When it comes to student enrichment, PTAs (Parent-Teacher Associations) play a crucial role. These associations help provide students with experiential learning opportunities such as field trips, community events, and school assemblies. Educational activities that take students outside of the classroom help punctuate their learning as well as their overall motivation.

But selecting the right experience for your students that also fits your budget can be tricky. School assemblies are not only a cost-effective option for your PTA, but they also offer a variety of curriculum-based programs to choose from. Continue reading to discover the benefits of hosting a school assembly for your students.

School Assemblies Are...

• • Educational and Entertaining. In today’s world full of screens and short-form content, it can be tough to capture a child’s attention. School assemblies are designed to educate through entertainment, transforming lesson plans into engaging experiences that spark curiosity and motivate students to learn. These programs use state-of-the-art technology, audience participation, and thrilling demonstrations to battle boredom and show students just how fun learning can be. For example, it's one thing to learn about geography using maps and a simple globe, but a giant inflatable Earth helps students better understand the scale of the planet and leaves a lasting impression.
    
    
  • A Field Trip Without the Hassle. With prices on the rise across the board, field trips can be costly and overwhelming. School assemblies are a convenient alternative, providing the same educational value without the logistical challenges of coordinating travel, chaperones, and collecting permission slips. Although students remain on campus, assembly programs can transform familiar surroundings into novel learning environments, such as a traveling hands-on science museum or a mobile planetarium. Because our presenter travels to your school, our assemblies have a minimal impact on students’ overall workday, leaving plenty of time for standard classroom lessons that might otherwise be impacted by travel.
    
    
  • A Full-School Community Experience. Full-school experiences, such as school assemblies and field trips, help bring students together and foster a sense of community. Events that combine different grades and classes give students the opportunity to make friends and meet new peers they might not otherwise encounter throughout the course of a typical day. These noteworthy events provide students with a shared experience to bond over as they compare their favorite moments, recount their participation as volunteers, and discuss what they’ve learned.
