Isaac's History In Schools
Isaac has been inspiring K-12 schools with his uplifting assemblies since 1981. In 1996, he launched his own brand of programs centered around an original anthem entitled “Take the Time 2 B a Friend.” This song spearheaded his return to public education, using music and speaking to convey critical messages of acceptance, inclusion, and harmony among students.
His interactive assemblies use upbeat engagement and candid conversation. Students are invited on stage to ask Isaac questions, humanizing the experience. He concludes by leading the student body in a stirring rendition of “Take the Time 2 B a Friend,” affirming that “perfect love removes all fear.”
The resonant 45-minute assembly plants seeds of compassion which blossom throughout the year. Isaac leaves students and faculty united in purpose, equipped to build a more just, peaceful school community. His words empower students to be the change while touching hearts through the unifying power of music.

Isaac is a dynamic motivational presence for people of all ages. In our case, he performed for our high school student body with the inspirational message of the importance of taking the time to be a friend. The students were riveted as he sang--- in his beautiful voice!---the importance of reducing bullying in teens' lives. I highly recommend him as a fabulous entertainer dedicated to spreading the good in the world!
