Assistance League Antelope Valley Kids on the Block


	Making A Positive Difference in the Lives of Children

An Educational Puppet Troupe

After each skit, the puppets invite the children to ask questions. The students react openly and sincerely to these sensitive presentations and often follow up with letters, too.

"Thank you for a wonder full show of puppets on Thursday. I learned that graffiti is bad to do. When you see somebody drawing on the wall you tell your mom or dad to call the police. I think that your puppet show was funny. I liked the part when the boy on the wheelchair when he did the wheelie. It was cool."

ALAV Adopted The Kids on the Block Project in 1989

Our educational curricula help to create positive attitudes and behavioral change for present and future generations. Each year, the “Kids” meet over 6000 students throughout the Antelope Valley.

Assistance League of Antelope Valley has an energetic troupe of puppeteers and an active support crew. Members present The Kids on the Block to third graders in 5 school districts and several private schools. The child-size “Kids” offer scripts on a variety of subjects, including physical disabilities (cerebral palsy,) learning differences (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and social problems (recognizing and dealing with bullies, graffiti prevention and stranger safety.)
