Dear Programme Coordinator,

Thank you for giving your time and energy to planning The NED Show at your school! Because of your efforts, students will enjoy a fabulous character education assembly that will inspire them to be champions both at school and in life.

We want each step to be efficient for you, so we’ve provided this guide and checklist to help you coordinate our program from beginning to end.

As you plan for the assembly, we encourage you to also explore our year-round resources for teachers, parents and kids.

A very exciting program is coming to your school.

Upon receiving this envelope, call (or email) your Account Executive at 1 800 681 112 if you have any questions.

Enlist a few TEACHER/PARENT VOLUNTEERS to assist with the Pay-It-Forward sale.

FORWARD the "MEET NED" email to all staff.

Approximately one week before the show, you will receive a "Meet NED" email from us. If your school is willing to send a staff-wide email, we highly encourage you to forward this email before we visit.
