All Aboard! That’s right – it’s time to climb aboard the Education Express with Stephen as he rides the rails in search of knowledge and fun! Departure Date? Departure City? They’re all listed below on the Tour Calendar. Our destination? The Education Station with several “Learning Stops” along the way. Stephen’s shows have been described as “an interactive celebration of music and learning” and offer children the chance to move, dance, sing, learn and have gobs of fun! So join Stephen as we all climb aboard the Education Express!
Dressing Like You’ve Been Working On The Railroad!
As usual, Stephen wants you and your class to dress up in clothes that fit the theme. If you were “working on the railroad” you’d find Engineers with overalls, hats and bandanas and conductors with suits, mustaches and watches. You’d also run across Hobos with raggedy clothes and soot on their faces. If you can’t dress the part, make sure you wear your “ready to have a great time with Stephen clothes” as we climb on board the Education Express! NOTE: No Whistles Please!
Tickets/Seats for the 2007-2008 All Aboard The Education Express Tour will be $4.50 each and must be reserved by phone at 800-234-9228, Monday thru Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., CST.

Share The Opening Song With Stephen!
Stephen loves to hear kids – and even some teachers – singing along with him during the concert. This year he is using a song that all of you should know: I’ve Been Working On The Railroad. You can print out the lyrics and practice with your kids before the show. The song with some additional activity lyrics written by Stephen will be featured on his upcoming CD and can be downloaded so that you can practice before the show.
I’ve Been Working On The Railroad
I’ve been working on the railroadAll the livelong day
I’ve been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can’t you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Don’t you hear the Captain shouting
Dinah blow your horn

Here's what teachers, parents and children have said about Stephen's concerts:
"The school and I had the opportunity and privilege of attending your concert in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I have to say that the Wiggles have nothing on you. You are truly an amazing one-man band that mesmerized and captivated the hearts and minds of our little children and if I must admit it, some of the adults, parents, and teachers as well. I thank you for putting on such a truly AWESOME concert that Matthew continues to talk about. Thank you. " Mary N., Proud Parent of Matthew and lil' Marc
"I attended your concert today in Bartlesville, OK. I was the Mom front row center! I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't expecting to have such a wonderful time! The children and the parents from Kane Elementary had such a great time. My little girl LOVED it! I've never seen her get up and dance like that. She came home and went directly to the computer so that she could listen to her new cd. Thanks for what you do. You are a true blessing to children everywhere! By the way, the monkey bit was a big hoot! My daughter had to tell everyone that the big monkey snuck up on you! That was her favorite part!" Tracie Leonard, Parent
"We absolutely LOVED it. I wish we didn't have to wait a year to do it again. That was the best field trip I have ever taken in my 11 years of teaching!" Erin Warren, Pre-Kindergarten
"Dear Stephen Fite, I enjoyed your concert. You are contagiously cool! You are unbelievable! I love your songs. My favorite is It's A Pizza." Abbey, 1st Grader
"Dear Stephen, I loved the show. It was the best field trip ever! My favorite songs were Herman the Worm and the Pizza song and the Button Factory. Thank you for letting us come."Madison, 1st Grader
"I had the privilege of attending your concert on November 20 in Springdale, Arkansas with my class of Kindergarteners. I have taught Kindergarten since 1990 and your concert was by FAR the BEST field trip I have EVER taken a class to! You kept the children entertained, interested, and excited the entire hour. But even better for a teacher - you organized the children getting in AND out of the theater. The children are still talking about your concert, they LOVE to "air guitar"- especially to let off steam and energy on stay in recess days! And I actually had one little boy crying big sobbing tears at the end of your concert. His reason - he just didn't want to leave - he wanted to stay and sing and dance wtih you some more! We have several of your CD's and I plan to keep Stephen Fite in our classroom! Several of the parents have requested information on ordering your CD's and a few children have YOUR CD on THEIR "Santa list"! Thank you Stephen Fite for producing quality, educational, CLEAN fun!" Sherri MacLean, Kindergarten
"Our students in grades Kindergarten through Grade 2 had the privilege of attending the Stephen Fite concert at Ozarka College this morning.During my years as principal we have attended many different programs, plays and shows. This was certainly one of the best, if not THE BEST program that our younger students have ever attended.Mr. Fite did an excellent job of entertaining, teaching, and modeling good listening practices for our students.He managed the crowd extremely well.I have heard nothing but good comments from both the students and other adults who attended the concert. Please pass on to Mr. Fite our own “THUMBS UP” for a tremendous job." Danny Brightwell, Principal
"Dear Mr. Fite, My favorite was the Monkey and the guitar!And You!" Houston
"Dear Mr. Fite, I enjoyed the show. You did a wonderful job playing the air guitar! You're awesome!" Jackson
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a fantastic concert!!!It was by far the best field trip I have ever taken a class on. It was very organized and enjoyable, even for the teacher who is usually nervous about field trip day." Jennifer Beckers, Kindergarten
"Thanks for a wonderful show! Your enthusiasm, energy and love of children and their music are so obvious. I hope and pray you have many more songs to share with children and teachers." Marilyn Whitson, 1st Grade
"It was so much fun I didn't want to go back to school again. I wanted to stay with you!" Caroline, 1st Grader
"I just want to say "thank you" for all that you do. I enjoy taking my children to your concerts and seeing how much fun they have. I am so thrilled that my daughters teacher uses your cds in her classroom. My daughter loves to go to school because every morning they listen and dance to your Welcome To School song. I was fortunate enough to be able to buy some of your cds and dvd so that I can share them with all my friends who have young children. Thank you so much for making learning fun for children. I look forward to seeing you in concert again and adding to our cd collection." Joanna McCarthy - Parent
