Rise + Rhyme is a weekly morning storytelling and performance series for children ages 5 and under with the goals of teaching children to engage with their community, learn to love performing and become rising artivists!

Mr. Leroy Hyson is a retired educator in the Montgomery County Public School System who taught grades pre-k to 6th grade. He has over 30 years of experience working with children and still enjoy seeing kids learn and grow at every age. His exciting show features a full concert for the whole family featuring themes such as friendship, never giving up, and feelings. He also instruments, colorful scarves, pom-poms, jump ropes, hula hoops, cool sunglasses and more.

Hr. Hyson energetically plays his guitar Georgette while instilling positive messages that give children opportunities to express themselves through speaking, dancing, singing, and acting.
