Every day of the school year, from early September through late June, our wonderful school assembly presenters are working in schools and bringing knowledge and fun to kids all over the country. Performing school assemblies in Ohio one week and in Kentucky the next, or doing school shows in New Jersey today and Pennsylvania the next, and then on to Texas or California, our guys (and girls!) travel the country like educational troubadours. It is a grinding way of life, and not for the weak or fragile.

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.

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!

We spoke not too long ago about how well school assemblies and science assemblies work for Scout events. At the time we referenced in particular how great science assemblies like our Chemistry program are for the entertainment portion of Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquets. All very true! Cub Scouts and science assemblies make a perfect match.

Last week the Space Shuttle Discovery made its final launch into space. I came across this incredible video showing the launch, not from the ground as we are accustomed to viewing it, but rather from the vantage of a high altitude aircraft. Have a look for yourself....

There is an old Chinese curse that says “May you live in interesting times!” Well if that is a true curse then we are really cursed these days!

School Assemblies play every day of the school year, so on any given day we have performers all over the country performing school shows.

Mobile Ed has been producing school assemblies for 31 years. In that time we have done school assemblies in schools all over the country. But we have also performed in many other settings. Libraries, Senior Citizen facilities, and Cub Scout events are common for us. We have also had performers doing school assemblies in museums and sometimes at private corporate events. And we have even been to jail!

We wrote recently about Dave Mitchell and his school assembly swing through Texas with his Ben Franklin school show. What we failed to mention is that Dave also carries a really great  school assembly about Math called Imathimation. From what we can tell our Texas schools loved this assembly program!
