Each of our three engaging assemblies promote positive attitudes, academic achievement & better behavior by transforming the way students face challenges.
Performances are available either in-person or via live-stream!
My name stands for: Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best!

For more than three decades, I’ve been on stage with incredible live performers. Together, we’ve impacted millions of kids with messages like showing kindness, doing your best, and having an awesome mindset for learning. When we do a school-wide assembly, we make it so entertaining and fun that kids remember and talk about it forever! We also make hundreds of printable resources for teachers and parents. I hope you’ll check it all out!
