How to Hire an Entertainer for School Assemblies

Choosing an Entertainer or Speaker for a School Assembly is a difficult task. The following steps will help you make the correct choice.

Decide on the message you want to project, such as kindness, peace, teamwork, etc... Some topics, such as anti-bullying, have, in my opinion, been overdone.

Research Entertainers and Public Speakers for schools on the Internet.

Find the person you want for the assembly on your own. Do not use a Speaker’s Bureau or Booking Agent. Third Party Contracts are not always legal or binding and may have fees that will increase the cost for your school.
 
Ask the following questions. Does the Entertainer have Liability Insurance, a License (if needed), and Fingerprinted for the safety of the children? Verify this information.

Check out the person, what is their background and experience? Ask for a bio and verify the details.

Be sure to verify the character of the person you are bringing into the school to teach the students character.

Free Money for Schools!

Our PTA has become quite adept at seeking FREE MONEY for our students. The programs we use are:


BOXTOPS for Education We raised over $3,000 last year from this program.


Safeway takes part in the Escrip Program and with their 10% Back to School Program, we raised over $5000 last year.


Aside from Safeway, we recieved another $1000 from the Escrip program itself which includes sales from Amazon, Burger King, and a large listing of local small businesses who give us 2-10% of the purchase prices of those who are signed up for the Escrip program.


If you are doing your math, we raised $9000, probably closer to $10,000 last year in FREE MONEY for our PTA, meaning that our parents raised it purely by making the purchases they would make anyway!


Other programs include: Campbell's Soup Labels for Education Program, Company Matching Programs (we have raised several thousands of dollars from companies that our parents work for such as, Nike, Intel, Wells Fargo, McAfee, and more! See if your company matches donations!) Target RedCard Program (they have paid out a total of $273 Million since 1997!)


The PTA pays for "Extras" meaning, they pay for things that your school can not afford. Our purchases have included: All Field Trips, All Assembly Performances, a Track, Playground Equipment, "Teacher Checks" which help to reimburse what they buy for their classroom out of pocket, Books for the "Walk to Read" Program, an up to date Sound System for the Gym, a class set of laptops for our 5th graders, we will be replacing 15 computers in the computer lab this year. These are items that the School District would not/could not replace and was brought to the school by the PTA.


See how you can help your school raise FREE MONEY today! It's your child that you are helping!

How to Make Balloon Fairy Wings for Birthday Parties

HOW TO MAKE BALLOON FAIRY WINGS! 

Fairy wings are very popular with the girls at a party. The adults like them and some of the boys as well.


Using the balloon pump, inflate a balloon leaving about 4 inches un-inflated at the end. Remove the balloon from the pump carefully while pinching the end so no air escapes.


To tie off the balloon, use your other hand to pinch and then pull on the end to stretch it. Release the first hand and re-pinch the balloon a short distance away from the end. This action will give you enough room to tie off the balloon by making a loop and pushing the end through the loop and pulling it tight.


Put this balloon around the waist of the child and twist the ends together to hold it in place. Make sure the twisted ends are in back of the child.


Inflate another balloon and tie off the end. Now tie the ends of the balloon together to form a rough circle.


Now do the same with another balloon of the same color.


You now have two balloon circles of the same color. Tie them together tightly to form a figure eight.


Now form each balloon into a heart. To do this, take the middle of the side opposite the tie and form a fold that just fits into your hand. Squeeze your hand into a fist and hold it briefly. When you release your hand the circle will now be heart shaped. Do the same to the other balloon.


Take the completed wings and attach them to the balloon around the waist of the child. Do this by twisting the free ends of the waist balloon around the center of the wings.


Now you are done. Now tell them to fly away!

Being Kind

How to be Kind to Others

As our world has become fast paced, goal oriented and stressful, we may have forgotten how to be kind to others. This not only takes a toll on others but also us.


Be sympathetic to the needs of others first.


Put your needs second.


Take action, Think “What can I do that will help the person to achieve their goal.”


Do whatever it takes to further their cause.


Continue working in this direction so you can accomplish the task.


Feel good about yourself for you have not taken advantage of anyone and you have promoted another’s welfare.


Know that you have been an honest, caring person and can live at peace with yourself. Now you can sleep well.

Hanna teaches these ideas at schools!
