An amazing school assembly: The Possibility of Kindness

Kindness is absolutely essential to instill in students. Greg Bennick offers a new and positive approach to promoting kindness and to anti-bullying for young people nationwide. His messages are clear, and the laughs, along with most importantly the ideas, are nonstop.

He performs an assembly with interactive comedy juggling, with every trick explained and connected to meaningful lessons about kindness. The Possibility of Kindness™ school assembly generates positivity by asking students to reflect on what kindness means. Students learn what we can do to enhance kindness, and what our role is in bringing that kindness to our classmates, our families, and our community.

Greg addresses three central ideas in his assembly and relates them all back to being kind. He explains each of these ideas, in language tailored to each age group he serves:

Be kind: a simple idea, but an important concept. We look at ways to be kind to others and answer why it is important to do so.
Say yes: when we say yes to being kind, it opens up a world of possibilities for learning, connection, and growth
Its up to you: we explore personal responsibility and look at our role in elevating the ways we are kind to others

Students are also asked to remember and reflect on instances of kindness: their own and others’. Greg celebrates those as examples of what our behavior can look like if we make the choice to consider the feelings of others.

For students, growing up during the pandemic means a social challenge now that we are back to being live and in person. Behavioral guidance is key for young people during this time as students explore social norms without some of the foundational work that benefitted prior generations.

Students also need support around what bullying is, and what it is not. They need ideas for how to approach instances of bullying when they might find themselves to be a victim, or if they find themselves to be a bystander. They need tools for managing new situations.

Greg includes an all-day package where he visits classrooms and discusses directly with students the ideas they will see in the show.

He has been presenting school assemblies nationwide for decades, themed from anti-bullying assemblies to reading assemblies and now kindness assemblies. He believes that we create a better future for society overall when we focus on how students interact with one another today.

Greg’s practical ideas for students are custom crafted to your school by working in conjunction with you prior to the assembly day. This is a customized work, tailored to your school to help enhance the experience for students.

Greg also offers parent night events where he discussing bullying prevention with parents and explains how anti-bullying work begins at home, reviewing the ideas we talked about in the classroom and assembly discussions.

“Even quizzed a week later, students were able to remember what the five juggling balls represented! I would recommend your anti-bullying assembly to any school who is looking for a fun, upbeat way to support their message of respect and teamwork."
— Angela H.

“We just had Greg visit our school. It was the most uplifting and engaging assembly that I can recall. Greg delivers a powerful message in a humorous and electric fashion. Our students were leaning forward throughout the entire 45 minute performance.
— Mike McCartin, Principal, Orting WA

For HIGH SCHOOLS and MIDDLE SCHOOLS:

“Greg demonstrates and reminds us of the value of creativity and inspiration.”
- Rich Stremme, Brooklyn College
Brooklyn, New York

For High Schools and Middle Schools, Greg offers virtual and live assembly themes focused around leadership, inspiration, and learning:

• ENGAGE, EXPAND, EXPLORE - Time is short and talents are vast: how will you use both? Amidst “like” culture, our self-esteem is connected to the opinions of others rather than our visioning of our own potential. Greg inspires students to get out into the world and engage, expand, and explore life for all it has to offer. We need to reinforce healthy self-image and our own goals and dreams when everyone else’s opinion is just a click away.

• LEADERSHIP - Leadership is about listening, yes, but its also about taking initiative, imagining a better future, and serving others. Students who hope to be leaders need to listen in order to be in service and need to be compassionate and connected in order to advance everyone together. Greg discusses five essential qualities of leadership and inspires your students to take the lead!

• ANTI-BULLYING messages aren’t just for younger students. Treating others with respect is a core element of a healthy society. Students and faculty get to reflect on this important idea while having a great time in this assembly.

Another of Greg’s messages for high schoolers is “EXHAUST YOURSELF!” He inspires graduating seniors to get out in the world and truly make a difference.  This is a perfect presentation for a graduation as seniors from Catlin Gabel school in Portland Oregon discovered when they hired Greg as their grad speaker (photo below!).

 "Your act is beyond compare. Accomplishing what you did
in a high school environment is an incredible feat!"
 — Assembly Coordinator, North Thurston High School

"Greg speaks middle school!"
— Faculty Advisor, Oregon Episcopal School
