Along with Matt's "just for fun" show, he also offers a special school assembly program that uses juggling as a catalyst to convey an environmental message about the importance of the balance between use and conservation. The ideas of reducing, reusing, and recycling are brought to them in an educational and fun way. Matt involves the students at every turn by calling them up to help him with an environmentally themed stunt: whether it is helping him balance a stack of recyclable cereal boxes or cheering him on as he reduces the size of the objects he’s juggling from huge beanbags chairs all the way down to tiny marbles. Most of these routines are choreographed to up-beat tunes that will have the students engaged and excited. Finally, at the end of the show, Matt brings the message all together with an old vaudevillian routine using juggler’s cigar boxes. Chants of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!” will be heard all throughout the school.

As a follow up to the "just for fun" show or the environmental show, Matt can get all of the students involved in hands-on workshops. This part is completely optional and can only be purchased in conjunction with a show. This is where the kids can get a real feel for the circus arts. Matt will bring enough equipment for up to 75 kids at a time to be involved with a circus skill. He will break the group down into three stations, each with a different prop: balancing peacock feathers, spinning plastic plates, and juggling scarves.
