The middle school talent show was a hit this year! Izzy Wygal and Julia Wilson were emcee’s for the event where a number of talented students took the stage to share acts they prepared the last few weeks! Students weren’t the only ones having fun, though! Some friendly competition among teachers included reindeer games and candy cane contests. Some solo acts featured Teagon Miller on drums and Ava Chamberlain singing, ‘Rainbow’. WEB crew performed a dance of the decades from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. Comedians shared parody’s, and dancers and gymnasts took the stage as well! Thank you, to our middle school staff and students, for putting so much work into this every year!
