Free Assembly Program for Schools that Recycle!

 

Schools that recycle are eligible for a free assembly program.  If you are just starting or have had a recycling program for years, we recommend an assembly to kick it off or just to remind everyone why it is important to actively participate.  Schools requesting a free assembly must register for the Recycling Assistance Program.  Contact one of the providers below to schedule your program.

 

 


Jack Golden's "Garbage Is My Bag" Comedy Show

Grades K–8, 45 minutes
Dates to be Announced
 

Jack Golden, as the comedic “expert” Dr. T, delves into a mountain of trash - and an even bigger bag of vaudeville and circus tricks – in search of answers to the problems of solid waste disposal.  With a “Ph.D. in Garbology,” a zany and irresistible personality and a marvelous trash-to-treasure-o-matic recycling machine, he juggles and jokes his way through a world of waste.  Dr. T delights his audiences while sharing his knowledge that rubbish is a resource that is just too good to throw away.  Check out the program on http://www.garbageismybag.com.

 R’s for Life!!! With Live “Spokes-Animals”

Grades K–8, 45 minutes

 

R’s For Life is a fun, fast-paced show that will leave kids with a new understanding of what an impact they have on our local environment and their futures.  This program focuses on empowering and inspiring kids to be a part of the solution!  Renewable and non-renewable resources, economics, and citizenship all come into play in this lively discussion.  Colorful and interesting props help kids learn about how they can and why they should reduce, reuse, and recycle everyday.  Live “spokes-animals” for the environment motivate kids to be thoughtful of their actions and learn more about what they can do to help.  A teacher resource packet and booklets for each child make sure learning doesn’t end once Crystal Clear leaves.
