Students are excited see their teachers get up there. Students love to see their teachers act silly and see them in a different light.
The assembly is a great way to bring the school together. Students and teachers need a break after intensive state testing in March.
We had a great response. I would say participation has only increased since then. We have over 30 student groups who read the 150 pages and want to sing.
Each year I try to pick an activity that is a part of pop culture and that kids are interested in.
