Arctic Express Graphics / Book List |

Bookmarks (Front & Back)I bring one of these bookmarks for each student at your school:
PostersI send you three of these 18" x 24" posters to post around the school to publicize your program. (Let me know if you would like more than three.) They really help build excitement about the "big day." The white bar is an area for you to write the date, time, and/or location of your programs, or any other information you'd like to pass on.
Printable GraphicThis is similar to the poster, but it doesn't have the white bar. If you're printing reading certificates or other forms and you can use this as a starting point, you're welcome to use it.
Press Release"This holiday season, treat your family to a program that’s trainloads of fun, filled with puppets, magic, storytelling, music, and audience participation. Hop on board the Arctic Express, where you'll meet a little boy who loved trains and wanted to follow his dream of driving a magic train and making magic snow. You'll also meet Roosevelt Rat, everyone's favorite puppet rat, who learns an important lesson about not giving up. And if there's magic in the air, Leanne the Magic Bunny just might make an appearance, too. This imaginary train ride magically takes kids around the world to learn about winter holidays like: Diwali, Kwanzaa, Solstice, New Years, Ramadan, Hanukkah, and of course, Christmas. It presents a positive message about setting goals and following dreams. If you love holidays, then come see this inspiring performance presented by Slightly Illusional. For more information, visit www.slightlyillusional.com, or come to your location at time on your date to see Conductor Curt, Leanne and Roosevelt present the magical 'Arctic Express' assembly."

Note: I remind students during the program that they can check out a book similar to the ones listed below. Topics that I discuss in this program include winter holidays (Diwali, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Lunar New Year, Ramadan, Hanukkah and Christmas), trains, magic tricks, geography, seasons and holiday spirit (giving, sharing, fasting and New Year’s resolutions). I may not get through all of these, but I'll try!
