WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Andrew Hawk, Principal
Delphi Elementary School
Delphi, Indiana
In our current times, it is more important than ever that we teach our children where we came from and how we got here.
[This program] goes a long way in a short period of time to do this! Empowering for both girls and boys, this show will be praised by thespians, historians, and children of all ages!-
Mary Anthrop
Retired Lafayette history educator and History Channel award winner
Engaging, entertaining and educational! Audrey Johnson has cleverly woven song and narrative into a delightful presentation for young audiences.
Her performances not only meet Indiana’s Academic Standards, but prompt thoughtful discussions and encourages further research of historical eras.
Camille Barker, Principal
Hunt A+ Arts Elementary
Sioux City, IA
The Hunt A+ students and staff genuinely enjoyed the Women's Suffrage program!
It was engaging, interactive, and educational. We were so grateful for the opportunity and look forward to more programs by Audrey Johnson.
How We Help Teachers:
We reinforce official
academic standards
Programs reinforce History/Social Studies, Music, and English/Language Arts Academic Standards.
We have developed these programs alongside seasoned educators, using the education standard codes as a direct guideline.
We support SEL & character building
Our programs feature songs about American heroines and heroes from throughout our nation's history.
Students learn that the heroic qualities of these Americans are still important today–and that these qualities live inside of each one of us.

We foster content retention and independent learning
All of our programs are accompanied by a substantial set of cross-disciplinary & SEL supplemental materials.
Our unique 'combination method' helps students retain important social studies content, and uses stories of historical figures as examples of SEL values.
