This is for the show we had on October 8th with Jim Mitchell as the performer. The audience was our older kids 3rd-5th grade. Jim was absolutely amazing! He really engaged the kids in the interactive performance with his high energy, comedy, and props. Many, many staff members approached me after the show commenting how great the assembly was. The students seemed to enjoy the show while really hearing the message about bullying. Will highly recommend Jim and this presentation for older students to other schools in our area.

Fantastic feedback from our students and teachers. I have recommended your program to several other counselors in Henrico County Love the game show format. Might want to re think terms in that we use Target Aggressor and bystanders however Mr. Mitchell did a good job of acknowledging terms boys and girls have learned here at Tuckahoe Elementary. Excellent Job even in moments of crisis when transformer blew and we had to evacuate and then regroup for the 2nd performance.

We very much enjoyed the show. He managed to entertain, teach, and keep the focus a group of 400 3-5 grade students. Wow! I had many students and staff members come up later saying how much they enjoyed the show and how pleased they were to have a shared bullying vocabulary so that they can talk about issues more clearly.

The entire school -- students and teachers and our special guests--LOVED the program! Our students who participated were thrilled to be part of the show. One student in particular wowed us all then thanked us for giving him the opportunity to be in it. Our audience was really into the program. The "gameshow" concept worked very well. We were pleased that our students were able to answer Jim's questions about bullying; glad to know they've been listening to what we've been telling them. Our No Bullies Club, through a grant, helped sponsor the program. I think our school will definitely call on Academic Entertainment again soon to schedule another program. Outstanding!! Thank you.

The students were enthusiastic, especially with the characters dressed up. They liked the game show and as the audience were calling out correct answers. I think all students like competition and this one was a well presented learning experience. He held the attention of the students and only had to speak to them a few times about their talking but he said it and did it well. Thank you!

One of the best assemblies my school has ever had. Organized, format perfect, message clear, children are still talking about it. Today, I heard some children say to another child...remember..
