As the holiday season approaches, students in elementary schools are buzzing with excitement for holiday parties, activities and seasonal traditions. Many schools have just recently celebrated themes of respect in the months of October and November and continue these themes as they head into the holiday season. Social emotional learning lessons tie hand and hand with what is truly important during the holiday season; messages of unity.
“Gather Here,” a multi-cultural based school assembly program, offered by Coast to Coast School Assemblies is the perfect offering for schools to showcase the wonderful holiday traditions throughout the world through the lens of music. Assembly programs offer schools the opportunity to bring the students together to hear and experience one central message. At the holiday season, this message of unity, kindness, character and joy are vital in building a school where students are living the core values embedded in their mission statement.
3 Reasons Why The Assembly Program “Gather Here” by Coast to Coast School Assemblies is Perfect For The Holiday Season.
Celebrating Diversity - The holiday season is the time where we enjoy traditions, as well as celebrate holiday traditions from around the world. “Gather Here” focuses on celebrating the diversity within several cultures as well as highlighting common themes that run throughout all cultures. As the assembly program’s name suggests, a common theme that runs through many different cultures is the ability to gather with loved ones either to enjoy a meal or enjoy music together.
Showcasing Music from Different Cultures - “Gather Here” has a variety of music genres embedded throughout the show. The students are able to hear a plethora of music stylings and learn the music’s origin story, hence gaining a deeper understanding of the music from different cultures.
Bringing the School Community Together - A large part of social emotional learning is the ability to have awareness and understanding between all members of the school community. When all students hear the same uplifting message of unity and diversity, it reinforces the message of unity throughout the school and helps build a strong community of learners.
