001[Music] How far are we? [Applause] Ready for the end. Anybody? Everybody do the spots. Everybody do your spots. Four people first. Four people first. [Music] And there you have it, the deathdeying trapeze artist. [Applause] Oh, they can't even hear you way in the top of the circus stand, folks. One more time. The trappies artist. [Applause] One more time, folks. The amazing trapeze [Applause] artist. Now, while our trapeze artists are going backstage, getting rid of their costumes, and taking their seats again, [Music] How about we give one more giant round of applause to all of our performing superstars? [Applause] [Music] And how about one giant round of applause for our amazing ring masters. Let's bring them up one more time. We had Nick and Ma and Melanie and Pereie and Nick. Where's Nick? Nick. How about
002a big round of applause for our ring masters, folks? [Applause] Now, I would like to say I would like to say just one quick thing if I may. I would like to say, "Wow." Oh. Oh, hold on a minute. I don't think you understand. We have been doing this very same circus performance, this very same pro pro program now for 25 years. For 25 years, have we traveled all over the Midwest doing the same circus programs in schools just like this one. So by now you got to understand by now after a couple thousand of these it is really hard to impress us anymore. But today you guys you guys blew us away. Not only not only were we impressed with the amazing showmanship and creativity and poise on stage of all the kids. You
003know what impressed us even more? That anywhere we looked this morning, we saw students being kind. We saw students following directions. We saw them encouraging each other while they were t taking risks everywhere. I I have to say Chuck and I were thinking that this may well have been one of the best behaved groups of kids that we have worked with. So give yourselves a pat on the back for that. Not only were these kids amazing all day, folks, the adults that we had the pleasure of working with today, all of the school staff and all of our amazing volunteers, anytime we needed anything at all, there was a smiling face willing to do whatever it took to make this work for the kids. Today, you you have one amazing school community. Give yourself one
004round of applause for [Applause] that. Now, as is the tradition, at the end of the day, we turn this microphone over to your principal. And that is what indicates the moment that this circus becomes once again a school. And I always like to give the school back to the principal the same way that we found it. And you know what? This morning when we got here at 8:00, this school it was very very quiet. So, I am going to bring out your principal, Mr. Flynn. Please, Mr. Flynn. Mr. Flynn, I would like to congratulate you on your amazing school community. I'm about to hand you the microphone, but uh there is a small little detail I've slipped my mind. It's a tradition in the circus. It's called if you want the mic, you have to
005earn it by performing a deathdeying stunt. Now, we could put Mr. Flynn in one of the barrels. Or we could make him ride the unicycle. Or uh we could uh What do you got? Oh, Chuck. How many did you bring? Six. This is a great idea. Mr. Flynn, we are going to have you stand right there on the blood stains. Chuck and I are going to fling six bowling pins at each other. Mr. Flynn is going to stand in the middle and avoid every last one. Have you guys seen The Matrix? Yeah, it's like that but live. Now, I don't want anybody to worry at all. Chuck and I, we tried this once before and that principal will be out of the hospital in two more weeks. Nothing to worry about everybody. What we need
006right now from everybody is a drum roll [Music] Mr. Flynn. [Music] the principal with nerves of steel. Thank you. All right. Thank you everybody. All right, boys and girls, nice and quiet now. Real quick at this time, I'd like to ask all of the staff and all of our parent volunteers that helped so much to come on up. We're going to do a quick picture.
