Thinking about taking my snakes to schools...

So I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and was wondering who else has done it. I would appreciate any advice and information from anyone who has experience in taking reptiles to schools and educating kids about them.
What do I need to do, how do I do it, etc?

I really would like to be able to educate people about the basics of snakes, and to show that they have no reason to fear them. I also want to educate about our native snakes (maybe blow up some big photos of native snakes to make it more interesting), and how to tell the difference between the venomous and non-venomous ones. Show them that snakes are good, not bad.

This is not going to happen until spring or even next fall, most likely, since I don't want to disturb Boaz (he's given me no choice, he's decided to brumate). He is the ideal snake for this since he never acts stressed, is very gentle and docile.

I also want Kalis to be a little older before I do this. Even though he's warming up to being handled, he's too skittish to be taken into an unfamiliar environment. I don't want to cause undue stress.

When I do this, I want to do it right. I appreciate any advice and ideas given.
