Relevant Communication
Information assimilation is a strong challenge with adolescence today. The need to give valuable information to help make right choices needs to be balanced with an approach that doesn’t lose their interest in the first five minutes. R5 mixes humor, skits, video and powerful personal stories to captivate the students right from the start.

Reconnect To Your Dream
By the time a student becomes a teenager, they know the difference between right and wrong choices. Our feeling is that if a student has already started making bad decisions, they have lost touch with their personal dream or the ambition to do something positive in life. Our hope is to reconnect that student with that dream, to give that individual a reason to seek help.

Rethink Your Perspective
Through powerful story telling, R5 attempts to help your students gain respect for one another. We challenge the students to “walk a mile” in someone else’s shoe and go beyond the stereotypes and labels that forever condemn certain individuals as a “slut”, a “loser”, or an “emo”, etc. We ask the students to go deeper than just reducing someone down to a sentence. At the end of the assembly, your students will have gained a broader perspective of your whole school.

Rediscover Your Influence
The social power that students have over each other is staggering. There is no doubt that by the time a student reaches adolescence, the biggest influencers in their lives are the peers around them. Most approaches to reaching teenagers try to nullify that power by pointing out the negative aspects. An R5 assembly helps to wake the “sleeping giant” of positive students in the school. The negative energy usually gets noticed more. Therefore, we help you find ways to recognize the students in your school that have influence, and then help them use that influence to mold and shape an atmosphere that is more tolerant of the unique individuals that make up your school.

Remember Every Student
This generation talks a lot about masks…the walls we put up to hide who we really are. While deep down, all that students want is to be known. They want to feel like their story is important to someone, anyone. R5 puts a value on every student. We want every person to leave the assembly with a positive feeling about themselves. No one should have to feel less valuable because they don’t look a certain way or hang out with a certain crowd. We help to level the playing field in your school, so every student leaves feeling valued and important.
