My Project

Every year, our program hosts a talent show for students in 3rd-12th grades. We are set to have our show this week and just learned that our sound system we have used in the past is no longer available to us.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!

We are improvising for this year’s show by having staff members bring in microphones, but it’s just not the same as having a karaoke machine. This show is so important because we get to see the hidden talents of all of our students. Sometimes they are so timid to show these talents, but during our show, they really bring it all! We are hoping to get a new karaoke machine to use next year and in the years to come!
