NED Show Visits Maple
NED is a loveable cartoon character whose name is an acronym for Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best.
NED is simple, relatable and kid-focused show that uses yo-yo tricks in its assembly performances. By mixing old-fashioned yo-yo fun into each show, the performer delivers a story and message that’s both entertaining and unforgettable. The excitement began with the all-school assembly at Maple Elementary School, but the themes NED touches on will continue to promote a culture of kindness and excellence throughout the year.
