Congratulates Glenn Colton

at V.E.W. Primary School in Bath

I have heard nothing but RAVE reviews from students and teachers!  It's not often we have someone who can captivate and have such great crowd control, and even entertain the adults too!                                                       Jessica Brown,  music teacher

Glenn Colton recently performed for students and staff at Vernon E. Wightman Primary School in the Bath Central School District.  Bath teachers and administration are to be commended for offering exemplary arts in education programs such as this one.  Glenn Colton is a teaching artist and a professional in every way.  Not only did his program address the NY State Education standards in multiple areas of the arts and academics,  he also was able to excite and calm his young audience at just the right moments.  According to his web-site,  the customized Character Education program 

...celebrates the three R's (RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and REALLY GOOD MANNERS).  The objective is to encourage healthy choices in your school and to help kids discover how the choices we make today affect our tomorrow....Character is defined as: knowing what is right, caring about what is right, and doing what is right. 

In this show, Glenn highlighted the character traits of particular interest to V.E.W. Primary School.

Using many props, humorous jokes, stories and songs, Glenn addressed issues of bullying, friendship, diversity, ecology, nutrition, fitness, literacy and excellence. Student participation was 100% as evidenced in the video clip below!

  

                             

Glenn came with plenty of props to share,  including photographs of himself when he was young.    

Glenn was not afraid to meet and greet the students!

Student volunteers helped hold signs displaying words of wisdom pertaining to character.

Listen to your teacher,

Treat your neighbor with respect,

Eat all your veggies and

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST!
