North Carolina School Assemblies that Get Your Students Excited About Your Curriculum

Many school assemblies in NC are boring or fail to hold the attention of students. But other school assembly programs may have been fun and kept your students laughing but the supposed “lessons “in the show were subpar.



Because of the pandemic, things have changed. Any school assembly you bring to your students needs to balance fun with effective messages. A good presenter should captivate your children and involve them in the show. All of this needs to happen while reinforcing your school’s curriculum.

More than ever, your students need to get excited about math, science, and reading to prepare themselves for higher education and careers beyond school.

Can a good school assembly handle all of this?

If you’re reading this, you’ve come to the right place. I’m Joe Romano and I’ve been presenting school assemblies full-time for 30 years. After delivering thousands of fun and interactive assemblies to schools across the United States, I’m now focusing on schools in North Carolina.

Based in New Hanover County, I can provide your school with school assemblies that tick every box. My shows are filled with magic, laughter, music, join-in fun, and much more.

Principals, Teachers, Media Specialists, and PTO/PTA Love How My Programs Are Educational Yet Fun

Here’s what a past client had to say:

“Amazing! My kids thought the assembly rocked…but the best part…was when Joe got the kids quiet at the end of the show…this is a teacher's dream! Thank you, Joe Romano!”

- Cheryl Vaughn, 1st-grade teacher- Twin Hickory Elementary School - Henrico County, VA

And she’s not the only one. Over the last 30 years, I’m proud to have received hundreds of letters and emails thanking me after performing my school assembly programs for their students.

But you might be wondering how do I do it? How do I hold the attention of hundreds of students for an entire 45-minute assembly? My secret is simple: Variety! I use several techniques to grab kids’ attention and never let go.

Here are just a few examples:

Eye Candy: When your kids walk into the assembly area (gym, cafeteria, multi-purpose room, etc.) they will see large colorful backdrops, banners, and interesting-looking props. I guarantee any group of North Carolina students will be hooked before the show even starts!

Amazing Magic: Because of Harry Potter and magic shows on TV, magic has never been more popular. My assemblies are filled with kid-friendly magic that holds the attention of older grades while still appealing to the younger kids.

Join-In Fun: Your students spend enough time just watching videos on TikTok, YouTube, and more. My school assemblies for kids are fun because of how interactive they are. Your students get to help out with wacky science experiments, game show contests, or even superhero-themed math problems!

Hundreds of Laughs at Every Show: Studies clearly show that people of all ages benefit from laughing.* Laughter can improve our health, help us lower our stress levels, and improve our mental health. And because people retain more when they laugh, my school assemblies are filled with laughter.

Fun Music & Goofy Sound Effects: The best shows appeal to all senses! My assemblies are filled with music and silly sound effects to add another layer of fun to each assembly program.

My School Assemblies Will Reinforce Your North Carolina School’s Educational Curriculum

Here’s an important point. It’s easy for a school assembly presenter to get your kids excited. But the real accomplishment is weaving important messages in with the fun. Messages that inspire students to learn more, try their best, or treat others with kindness and respect.

I guarantee you’ll love my programs because of how they balance lessons with fun. Your students won’t even realize they are learning!

But instead of just taking my word for it, check out what another recent school principal said:

“Joe Romano has a way of engaging students and keeping them focused as he delivers messages about the importance of reading…Highly recommended!”

- Principal Harry Walker - Sandy Plains Elementary School - Baltimore, MD

But you might be wondering…

What If You Don’t Enjoy My School Assemblies?

Like you, I’ve heard the horror stories. About other North Carolina school assembly presenters who couldn’t get the job done. The kids were bored or making “snow angels” on the gym floor during the show.

You won’t experience that with my programs. I keep my assemblies updated to stay current with school curriculum. And after performing fun assemblies in schools for three decades, I know how valuable your time is.

But if you’ve never hosted one of my assemblies before, you might still have doubts. So, here’s my guarantee:

If I fail to meet your expectations for any reason (or no reason at all) you get the show for free. That’s it – no weasel clauses or fine print.

Now It’s Up to You…

After living near our nation’s capital for years, I’m looking forward to my new life in North Carolina. New Hanover County is beautiful, bustling with fun things for my family and me to do.

And I’m looking forward to bringing my fun-filled school assemblies to your NC school. I currently offer assemblies on science, math, character education, and reading. If you need curriculum-based assembly programs, I guarantee you’ll love what I can bring to the table.

But a word of warning. I visit between 200-300 schools every school year. I’m only one guy, so my schedule fills up fast. Contact me right away to avoid losing your preferred date.
