February 12, 2009 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln.
Celebrate Lincoln's birthday by bringing "Abe Lincoln in Person"
school assembly program to your School !
"Abe Lincoln in Person" will give your students the chance to see
the sixteenth president of the United States and to gain an insight into
the personality of this remarkable man as he tells the story of his life
from a log cabin to the White House.
Mr. Lincoln will speak about:
- Growing up in a log cabin
- His Family and Children
- The importance of reading, learning and history
- The entertainment of the day: The Medicine Show
- The Civil War and slavery
Author / actor Bob Conrad's uncanny resemblance to Abe Lincoln, due
to theatrical makeup and an authentic costume, will make all of your
students truly believe that they are seeing Abe Lincoln in Person.
Versions for K - 3, 4 - 6, and K - 6
Bob Conrad is the author/ illustrator of "Bob Conrad's Great Americans".
I just want to thank you for the wonderful Lincoln shows yesterday, as I worked with the
various students during the day, many of them brought up things they enjoyed and learned,
even 2nd graders. I think everyone got a lot out of it.
Thanks for your flexibility on doing 2 shows as well; it worked out so nicely having smaller
audiences.

On behalf of our Yocum Elementary School staff and students, thank you for your dynamic
presentation of Abe Lincoln . Your background knowledge combined with your attention to
detail served as a wonderful reminder of Lincoln's achievements.
I sincerely appreciate your kind and positive attitude with our children. They loved the
assembly!

I would like to thank you for coming to Johnson School and for your marvelous performance
as Abraham Lincoln. You were certainly Abraham Lincoln in the flesh!
Our students truly loved your performance and learned a great deal about the 16th
president of the Untied States. Mr. Conrad, you have the ability to get your points across in
the most palatable way. Our students, who ranged in age from 3 years to 11 years old
represent the grade levels of preschool disabilities through fourth grades. Every student
was attentive and hung on every word and move that you made. What a credit to your
talents!
Thank you, once again for providing our students with such an educational and entertaining
program. We hope to have you back in the future.

I wish to thank you for your wonderful performance last Friday on Abraham Lincoln at our
school. The children enjoyed your magic and puppet but most of all I feel they received a
better understanding of our 16th president. Your acting was very good and having you here
near President's Day made it very appropriate. Once again thank you for a very
educational assembly!
