  • QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

  • How long is The NED Show?

    The assembly is 45 minutes of non-stop energy and interaction. If your school is hosting multiple shows please allow for a 15-minute break between shows.

     

  • What grades is the program designed for?

    Our show is designed for students in Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. (Parochial K-8th grade).

  • What does the performer need for the show?

    The school is asked to provide a 6 to 8 feet-long table and a small wastepaper basket in the performance area.

  • Can we include special messaging, like our school theme,
    in the show?

    Yes, our performers are able to seamlessly incorporate special themes such as anti-bullying, attendance, testing-preparation, leadership or a particular character quality into the main NED message. The NED Show is an excellent way to generate excitement around a school theme or emphasis. Discuss special messaging with your Account Executive prior to the show date.

  • How many kids can come to each show?
    Can my school have more than one show?

    Our show was developed for an all-school audience and is best received with the entire school present. We typically will perform a single show for up to 600 students. Seating is camp-style. Please contact an Account Executive for more details.

  • What’s in the content of the show and who presents it?

    The NED Show is packed full of positive imagery, fun illustrations and family-friendly examples that will motivate students. One of our highly-trained performers will put on the entire assembly. Each performer is subject to background checks and drug screening.

  • PAYING FOR THE PROGRAM:

  • How much does The NED Show assembly cost?

    We offer three choices when hosting our show, including our
    no cost, Pay-It-Forward® Cover Charge payment option.

     

    Pay-It-Forward Cover Charge – No cost to you because another school had paid the cover charge for your students.

     

    Standard Cover Charge – $1,400

    (Pays the cover charge for all of your students.)

     

    NED Deluxe Cover Charge– $1,500-2,300 (Pays the cover charge for each student, and purchases a NED-messaged yo-yo for every student.)

  • How does the no cost, Pay-It-Forward® Cover Charge Payment Option work?

    The Pay-It-Forward Cover Charge payment option is a unique way to bring our program to your school at no cost, covering each of your students' entry fee to the show. Instead of paying a flat fee to handle the cover charge for each of your students, proceeds from a previous school's sales are accepted as payment for your students' cover charge entry fees to your show and your sales pay it forward to another school. These items reinforce multi-sensory learning and are tangible reminders that increase a student's ability to retain the message long after the assembly. There is no minimum sale requirement and all items come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

    This option means your budget doesn't become a factor in whether or not you can share NED's character-building principles with your students.

  • Can we get an insurance rider for your performance?

    Yes. If your district requires proof of insurance, we can provide a certificate of insurance at no cost.

  • Can we run this assembly as an awards assembly?

    The NED Show was intentionally designed as an all-school assembly because ALL students deserve to hear the message that they can be champions. In fact, students who aren’t behaving well are probably the students who need the message the most. We have high demand from schools that want to bring the show to all their kids, so we perform the show for as large of an audience as possible.

  • Do you have a one-page overview that I could show my principal, school counselor or PTA?

  • INTERNATIONAL FAQs:

  • Do you perform shows internationally?

    Yes. The NED Show travels to the United Kingdom typically in June and early July. We tour Australia and New Zealand in late July and early August. We also present shows in Canada (except for Quebec) throughout the year. Contact an Account Executive for more information about a tour in your area.

     

  • What content is in your programme?

    Our programme focuses on character development. The message of NED is simple: Never Give up, Encourage Others, Do Your Best. We believe that every child can be a champion if they remember the message of NED and apply it to their lives. We hear stories every day about how our programme has had a positive influence on the general culture and behaviour of entire student populations. In fact, All for KIDZ is based on the positive impact that can be made in the lives of primary children through the all-school assembly format.
