Top Nine Reasons To Choose “Mr. Dennis” Regling:
Just in case you are considering different options and several presenters, here are 9 reasons why our school shows are your best buy. I hope that you find these helpful when choosing the right assembly for your students.
1. Teacher Support Materials: Whenever you schedule a school assembly program with us, you will receive helpful teacher materials for classroom discussion and project ideas to use before and after the program. We all know that children learn from repetition and we strongly believe that the ideas in the program need to be reinforced to the students so that everything will stick in their minds after the program has ended. These support materials help to “extend the life” of the program.
2. Smiles & Laughter: Mr. Dennis knows and understands the best way to reach children while motivating them at the same time is through laughter. An important point to remember is that his performing arts: magic, “clean” age-appropriate comedy, and puppets are used to enhance the motivational messages and help to keep the children “tuned in.” Everything Mr. Dennis does has a reason for being there and it all ties in together.
3. Control Of The Audience: Not everyone can hold the attention of several hundred students at a time for almost an hour. With his years of experience, Mr. Dennis has learned exactly how to keep the audience under control throughout the entire program. You’ll be amazed as you watch the students in your school sit quietly and respectfully. Every program ends with the “mute closing” which has all of the students completely quiet as they leave. Teachers and Principals love this and you will too!
4. Targeted To The Grade Levels: We know that not every school can or wants to fit everyone into a program at the same time. Therefore, We have designed 3 versions of each program. There is one for younger students (Pre-K- 3rd grade), one for older students (4th- 6th graders), and one which is suitable for various grade levels. The teachers and Principal always appreciate the differences!
5. Audience Participation: Various students will get to take a part in the program. Some segments involve the entire audience participating together as a group while others use volunteers. No student is the center of jokes or is made fun of or put down in any way whatsoever.
6. Self-Contained Programs: Some performers may ask you to provide them with a list of what they call “requirements” for their program. we won’t ask you to provide us with anything other than a simple electrical outlet and an audience- that’s all! There is nothing for you to worry about at all!
7. Testimonials From Raving Schools: All of our programs have been well received in hundreds of schools and we’ve got the references to prove it. What other school officials have to say is so much more important than anything that we can tell you. Therefore, we are happy to provide you with a long list of names and telephone numbers of schools that have hosted our programs so that you can have complete peace of mind.
8. Ways To Save Money: We understand that many schools have a budget that they must stay within. Therefore, we always offer several discounts to schools that want to host a program. Also, keep in mind that there is no charge for mileage!
9. Professional In Every Way: It’s no secret, that many schools have hired “not so good” performers that have wasted everyone’s time with so-called “motivational programs.” We’ve heard many nightmare stories from schools before and these kinds of performers drive us crazy. Dennis Regling brings 38 Years of Experience In Educational and Motivational Speaking to every program. Programs are curriculum based. Designed to be entertaining, informative, and memorable. GREATASSEMBLIES.COM is insured and our staff is professional and caring.
There you have it- 9 reasons that make our school programs a cut above the others. We hope to hear from you soon!
