How it works...

A Year Long Customized Character Education theme program:
 

Plan in the Spring & Summer with steps one and two:

#1) Conference with Johnny Only by principal or character education committee to assess school needs and themes several months before the first show.

#2) Johnny writes new songs or customizes existing songs to meet your needs and themes for your upcoming school year.

For the Fall, steps three and four:

#3) Your theme kickoff assembly in the fall with your customized songs performed by Johnny Only for the student body. (Inviting the parents and giving out custom printed balloons, pencils, or bookmarks, help emphasize your theme.)

#4) Students voices are recorded singing the custom written songs with Johnny on the audio CD project in individual classrooms, music classes, or small groups (Ties into science, technology and music, while helping student buy-in and esteem. This can be done throughout the fall months or during an artist residency.)

During the Winter, steps five and six:

#5) Use songs in Morning Programs to re-emphasize your theme and to help ingrain your message.

#6) Have occasional and brief performances by Johnny Only at morning programs or character education group events with new songs written and recorded as needed to match your needs.

During your reading month, step seven:

#7) Have Johnny write a reading song and perform during your assembly for PARP kick-off. (Johnny's presence and song lyrics tie Character Ed into the reading curriculum solidifying your theme even more.)

Back to the spring for steps eight and nine:

#8) Have copies made of the CD with all of your custom songs being sung by your students with Johnny Only. School wide distribution of the CD brings it home to the parents and surrounding community helping to put your message into the student's homes.

#9) Have Johnny DJ a Character Ed themed sock hop or other family oriented evening event which will showcase a few of the songs complete with the accompanying dance steps or choreography and the kids singing along. (This will also help the parents and surrounding community to know and use your theme outside of school. The attention generated during the sock hop, will help to make good character cool.)

Full circle to planning your new theme for next year!
