Folk Songs are songs of the people, passed from one to the
other, sometimes changing along the way. In this fun and lively participatory presentation children
have the opportunity to hear songs that are an important part of the American tapestry and folk
culture. The songs are memorable and fun for the children to sing along on and some even have the
opportunity to come on stage and play spoons, washboard, tambourine and a fascinating variety of
percussion instruments. Songs are accompanied by authentic American folk instruments such as banjo,
guitar, washboard and spoons. A song in American Sign Language included.
