School Assembly Magic!
Imagine effortlessly inspiring students to read more and respect others! Students LOVE magic, humor, audience participation & special effects, therefore completely absorb the strong educational messages in assembly programs: "Discover the Magic of Reading!" and “Take P.R.I.D.E. – Unforgettable Character Education & Anti Bullying Program!”
For a Teacher Workshop, “Accelerated Learning in the Classroom!” is both entertaining and highly beneficial for teachers.
For a wonderful Family show, “Magic Beyond Imagination!” is a BIG hit!...
I know you have many choices. Not many competitively priced shows are as engaging AND educational as these. I bring you my 25 years experience of performing hundreds of school programs and countless others for public & private organizations. School also benefit from my education at Villanova University and Mystery School, the top magicians’ theatrical school.

The Iroquois Museum is an anthropological museum that uses art to educate and inspire. Our collections of contemporary Iroquois art and archeological artifacts open a window into Iroquois culture and society.

The Museum provides a stimulating object-based learning environment that engages visitors on visual, tactile, and intellectual levels.
We offer pattern drawing and mandala drawing workshops.
We learn a little about the background of mandalas, explore patterns and the benefits to drawing patterns; and of course draw patterns and mandalas.
During the class everyone will have the opportunity to draw patterns and a mandala, but it is more about the process and less about the finished mandala. Throughout the workshop we will learn (and experience) how drawing patterns and mandalas can reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, improve focus and increase creative thought.
We will also work together to create collaborative designs, exploring the impact of everyone contributing their own unique approach toward a common project.
Benefits:
• The practice of pattern drawing reduces stress and increases focus.
• Exploring how to draw complex patterns helps us understand how to break large goals into less overwhelming segments.
• Our collaborative activities create a visual demonstration of how we all approach a similar task from different perspectives and how amazing the result is when everyone contributes to a common task or goal.
• Becoming more aware of patterns all around us leads us to look at our surroundings with great curiosity and appreciation

CMOO is a non-profit children's museum with 10,000 square feet of hands-on interactive exhibits whose mission is to inspire children to learn, create, discover, and explore through the power of play.
We offer a broad array of experiences to visitors through a variety of methods to encourage understanding and appreciation of the multifaceted story of a pioneer family in WNY. We strive to develop a ‘hands-on’ experience for visitors. From this site, the only fully restored stone dwelling of the early 1800's in Erie county, 200 years of history can be told through the Hull family – the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 & the burning of Buffalo, the opening and impact of the Erie Canal, early pioneer life, the Abolitionist movement, and much more on into the 20th century. Learn about the rich history of the Hull family and their role in shaping the local community! Student field trips to the Hull Family Home & Farmstead are being scheduled from May through October. Currently, we offer interactive lessons which align with the New York State Social Studies Framework for Grades 4 and 7, but we can also work with you to develop a trip tailored to your specific needs and interests.
The Unique Game Show uses multi-media trivia and team-building activities to combine team spirit, character education, and curriculum enforcement into one program. This multi-purpose assembly is perfect for any subject because you can customize the program if you wish! The Unique Game Show can be customized based on your school’s curriculum. Math, Science, English, Reading, Social Studies and History, Drug and Alcohol Awareness, and Character Education are only a few subjects to which we can tailor the show. The most popular curriculum show, however, is built around the core subjects of history, science, English, and math. The entire assembly is divided into teams (red, yellow, blue and green.) The game begins with a curriculum-based reading question; followed by a video question about pop culture trivia with large-screen video projection and music enhancement. Each round finishes with an audio bonus question. Teams can generate points not only by answering correctly but also by demonstrating good sportsmanship and team spirit. The team-building part of the game includes activities such as physical challenges and team karaoke. This program is a great way for your students to work together while reinforcing their studies.
