Unforgettable
school assemblies in character education that will inspire your students!
I know you’ve been looking for an
exciting and inspiring program for this year's students' school assembly,
one that will enhance your character education and/or drug awareness
program(s). Good assembly programs are hard to find, especially for middle
and high school students.
My name is Rodney Rash and I'm a school
assembly speaker who specializes in character education. I have the awesome
privilege of traveling the country and presenting my programs to all grade
levels. I believe that young students' gifts, abilities, and talents, mixed
with their energy, give them an exciting zest for life.
For most students, middle school and
high school can be a tough time, bringing with them new friendships to be
forged and increasing peer pressure. Today’s schools are becoming more
and more challenging. The pressure to fit in or stand out is enormous and
often leads to some students making unwise choices about how they conduct
themselves and treat other people. Today, more than ever, middle school and
high school students need to learn these valuable life skills.
My 16 years of experience as a
corporate trainer for companies like IBM, Celestica, and Dupont have given
me the background and knowledge needed to educate others on the subjects of
team building, leadership, character, and peak performance. All of my
programs are research-based and are rooted in the philosophies of top
authors like Dr. Stephen Covey, Dr. Viktor Frankel, Dale Carnegie, and
others. I translate this into an understandable and applicable philosophy
and present it as skills for life.
