These
students worked exceptionally hard, some were outside their comfort zones and
put on several amazing performances. There were a variety of acts including
singers, piano, guitar and flute players, dancers, a comedian and a karate
enthusiast.

Some of
the performers included: Peyton White who sang “Corners of the Sky” from the
Pippin Musical; Matthew Media, who performed a very funny comedy set; Alyvia
Earle who sang “Loved by You,” a song she wrote; Mackenzie Daigle who played
the ukulele and sang “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol; and Rachelie Cloutier
performed an amazing karate demonstration. Each student gave 110 percent which
was reflected in their performances.
They
worked very hard practicing once a week, since January, with Shelly Cook, an eighth-grade
teacher at Windham Middle School,
who helped organize the talent show. Cook said everyone came and gave it their
all during those practices.

WMS
decided to have an evening talent show because Principal Patin wanted to
provide a time when parents could see how hard their kids had been working over
the last several weeks without having to take time off work.
“The support and genuine pride that
students feel for one another when performing is heartwarming,” observed Cook.
“Everybody is back stage hugging and giving high-fives after performing; this
is an opportunity for students to be in the spotlight and to showcase what they
are best at.”
After all
was said and done, the talent show raised over $550.
