“What a powerful and engaging performance! Corey blended our school's character education program into his character education themed performance to create a thought provoking and exciting assembly for our students, which they have been talking about for weeks. He chose students of all ability levels to participate in his challenges, and was encouraging and uplifting. We were thrilled to have him come to Mowrey Elementary and would gladly invite him back!”

“Corey’s “Upstander” anti- bullying assembly was the best assembly we have ever had and let me explain why! Corey customized his performance to incorporate our school rules and values within his anti-bullying message. He was proactive at the beginning of the assembly to set respectful boundaries for our students to follow while actively engaging them in his message, performance, personal story, and basketball tricks. Corey rewarded students for doing their best after participating and emphasized how they can have a positive impact on the people around them through their own positive and encouraging behaviors. I highly recommend this assembly to any school interested in a memorable and impactful message!”
