Cost is $2.25/per child. This covers the cost of food, gas, staff, etc.
30-45 minute (increasing with age) sessions held with individual classes. Up to 3 holidays addressed in each session. Teachers are asked to come to a consensus about holiday choices.
Schools may schedule between 2-6 sessions per day.
A minimum of 60 students total, per school, must participate in order to book presentations. Involve your peers, and reach out to teachers from other grade levels. Note: If multiple grade levels in your school are scheduling Road Shows, try to pick different holidays for each grade to help students learn about new holidays from year to year.
The program display will be set up in one central location (ex: library, auditorium, etc.).
Due to rising costs, we will travel the first 15 miles (from UNC Asheville) free of charge. For every mile thereafter, a $0.50/mile fee will be included. We will travel up to 60 miles from UNCA.
