The Rhinestone Roper Show
Assembly 4/28/04

History: The Rhinestone Roper Show creates historical empathy for the daily life of the cowboy in the early American West. Students are able to share a common memory of their roots, of where they have been, and of what their core values are. With this greater sense of self and shared community, the show demonstrates that good citizens act in certain ways and with respcet for the rights of others.

By experiencing the traditions of the old west (song, story, the lariat, and the bullwhip) the students are taught a process that helps them develop the skills necessary to lead productive and fulfilling lives such as: self motivation, self, disciipline, perseverance, willingness to take risks, and craftsmanship. Students are also taught audience skills and proper etiquette in a variety of performance circumstances.

Physical Education: The Mink Family executes physical skills with rope and bullwhip from basic to more complex. They demonstrate, by example, the benefit of a physically active lifestyle free of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
