Lewis Events has showcased on-campus school assemblies and special events for a wagon-load of years.  Students and staff have benefitted from the convenience and security on-campus educational programs offer.  Lewis Events now presents Virtual Assembly options for these programs, considering the health guidelines we are now experiencing.  Following is a brief list of options that will enable schools to choose an exciting program that will enhance the history curriculum.  Both the 4th grade Gold Rush and the 5th grade Colonial programs are included as part of the options.

The 4th grade Gold Rush is an exciting, interactive showcase where the rugged and exciting life of the Wild West Cowboy, and the thrill of the Gold Rush are brought to life. Two performers, dressed in period wardrobe along with unique sets or green-screen backdrops are utilized to establish the colorful historic theme. Presenters will utilize tall tales, audience participation, music, interesting props, and visual examples during the showcase. The presentation will include a world champion trick roping performance, game show, student participation, and a variety of other exciting show features.  Performers will lead guests through the great plains cattle drive era, into the 1849 Gold Rush, one of the most fascinating periods in United States history.

The 5th grade Colonial Experience will take students back in time for a visit to the early American colonies.  The colonists’ mindset will be portrayed, daily life in the colonies, the westward expansion, patriot hero showcases, student participation, and Bessie the virtual cow are a few of the show highlights.

The following lists the presentation options:

-In-person presentation at the school site.  Two costumed, historical characters present an educational and entertaining assembly.  The assembly is followed by a variety of hands-on activities through which students rotate such as gold panning, virtual cow milking, and exciting frontier games.  Lewis Events will work with the school to ensure that necessary health safety guidelines are followed.

-Online presentation to school with “History Delivery” activity package.  Two costumed, historical characters present an educational and entertaining assembly online from the Lewis Events studio located on a 5-acre ranch.  The assembly is followed by a variety of hands-on activities through which students rotate.  Prior to the day of the presentation, a package is delivered to the school containing materials necessary for the student activity rotations.

-Online presentation to students at their homes through school administrators.  Two costumed, historical characters present an assembly online from the studio.  The presentation is monitored and initiated through the school staff.

These entertaining and educational presentations are ideal for a 4th or 5th-grade end of year celebration, as a beginning of the year kick-off or any other time during the year to complement the in-classroom curriculum.
