Basic
Information for Coordinators
• Please notify Tom ahead
of time of the age range and size of the expected
audience. The largest all-school assembly audience
should number no more than 350 students. Ideally,
so that all students can see, hear and participate
in the program comfortably, divide it into two
groups of about 150 children each. Tom’s
preference is to have students seated either on
the floor or on chairs in a horseshoe-shaped configuration.
Note: Tom is experienced with both large and
intimate groups, however, so if this is not possible,
don’t worry about it.
• If the program is scheduled in a venue
that makes use of a computer and DVD player with
projection capability, please let Tom know. This
equipment is not at all required but it allows
the possibility of enhancing the program with
additional media.
Day
of Presentation
• Tom will arrive 30-45 minutes
ahead of presentation time. He will need to know
where to park and unload. He uses up to 4 large
rolling carts for the program. Be sure to discuss
with the school custodian or staffer in charge
that a program is on the schedule to establish
that the venue is ready on time.
• It’s a good idea to
allow teachers 10 minutes lead-time to get their
students to the assembly venue. As Tom is allotting
40 minutes to each program, you don’t want
any classes to miss part of the program or interrupt
a program that is underway. (Most teachers also
remind their students of what is polite behavior
during assemblies.)
• In general, it’s best
if smaller younger children can sit down front
for any program. Tom will oversee seating for
his programs unless your school prefers to leave
this in the hands of a staffer.
• Tom does not need to be
introduced, but would certainly be happy were
a school staffer to do so. At the close of the
program, please assign a teacher or administrator
to dismiss the children.
• It’s helpful to The
FOOD Museum to have feedback after each program
from teachers and administrators. We bring a Visitor
Book for people to sign and also will be leaving
assessment sheets with your school. We appreciate
receiving your responses. (Reactions can also
be posted on line at www.foodmuseum.com, Click
on: USA School Assembly Tour.)
Thank you!
