Northwest ES

Students at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville recently learned that greatness begins with good character during two interactive assemblies. 

Brian Richards from Academic Entertainment hosted the bGreat Show as he used magic, comedy, storytelling, audience participation, student leadership opportunities, and more to help Northwest’s students learn about trustworthiness, fairness, respect, responsibility, caring, and citizenship. The social-emotional learning message to students is: “Do you want to be great? It begins with you taking the first step!”  

Using the perfect blend of entertainment and educational content, Mr. Richard’s assemblies promoted a welcoming and affirming environment, which the students and staff loved. Though they laughed and were fooled by his tricks, the students also got excited about character.  

The district would like to thank the Amityville Parent-Teacher Council for funding this fun, educational assembly.
