Programs designed to inspire children

to believe they can achieve!

Discover the secret to motivating your students to better behavior, better grades and higher self-esteem!

Dear Friend,

Booking a program that inspires, motivates and entertains your students is a difficult task. You want the program to be educational yet entertaining - all while staying within your budget.

What kind of program really captures a students attention?

A quality speaker who uses a unique approach to edutainment that includes story telling, audience participation, music, creative magic, puppetry and theatre is the secret to really capturing a students attention to ensure that they really do absorb the messages in the program. Every one knows that kids learn and retain more while having fun!

"You continually get rave reviews from the children, the staff and the parents. It must make you feel very proud to be able to impact so positively the lives of young children. We all look forward to your return!"

Arleen S. Nussbaum

The Unique Solution You Need To Really Make A Difference!

My name is Leo "Stretch" Salgado, and I specialize in helping schools and organizations through out the country motivate and inspire their children. Programs available to motivate your kids include the following:

Teaching character can be

more fun than you think!

Focus On My Actions Character Show!

Stretch the Silly Man delivers an entertaining magic and comedy packed program for schools with a strong message about character. Students will learn to "Focus on my actions," because actions show character. The character traits covered in this program include: respect, trustworthiness, caring, responsibility, fairness, and good citizenship. 

 I Know I Can Show!

Learn from your mistakes! Never give up! Believe in yourself! It's what's inside that counts! Respecting others and your teachers! Say no to drugs! Setting Goals!

 

So Why Should You Bring My Programs

To Your Students?

BECAUSE YOUR KIDS ARE WORTH IT!!

You can teach a child to do the right thing, but when they are faced with peer pressure it's going to be the feelings they have about themselves and others that will help them make the right decision.

Why Do I Do "Motivating Kids"?

For many years I have done research on motivation, self-esteem and success. This research has literally changed my own life. I now wake up excited about my day and enthusiastic about my job, my relationships and life in general. It is my goal to share this excitement with school children through out the country.

As the father of two, I am concerned with all the negative images given to children today. Our children are introduced to dangers at a younger and younger age every year. There is so much peer pressure and unfortunately many children are giving into negative influences. It's even worse that our children are seeing their favorite sports heroes and television stars being caught using drugs and alcohol and receiving nothing but a slap on the hand. What does this teach our children?

With this show I project a positive message and an energetic, positive self image. The shows shares inspirational stories about famous people and personal stories through the medium of entertaining and magical routines presented in the program. The kids have a great time at the show and learn something at the same time. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
