Performances
School Assemblies with Stuart Stotts are
fun, participatory, educational and filled with positive
messages. He includes stories and songs, as well as movement,
humor and meaning.
Stuart offers specific themes, but he also often customizes
programs to fit the interest of a school.
Stuart does many elementary school assemblies
every year, on topics ranging from the environment to multi-cultural
understanding. Children and adults come away feeling good.
One third grader said, "This is better than recess!"
Teachers and principals respond with similar enthusiasm,
to the messages, the humor and to the attentiveness and
involvement of the students.

However, unlike many performers, Stuart also
likes to work with middle schoolers, as well as high school
students. He finds that a combination of stories and humor
opens doors to the imagination of kids who might otherwise
be dismissed as merely cynical, or typically adolescent.
As one middle school student wrote afterward, "I thought
you would be boring, but you ROCK!"
