If you’re looking for school assemblies in or near Syracuse, NY, I can help you. Effective school assembly programs can get your students excited about your school’s curriculum, but only if they hold their attention.
I’m Syracuse School Assembly Presenter Cris Johnson. Since 2003, I have delivered interactive and engaging school assemblies to students across the United States. I guarantee I can hold the attention of your students and keep them focused on my messages.
I currently offer 9 different programs. Each is filled with magic, contests, interactive fun, music, games, and more. Your students will be so caught up in the fun that they won’t even realize they are learning!
Here’s what a principal from a school I visited recently had to say:
“Cris Johnson is someone you most definitely want to come visit your school and present to your students! His professionalism, charisma, and programs are far above the rest. He handles every last detail himself and makes every part of bringing his assembly programs (from scheduling to day-of setup) easy for the principal and school. The caliber of his program content is perfect for students in today’s ever changing and growing complex world. Whether he is showcasing character traits or test taking strategies, your students will be engaged and listening as a result of his mix of high interest tricks, media, and sensory inputs with choice language and explicit powerful messaging. By far what makes Cris the best assembly program provider for your school though is his ability to manage a large crowd! From the time the kids enter your gym, cafeteria, or multipurpose room to the time they reenter the classroom, Cris has them following his every lead in being respectful and courteous, quiet when necessary, and participating appropriately. Never have I had an assembly end so calmly and quiet!”

Want to know why I am so convinced your kiddos will enjoy my programs?
Simple. I include a variety different fun elements in my assemblies. By combining magic, comedy, music, games, contests, and other eye-catching techniques, your students won’t want to risk missing anything.
But my most valuable and effective tool is my interaction with kids. If people (of any age) are involved with an activity, they retain more information. And they pay more attention!
To be fair, plenty of other school assembly performers make the same claim. Here’s why I’m different.
My overwhelming collection of testimonials throughout my website shows the quality of my programs. I haven’t counted, but I estimate I have at least 100 different comments from school administrators, PTA?PTO parents, and many more.
In short, my track record speaks for itself.
My STEM/Science assembly has won national awards. My character education and bullying school assemblies continue to get updated each year to reflect current curriculum goals in schools. And my amazing math assembly show turns a topic some kids find boring into a roller coaster ride of hilarity!
But it’s more than just laughter and fun. Kids also love my shows because of my eye-popping and colorful set designs. I have even heard some students say they felt like they were going to a Broadway play when they attended one of my shows!
However, I get it. All of my hyperbole on my website may not be enough. To ensure you feel 100% comfortable with your decision to bring me to your school, here are two more considerations:
Yup, it’s true. Don’t like my assembly program? Don’t pay. And I will even hand your PTA/PTO representatives a check for $500 just for wasting your time.
That’s a strong guarantee, right?
But here’s the deal. I have performed 400+ shows a year since 2003. I’ve traveled to 38 states in our great country. And I have never had even a single client take me up on my guarantee.
And neither will you.
I’m friends with several other school assembly performers in the United States. A lot of truly great ones. And none of them feel comfortable offering a guarantee like mine.
Unlike other performers, I believe in offering a lot of information to help you make the most informed decision. With that in mind, I want to thank you for sticking with me on this webpage to this point!
If you’re looking for school assemblies in Syracuse, you’ll love my programs. Many of my other Western New York school clients bring me back year after year. Because I offer so many topics, they feel comfortable bringing a brand-new programs to their students each year.
For some schools, funding assembly programs is a challenge. If that’s your school, I want to help. I’ve put together an informative report that outlines a mind-boggling 9 ways to fund your Syracuse school assemblies!
The report is called, “9 Secret Sources Of Funding For School Assemblies,” and you’ll gain instant access to it when you fill out the Contact Form at the top of this webpage. It’s yours free, no catches or strings attached.
You will also receive detailed information on my assembly programs that you can share with your planning committee.
Do you like that personal connection? Feel free to call me on my personal cell phone at (716) 940-8963. I’ll answer any questions you may have.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

P.S. I almost forgot. Because I perform so many shows a year, certain weeks on my schedule fill up fast. “Read Across America” often fills up a year in advance! To avoid disappointment, contact me right away, while you’re thinking about it.
“Thanks so much for the fabulous assembly, Cris! The students and teachers all had a great time and are still trying to figure out your magic! The assembly was awesome, and it kept everyone engaged. Everyone loved everything you did, especially the ‘Floating a Student in the Air!’”

“Your presentation was great. The students seemed to really enjoy it. The quick pace was great to keep everyone’s interest and the kids loved being able to actively participate in the presentation. That was great that you were able to include so many student participants. They really loved that. Thank you for coming in. We hope to see you again in the future.”

“Thank you again Cris, I received such great feedback from the teachers and the principal and (since I posted videos and pictures on our school Facebook page), parents as well!”

“Cris did a wonderful job of using his performance magic to support our P.A.R.P theme: ‘books are magic…the real trick is reading.’ Outstanding & very easy to work with!”
Scott Tellgren, Principal
Springville Elementary
Springville, NY
“I have NEVER gotten feedback like this on an assembly! Cris was the PERFECT choice- directly tied into all we do here. We all really enjoyed his show and the kids loved him too! Thanks so much!!!”
Jennifer Norman, Principal

Rocky River, OH
“Thanks again for coming to Hill and Plain. It is so hard to find Character Education programs for our young students but your shows NEVER disappoint. Several teachers remarked how good you are and I love your messages: The message about not judging others from what they see but how you got to get to know the student and know them from the inside. Also the last magic trick about including others…that visual was so ON key. Having the white little block left out was so evident to the students and they comprehended well. I also loved the magic trick where the strong kid can’t pick up the box…it was perfect for that particular kid because he’s pretty popular and having him not be the “one” that succeeds was perfect.”

“Just a quick note to say how much our family enjoyed your magic show at Niagara Street School! Your show was delightful, entertaining and hilarious! Thanks again for a wonderful show!”
