Yesterday we had three assemblies done by John Isgro with Arithmetickles. They were great!! We had two during the day, one for K-2 and one for 3-4 and an evening event for families. The teachers ranted about the ones during the day and the families attending the evening session really enjoyed it.

We had about 100 people. I think we would have had more if the weather hadn't been so yucky.

If anyone is thinking about this, I wholeheartedly recommend them. John was very professional and made things run very smoothly. It was just a hoot!

BTW, I saw them at the Dallas PTO show last year.

How do I find out if he will do my area? I'd like more info please...lol...

Just go to Arithmetickles.com . They have a touring schedule on it. They weren't touring Arkansas, but we asked for a date when they were touring Texas and Oklahoma. I say they, actually it is a he, but he was great!! The kids came out jazzed and the parents are still talking about it. Several who didn't come have been wanting to know when they can come back.

Now down to cost...did your pto pick up the ticket for all events (including the evening session)?

I looked for the price, but couldn't find it. How much? It looks like a great program.

Yes, we did pay for it all. The cost was $1300 for all three shows. Add another $200 for evening refreshments. I have not talked to a single person who felt it wasn't worth it. Just having one show is a little more expensive. You get a price break on additional shows.

If there are other schools in the area, you might want to see if several want to go together for a couple of days. I know that it saves the travel time for the performer.
