Just a few of the wonderful comments Jason Kollum has received about the “See a Juggler! Be a Juggler!” school assembly program:
“I just wanted to say that you were FANTASTIC! All the teachers were thrilled and so many moms at last night’s PTA meeting said their kids came home raving about the performance.”
–Joanne Tuianna, PTA, St. Zachary School“You really made our Catholic Schools Week special. The workshops were amazing! The children not only left the workshops excited about what they saw, but more importantly, each child left the workshop excited about what they can do. You were able to make each and every person feel successful! Each person left that workshop feeling proud of themselves! We would love to have you come back again in the future.”
–Mary Boehm, Peru Catholic School“What fantastic shows you did for my two educational facilities this past school year! The best part was the way you involved them! It amazed me how you were able to keep the attention and enthusiasm of this varied age group. There were kids ages 5-12 all in one small room and they were mesmerized! Wow it was a great day for our center when you performed!”
–Valerie Gangware, Temple Chai and Kindergarden Enrichment Teacher, Jewish Council for Youth Services“The kids truly enjoyed your program, and you handled all the different age groups with ease! Just the other day I saw a parent of a fourth grader from Wesley and she mentioned what a great time her children had, her daughter could not stop talking about how she could now spin plates!” –Carrie Nelms, PTO Committee, Wesley Elementary School
“The show was great and the workshop was so much fun! The students, teachers, and parents loved it! It was funny and amazing! “
–Karie Cotillo, PTO, Mt. Greenwood Elementary School“It was great! Lots of enthusiasm and excitement. A perfect end of year assembly. Thanks for a great show. I certainly would recommend you to other schools.”
–Jeana Considine, Principal, Elm Elementary School“We had a wonderful time and were so glad you came! The best feedback I got was from Mrs. Conner, one of our P.E. teachers. She said, “The teachers enjoyed the shows as much as the kids because every grade level had a different show. The kids got to try different activities based on their skill levels.”
–Jenelle Keene, Robeson Elementary
