NEW “BIG HEART- ED” Tolerance and Friendship assembly for elementary students (K-6th grade)
Meet “Big HEART Ed” the newest addition to the BOOM Troupe family. Ed is the kind of kid everyone wants to be his or her friend. But not because Ed is cool or good at sports, but because he has HEART (HONESTY, EMPATHY, ACCEPTANCE, RESPECT AND THOUGHTFULNESS) and uses those traits when he meets new people. Through Ed’s actions, we learn how to use HEART to be tolerant of differences (in our physical appearance, ways of life, our beliefs and ideas) and be the kinds of friends we would all like to have. “BIG HEART ED” was inspired by the latest research from the Teaching Tolerance Organization and the Illinois Learning Standards for Social and Emotional Learning.
"Awesome! I really enjoyed this program!! The staff was super lively and really engaged the students. The lessons were age appropriate and the topic was appropriate for our character education program. I love that after each scene the students were asked questions. The interactive portion was great! I will definitely tell our principal to have BOOM Troupe back for another assembly because it was really entertaining and educational and I felt the students really enjoyed it."
Staci Klein, 1st grade teacher (Western Ave Elementary, Flossmoor)
NEW “STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART”Tolerance and Friendship assembly for middle School students (6-8th grade)
We all know about the “It’s A Small World” ride at Disney World. It’s message: that despite our differences we are all human beings and we are more alike than we realize. In the style of a faux news show, “STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART” teaches your students through humorous scenarios and discussion about tolerating differences, in our physical appearance, ways of life, our beliefs and ideas. Implementing HEART (HONESTY, EMPATHY, ACCEPTANCE, RESPECT AND THOUGHTFULNESS) you students are shown how to make new and stronger friendships. “STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART” was inspired by the latest research from the Teaching Tolerance Organization and the Illinois Learning Standards for Social and Emotional Learning.

Dear principals, parents, social workers, school psychologists and assembly coordinators,
The goal of B.O.O.M. Troupe's programs are to empower today's students and impress on them the importance of being good human beings. The lessons we teach are those of bullying, tolerance, character education, high school issues, internet safety, reading, and health/nutrition. Boom Troupe (along with a group of amazingly talented performers) teaches young people how to be good humans. Our vision is to empower tomorrow's leaders. Our programs teach young people important, valuable and crucial life lessons.
In this day and age our youth don't have role models, they have movie stars and American Idol. We want our children to succeed and thrive in this world but at the cost of their own character and integrity? I look at the world around me and I am stricken with the effect the media has on all of our lives. We have taken away from our children the means to learn how to be good human beings. We should be nurturing and teaching them how to nurture themselves. How in the world are they supposed to know what it is to have integrity, honor, honesty, empathy, respect? Where are they supposed to turn to find the tools they need to build their own characters? And most importantly when it comes time for them to be the adults, the examples for the next generation, HOW WILL THEY KNOW?
That is where B.O.O.M. Troue fits in the picture. We hope you call today to see how our programs change the way your children think and look at the world around them.
