The NED Show is an all-school assembly program, designed to promote positive attitudes, better behavior and improve academic achievement through character education. We’ve motivated more than 23 million students in the past two decades and will perform at more than 6,000 schools in cities around the world this year, making us America’s most popular assembly. Presented through storytelling, humor, visuals and audience participation, The NED Show motivates… encourages… INSPIRES your students to become Champions at school and in life.

We teach three vital yet simple skills that bring out the champion in every kid by sharing the story of NED, whose name is also an acronym:

Santa Fe's Story

When The NED Show performed at Santa Fe Elementary in Kansas City, Missouri the impact of the NED message went leaps and bounds beyond their already high expectations. We recently went back to Santa Fe to visit with staff and students to see more about how The NED Show impacted their school. Watch their story and see what the NED message could inspire at your school.

After The Show

We encourage teachers to keep the NED message alive throughout the whole school year. We know how valuable your class time is, so we partner with you to make a lasting impact. We provide free resources, worksheets and activities for your room as well as in our online store that can remind your students of champion behavior, such as teacher reward stickers and NED-message school supplies. Although the assembly is a 45-minute performance, by incorporating NED language and activites into your classroom, you can continue the student’s enthusiasm and develop understanding of what it takes to be a champion at school and life.

NEDucate Your Class

Every child can be a champion if they remember the message of NED and apply it to their lives. We partner with teachers to give as many opportunities to incorporate NED’s positive message into your school culture as possible! Invite NED into your classroom with the resources provided on this page.
