This fast-paced, highly entertaining and educational assembly program uses magic, humor, storytelling and audience participation to engage the students imaginations and teach them life affirming messages.

"Bully-Proof Your School" teaches students character traits that will not only make them better people, but will create an environment in your school where there will be no room for bullies.

"...your magic entertained and enthralled" "Your gentle manner and sense of humor leant credibility to the message and personal responsibility for one's behavior, sensitivity to others, and good moral character while your magic entertained and enthralled. The students really listened to your final message about not being a bully or allowing bullying to happen." - Nancy Thomas, Principal, Mary Ethel Costello School, Gloucester, NJ Click here to view the actual letter

"...captivated the students..." "You so captivated the students with your magic and kept them involved, attentive and entertained - all while instilling important messages of being respectful, responsible, caring people 'of good character'! I received phone calls of thanks from the principal, the guidance counselor and teachers. But I really knew the assembly was a success when my own children came home from school that day remarking how 'cool' it was." - Renee Gillies, Cultural Arts Chairperson, Ramtown School, Howell Click here to view the actual letter

"...was the single most effective one we have ever seen" " We were so impressed with his professionalism and with the quality of Jim's program, that we asked him to return again to conduct a teacher and parent in-service as well as another program for our students." - Michael Wald, Ed.D., Certified School Psychologist Somers Elementary School, Somers, CT Click here to view the actual letter

 

This program has been developed after considerable research and consultation with a good number of New Jersey educators (in particular student assistance specialists.) Dr. Alan Sugarman, former Superintendent for the Fort Lee School District and a renowned expert in the field of Anti-Bullying, has been a strong supporter of this assembly.

The Major Themes Of This Assembly Are:

• Respect
• Responsibility
• Caring

RESPECT:

We teach students that respect is all about treating others the way we wish to be treated. We talk about how we need to respect each other, and how we have to learn to respect ourselves as well. We emphasize that respect comes from not judging a person by what they look or act like on the outside, but by taking the time to learn what's on the inside.

RESPONSIBILITY:

The theme of responsibility is dealt with by teaching the students that the first step to being a responsible person is to learn to make the right choices and follow the rules.

CARING:

Finally we talk about how to be a caring person: by both doing and saying things to help others. And of course, the program also deals with the important issue of how to manage those bullies who just won't go away.

"Engaging positve and infectous" "When my office phone is buzzing with praise before the second assembly even starts, I know I must get the word out to colleagues that this is an assembly not to be missed" - Helen C. Levine, Eli Whitney PTS Cutural Committee Chair & School Nurse Click here to view the actual letter

"Do not let this Gentleman and his program pass you by!" "Truly, Jim Vagias worked Magic as I watched several hundred 3 thru 5th graders absolutley enthralled with one of the most dynamic and interesting approaches to 'Responsibility', 'Character', and 'Caring' one could imagine." - Alan W. Sugarman, Education Consultant/National Speaker Click here to view the actual letter

"...requested by students and teachers again and again" "It is rare to hold a school assembly in which the performer is able to control a lively crowd of first, second, and third graders as effectively as you do! The ways in which you incorporate every child's active participation, engage them with humor and magic, and also send a important message about the importance of character have made your assembly one that is requested by students and teachers again and again!" - Greta Watson, Principal, Shepard Hill elementary School, Plainfield, CT Click here to view the actual letter

 

While these themes seem rather dry on paper, they are presented in a fun and engaging manner: using magic, humor, audience participation, and storytelling to get the point across, and to reinforce what I suspect is already part of your curriculum.
