"Our students started a 'No-Trash Lunch' day after the Toonies visited our school!"
 Vista View Elementary


The Toonies have been Minnesota state "spokes-puppets" for Arbor Month (AMP). Tricia has written and recorded Public Service Announcements for the MN Department of Natural Resources.


COOL!  It's a "NO-TRASH" LUNCH!!
The TOONIES  also perform at many community events such as fairs and festivals, city celebrations and family nights. All ages laugh along while learning more about caring for the environment.


Tricia talks about a
scene in one of their presentations:
"Kids truly want to make a difference. When Donster casually throws trash on the ground, I ask him what he thinks happens to it. He replies, " 'who cares'? You've got to see the look on the student's faces! They are stunned at his attitude.

 
Together we teach Donster about littering and the finer distinctions of recycling! It's inspiring to see kids excited about spreading the word and making a difference. The Toonies' mission is to educate and empower these future environmentalists.


PLANET PARTNERS ...
"RE-think!"
"RE-use!"
"RE-duce!"

There is a high level of interest in educating today's youth regarding vital environmental issues. Tricia & The Toonies perform a highly effective program in schools and communities with themes focusing on reducing, reusing, recycling, pollution prevention, natural resource conservation and more. 

Tricia & The Toonies have performed in hundreds of schools and received thousands of rave reviews from students, teachers and parents alike. Due to excellent evaluations each year, these teachers, principals and students and parents feel that more organizations who care about our environment should know about our services. These interactive presentations give the young ones an up-close forum where they become clear of the difference EVERYONE can make. The well-known phrase, "You're either part of the solution or your part of the problem", is delivered in an entertaining yet direct fashion.

Some of the puppet characters are excellent role models as they demonstrate a variety of environmental practices. Other puppets throw litter on the ground, put recyclables in the trash rather than the recycle bin or know nothing about reusing and reducing trash. The students are always anxious to guide these characters and share what they know. Together with Tricia, they teach these puppets, reinforcing the power of taking action and teamwork.

Many schools, community organizations and corporations have written letters of praise and recommendation. These references are available for your review and further consideration.

The Toonies can also tailor any presentation around your particular message.

Perhaps you'd like to sponsor this educational and fun-filled musical in your community and/or school district. In doing so, you are certain to be recognized once again as an environmental leader. Together we make the difference.

"The Toonies' greatest joy is contributing to the positive growth  development and  of today's children and their families. This is evident in their nationally acclaimed cassette tape, fabulous new video and in each and every one of their delightful live performances."
