School Assembly Reviews - Mike and “The Earth Balloon”

Written by Geoff Beauchamp | Mon, Nov 14, 2011

Mike Carrell has been performing school assemblies for Mobile ed for a long time. For many seasons he was resident on the East Coast, delivering wonderful presentations of our high-tech school show Lights Camera Action to grateful and happy schools in New York, New Jersey and other parts East.

Mike has also made several trips to the West Coast for us over the years, performing his school assembly programs in California, Arizona and new mexico along the way.

This year Mike is in the middle of the country, and he is working harder than ever, now presenting three different school assemblies. He still offers his wonderful Lights Camera Action, but he has added to his repertoire with The Earth Dome (Earth Balloon) and with Sky Dome Planetarium.

He recently toured through Texas, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri, before heading back to the Midwest. This week he is in the area around Chicago, Illinois. He appeared recently at Sauganash Elementary in Chicago and apparently he is still pleasing schools for all he is worth! Here is a comment we just received from Cynthia Greco, the assemblies coordinator at Sauganash: 

“Mike was fantastic with all the kids.

He started with the 8th grade class and had them answering questions and interacting in no time at all.   He kept his momentum up all day, varying his presentation and questions to match the class he was with at the time.

The dome (Earth Balloon) was very educational, especially since this area has been eliminated from standard testing.

Thanks again for working with us to bring this to our school.

Please let Mike know that he made the day very enjoyable for all. He is an asset to your business.”

Thanks, Cynthia! We are glad everyone liked this awesome school assembly!

And that’s Mike, all right! He is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, easy going and affable, and yet totally dedicated to doing a great job at every school he visits.

If you would like to have Mike come and visit you, you had better act quickly as his schedule for this year is getting very full and in fact his tour is close to being sold out! The same is true for most of the presenters carrying The Earth Dome (Earth Balloon) and The Sky Dome portable planetarium. Few dates remain open regardless of area, so if you are still planning on hosting one of these shows this school year please get in touch soon!
